About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

As our first Product Manager, you'll own product end-to-end and work directly alongside the founding team.
Own product discovery and be accountable for outcomes — we hand you problems and constraints, not solutions. You're measured on the value you create for customers and the business, not on features shipped.
Own the roadmap and prioritization — driven by customer evidence and company strategy, not by whoever shouts loudest.
Drive customer discovery yourself — you'll be in front of auditors, risk managers, and compliance teams regularly.
Build the product operating model from scratch — discovery cadence, how we decide what to build, how product, design, and engineering work as one team.
Work as one team with design and engineering — addressing value, usability, and feasibility together, not throwing requirements over a wall.
Partner with our CEO on go-to-market and pricing — you bring the product and customer evidence; he owns the commercial side.
Become a GRC expert, fast — controls, RACM, audit evidence, the regulatory frameworks.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You've worked inside a genuinely empowered product organization, and you can show us what good product discovery actually looked like there — we care more about what you've shipped and the outcomes you drove than years on a CV
A track record of owning outcomes, not just shipping features — you can point to a decision you made from customer evidence and the result it drove
Strong product experience in B2B SaaS
You drive your own access to customers — proactive, relentless about learning from real users, never waiting to be handed them
Comfort being the sole PM with no playbook — you can stand up the operating model, not just operate within one
You learn deep, complex, regulated domains fast — and you enjoy it
Strong product judgment under ambiguity — you run discovery on real customers, build conviction, and know when to commit
German at C1 and English at C1 — you'll run discovery with German-speaking GRC teams and work with an international team daily
Nice to have Comfort working closely with technical founders and engineering teams
Experience with AI-native products or LLM-powered features
Exposure to GRC, compliance, audit, risk, or regulated industries (regtech, Big4, infosec)
