About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Shape and drive forward our Enterprise product by identifying, evaluating and prioritising customer needs through a deep understanding of the market, our organisational context, our existing capabilities and the new capabilities we need.
Take a critical view of current product opportunities, group opportunities and propose a clear roadmap and influence both lemon.markets and dwpbank to deliver it.
Act as the primary product interface between lemon.markets and dwpbank for Enterprise opportunities, managing stakeholders at all levels including senior leadership.
Lead by example, demonstrating strong product craft across the product development lifecycle by providing clear product direction, clarifying scope, making key priority calls, distilling alignment and creating clarity on new product and partner launches.
Work cross-function and cross-domain across engineering, operations, compliance, risk and business development to scope solutions and ensure execution.
Support org-wide craft standards and build scalable frameworks for how Enterprise product work is structured, documented and measured.
Manage and develop your direct report, fostering their growth and ensuring high-quality delivery.
Anticipate market and regulatory shifts that affect Enterprise opportunities and proactively adapt the strategy.
Drive decision-making with data, continuously forming hypotheses, running experiments and measuring impact.
Represent the product function externally with partners, vendors and enterprise clients where appropriate.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You bring 7+ years of product management experience, with a strong track record building and scaling complex, mission-critical platforms in financial services.
You have hands-on experience working in a highly regulated environment and understand what “regulated” means day-to-day (risk, compliance, controls, auditability).
You navigate complex stakeholder landscapes across multiple companies, create leadership-level buy-in, and drive alignment with a strong writing culture (clear docs, decisions, narratives).
You are based in Germany, have the right to work in Germany, and are professionally fluent in English and German.
You’re effective at bridging a fast-moving scale-up and a long-standing industry leader, working across organisational boundaries, diverse stakeholders, and different working cultures (your path into PM can have taken some twists and turns).
You shape product strategy across domains, find cross-domain opportunities, connect delivery to company strategy, and thrive on ownership, defining ambiguous problem spaces, creating structure where there is none, mentoring and developing others, working data-driven with measurable impact, and embracing change/experimentation (incl. leveraging AI) end-to-end.
You thrive on ownership and building from scratch. Defining a new problem space, creating structure where there is none and seeing it through to tangible results is what gets you going.

Benefits

Comp & perks

🚀 Compensation package: We offer you a competitive salary, based on your experience and the value-add you bring to lemon.markets.
🕑 Flexible working hours: We trust people to choose when they work best and avoid a rigid 9 to 5 mindset. You decide on the rhythm that helps you do your best work, with only shared core hours from 12:00 to 16:00 to support collaboration.
🏢 Hybrid work setup: You can work from anywhere in Germany within a hybrid model. At the same time, in-person collaboration is a key part of our culture.

📈 Grow with us: We take your personal development seriously! You’ll get regular mentorship and stretch opportunities, a clear career development framework with frequent feedback conversations as well as an annual learning budget.
🌱 People & culture: You’ll feel our culture in the small things, like polaroids from our lemoneers’ first day, Friday food market strolls at Maybachufer, and our monthly new-joiner breakfast. But also in the bigger things: celebrating the onboarding of new partners, growing our teams, and owning a strong discussion culture.
💛 Perks & benefits: We choose benefits that add actual value. We sponsor a Deutschlandticket for employees on unlimited contracts, plus 50% off on Beatvest - our partner for financial education and investing.
