About the Role
This is a founding product role at a small, fast-moving team building software and AI tools for the skilled trades industry. You will own product direction end-to-end, working directly with engineering to ship features that make a real difference for real businesses. It is an opportunity to shape how product work is done from the ground up at an early-stage company.
What You'll Do
-
Own the full product lifecycle, from uncovering user problems to defining solutions and shipping them.
-
Translate company goals into clear product priorities and well-reasoned 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 evolve how product work scales as the company grows.
-
Operate in a high-velocity, low-ceremony environment with direct feedback and no management layers.
What We're Looking For
-
Genuine end-to-end product management experience with a track record of shipping, ideally gained at an early-stage startup.
-
Native or C1-level German (spoken and written); fluent English for internal communication.
-
AI-native mindset with hands-on experience applying AI tools and AI-first product patterns in product development.
-
Strong technical understanding and comfort scoping and designing features directly with engineers.
-
Sharp product taste and close attention to UX details.
-
High agency: you take ownership, push things forward, and do not wait for permission.
-
Comfortable making decisions under ambiguity and iterating fast when wrong.
-
Experience in fast-paced, early-stage environments; candidates whose background is primarily post-Series B or corporate are unlikely to be a strong fit.
-
Side projects or independently built products are a strong plus.
