Founding Product Manager
About the Role
This is a founding product role at a seed-stage B2B SaaS company building software and AI-powered back-office tools for trades and home services businesses in Germany. You will own product direction end-to-end, working directly with engineering in a small, fast-moving team where your decisions have immediate, visible impact.
What You'll Do
Own the full product lifecycle, from understanding user problems to shipping solutions.
Translate company goals into clear product bets, priorities, and tradeoffs.
Scope, design, and ship features in close collaboration with engineering.
Make confident product decisions under uncertainty and course-correct quickly.
Build a deep understanding of users, their workflows, and real-world constraints.
Bring clarity to the team on what is being built, why, and what done looks like.
Help shape how product work scales as the company grows.
Operate in a high-velocity, low-ceremony environment with fast feedback loops and few meetings.
What We're Looking For
Proven end-to-end product ownership experience in fast-paced, early-stage environments.
Strong technical understanding with the ability to reason about systems and engineering constraints.
Experience applying AI-first product patterns and using AI tools in product development.
Background building products for crafts, trades, or home services SMBs is a strong plus.
Good product taste with a clear opinion on what makes a product great, including UX and UI details.
Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and iterating quickly.
High agency: you take ownership, push things forward, and do not wait for direction.
Fluent German (spoken and written) is required for the product interface and partner communications.
Fluent English is required for internal communication.
Side projects or personal builds are a strong plus.
