About the role

  • Temporarily own Mobile as your squad - Our native iOS and Android apps serve as the primary touchpoint for tens of thousands of end-users daily.
  • Manage and develop the PM team - You will be the direct manager of 4 Product Managers (including a new Senior PM hire for our core squad). You own their 1:1s, career development, performance, and hiring.
  • Become the go-to sparring partner - Product sparring is central to how we work.
  • Drive PM excellence - Audit and improve our product management processes.
  • Champion AI-native product development - You will be the driving force behind adopting AI tools and methods across the PM team.
  • Own hiring for PM - Starting with a Senior PM for our core squad and eventually a dedicated Mobile PM, you will build and execute the hiring roadmap for the product management function.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in B2B SaaS product management, with at least 3 years in a mid-market or enterprise environment.
  • 2+ years of direct people management of Product Managers (not just tech leads or designers).
  • Strong technical acumen. You don’t need to write code, but you need to understand architecture, APIs, and platform trade-offs well enough to spar with engineers on eye-level.
  • You are AI-native in your own work. You can demonstrate, with real examples, how you use AI tools in discovery, analysis, prototyping, or spec writing today.
  • Experience with mobile product development (iOS/Android) is a strong plus, given your squad ownership.
  • Fluent in English. German is a strong plus but not required.
Benefits
  • Unlimited Annual Leave - take the time you need to recharge.
  • Annual company summit: Meet the whole team at our yearly summit in inspiring locations across Europe (check out the video from our last summit).
  • Team “Bursts”: Unlimited opportunities to collaborate with your team in person.
  • Home office support: Financial contribution to set up a comfortable, productive home office.
  • Learning & development: Annual budget for coaching, certifications, and conferences.
  • Joy budget: Annual budget to spend on activities that spark joy, connection, and shared energy.
