Founding Product Manager

About the role

This is a founding product role on a small, fast‑moving team building vertical SaaS and AI tooling for the skilled trades market in Germany. You will own the product end‑to‑end, working directly with engineering to ship features that solve real problems for real users.

Key responsibilities

• Own full product direction, from understanding user problems to shaping solutions and shipping them.
• Translate company goals into clear product bets, priorities, and trade‑offs.
• Work closely with engineering to scope, design, and deliver features quickly.
• Make confident product decisions with incomplete information and course‑correct fast.
• Develop a deep understanding of users, their workflows, and real‑world constraints.
• Bring clarity to the team on what is being built, why, and what “done” looks like.
• Help define and scale product processes as the company grows.

Required profile

• Proven end‑to‑end product management experience in early‑stage startup environments.
• Hands‑on experience at a pre‑Series B or seed‑stage company; corporate or late‑stage backgrounds are not a fit.
• AI‑native mindset, comfortable applying AI‑first product patterns and using AI tools in development.
• Strong technical understanding and experience shipping features directly with engineers.
• High agency: takes ownership, pushes things forward without waiting for permission.
• Comfortable being wrong and correcting course quickly in ambiguous situations.
• Native or near‑native German proficiency (C1+) and fluent English for internal communication.
• Independent side projects or self‑built products are a strong plus.

What we offer

• Salary range of €80,000 – €100,000 per year.
• No visa sponsorship is available for this role.
• On‑site work five days a week in Berlin‑Mitte, Germany.
