Senior Product Manager / Permanent / Onsite Munich / Start ASAP
The role
You own a product, not a backlog. The platform is expanding beyond inside sales; you shape where it goes. You set the direction, make the trade-offs and own adoption and revenue for your modules. Engineers own delivery; they build with AI agents and ship in days. What they need from you is clarity: business impact, framed problems, data, trade-offs.
What you'll do
- Develop the strategy for your part of the product: where it goes, why, and what it will not do.
- Create a plan as guidance, and be ready to throw it away when experiments and customer learnings say so.
- Build, not just decide: Instead of writing long specs, ship small changes yourself when that is the fastest way to learn, and put working software in front of users early.
- Run product operations and your own work AI-first, not just the product: discovery synthesis, analytics, documentation and internal processes are automated wherever possible, with the quality bar of an expert. No AI slop.
- Set priorities and make the hard calls, including scope or stop decisions.
- Do discovery where the work happens: on site with teams at manufacturers. Bring back framed problems with evidence, not feature requests.
- Hold the room with senior industrial buyers: be a credible expert in their domain, say no when needed and have them leave feeling heard.
What you must bring
- A track record of owning a product: you set the direction, made the trade-offs and owned the outcome. Ideally 0 to 1 or 1 to 10, best case AI-first.
- B2B SaaS experience with complex workflows: your users did a demanding daily job with your product.
- You build with AI: prototypes, coding agents, AI in discovery and insight work. You are comfortable going into the codebase yourself (AI-assisted) to test an idea, read what is there or ship a small change.
- AI-first as a habit: you automate your own product ops and internal work, and you can tell good AI output from plausible-looking junk.
- Design and UX judgment for dense, data-heavy software.
- Stakeholder management with C-level and demanding users at manufacturers, and the standing to be the expert in a room with 30 years of industry experience.
- Munich on-site. German at native level (C1+) and fluent English; discovery and stakeholder sessions run in German.
