Darum lohnt es sich

About the Role A seed-stage B2B SaaS company building software and AI tooling for trades and home services SMBs is hiring a Founding Product Manager to join a small, ambitious team in Berlin-Mitte.

What You’ll Do • Own product direction end-to-end — from understanding user problems to shaping solutions and shipping them. • Translate company goals into clear product bets, priorities, and tradeoffs. • Work closely with engineering to scope, design, and ship features quickly. • Make product decisions with incomplete data and course‑correct as needed. • Develop deep understanding of users, workflows, and real‑world constraints in the trades/home services space. • Bring clarity to the team on what is being built, why, and what "done" looks like. • Help define how product work happens as the company scales. • Embrace high velocity: fast feedback loops, few meetings, and hands‑on shipping.

What We’re Looking For Must-haves: • Fluent in both German (spoken and written) and English — German is required for the product interface and partner communications; English for internal team communication. • AI-native mindset: active use of AI tools in product development and familiarity with AI-first product patterns. • Experience owning product direction end-to-end, from problem discovery through to shipping. • Comfortable making decisions under uncertainty and correcting course quickly. • Experience working closely with engineers — scoping, designing, and iterating on features fast; ability to reason about systems and technical constraints. • Experience building products for crafts, trades, home services SMBs and/or fast-paced early‑stage environments. • Strong strategic prioritization skills: translating business goals into product bets, including AI-first considerations.

Mindset over CV: The team cares more about how you think and act than years of PM experience.

Compensation & Benefits • Salary: €80,000 – €100,000 per year • Early‑stage equity opportunity • Modern, light‑filled office in Berlin-Mitte • Direct access to founders and real product influence from day one Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

This is a hands‑on builder role with real end-to-end ownership: you'll drive product direction, ship features alongside engineering, and help shape how product work scales from the ground up. The company is backed by well-known early‑stage investors and operates in a fast, low‑ceremony environment with direct feedback and no management layers.

This role is ideal for a high-agency PM who thrives in ambiguity, thinks in systems, and wants to leave a visible fingerprint on a product used by real tradespeople running real businesses.

Nice-to-haves: • Side projects or things you have personally built. • Strong UX sensibility and attention to UI/UX detail, even without a formal design background. • Experience using AI tooling in a product development workflow. Candidates must already have the right to work in Germany.

Location This role is fully on-site in Berlin-Mitte, Germany. Daily in‑office presence is expected.
