About the role
- You support the (further) development of our products from the initial idea through sampling and supplier management to a successful market launch — data-driven, hands-on and always with a focus on the Funzy target group.
- At the same time, you ensure that quality, product data and compliance are correct: from certificates and CE documentation to compliance with relevant EU regulations and standards across the entire supply chain.
- You identify new product ideas and categories through thorough market, trend and competitor research and convert them into concrete concepts that fit Funzy.
- You manage the entire product development process: from briefing, material selection and sampling through testing to market launch.
- You analyze customer feedback in a data-driven way (reasons for returns, support tickets, reviews, UGC photos/videos) and derive concrete optimization measures.
- You work closely with suppliers, resolve quality and product issues pragmatically and implement improvements directly.
- You define and maintain product specifications (dimensions, materials, components, packaging) and ensure a clean handover to Operations/Logistics.
- You are responsible for our certificate management (e.g., TÜV, OEKO-TEX, potentially GS): documentation, validity periods, renewals and coordination with partners.
- You create and maintain CE declarations of conformity and coordinate testing with external test labs and suppliers.
- You ensure compliance with relevant EU regulations and standards (including REACH, product safety, relevant EN standards; ideally in the context of ISO 9001).
- You maintain and are responsible for product master data: technical data, safety instructions, care instructions, materials, test reports and documentation.
Requirements
- Degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management or a comparable qualification
- At least 2–3 years of experience in purchasing, product development, product management or category management, ideally in a similar role
- Preferably experience in consumer goods (ideally furniture, textiles, Home & Living)
- Startup fit: You are comfortable with pace, changing priorities and imperfect processes — and you build structure where it helps most
- Hands-on mentality and strong ownership: you drive topics proactively, solve problems pragmatically and deliver results reliably
- Very good understanding of quality, product safety and compliance in the EU (e.g., CE, relevant EN standards, REACH; certificates such as TÜV/OEKO-TEX/GS are a plus)
- Negotiation skills and convincing communication abilities
- Strong analytical thinking and a structured working style
- Enthusiasm for innovative products and trends
- Fluent German and English.
