Founding Product Manager

Darum lohnt es sich

• 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 • 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)
