Founding Product Manager

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a founding product manager role at an early-stage B2B SaaS startup building software and AI tools for the trades industry. You will own product direction end-to-end, working directly alongside engineering to ship fast and shape how product work scales at the company. It is a high-ownership, hands-on role with real influence over what gets built and why.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the full product lifecycle, from understanding user problems to shipping solutions.
• Translate company goals into clear product priorities, bets, and tradeoffs.
• Work closely with engineering to scope, design, and ship features quickly.
• Make product decisions with incomplete information and course-correct as needed.
• 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 shape how product work scales as the company grows.
• Operate in a fast, low-ceremony environment with direct feedback and no management layers.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Genuine product management background with end-to-end product ownership experience at early-stage startups (pre-Series B).
• Native or C1-level German proficiency (spoken and written), as the product and many partners operate in German.
• Fluent English for internal communication.
• AI-native mindset with hands-on experience applying AI tools and AI-first product patterns.
• Strong technical understanding and experience scoping and shipping features directly with engineers.
• Sharp product taste with close attention to UX and product details.
• High agency: you take ownership, push things forward, and do not wait for permission.
• Comfortable making decisions under uncertainty and correcting course quickly.
• Able to work on-site daily in Berlin.
• Side projects or independently built products are a strong plus.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Salary: 80,000 to 100,000 EUR annually.
• Visa sponsorship: Not available.

LOCATION

On-site, five days a week in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
