Product Manager

About the Company We're a fast-growing, VC-backed startup on a mission to bring precision AI forecasting to one of the most under-digitized industries out there: industrial spare parts and procurement. Our platform helps businesses avoid costly, unplanned downtime, which can cost upwards of €20,000 per hour, by giving them accurate, AI-driven forecasts and, ultimately, fully automated procurement decisions. We've proven our core forecasting technology works. Now we're looking for a Founding Product Manager to help us turn that technical strength into a product customers love to use. The Role This is a founding Product role with the scope of a Product Lead and a clear path to Head of Product.

You'll be the first and most senior product person in the company, owning Product end-to-end: discovery, roadmap, delivery and go-to-market, with direct access to the founding team and high autonomy from day one. You'll bridge complex technical and AI capability with real customer usability, working hands-on with engineering and spending serious time with customers in industrial procurement. We're not looking for someone to run a process someone else designed. We're looking for someone to build the product function, set the standard for how we make decisions, and grow into leading it.

What You'll Do Spend real time with customers, on calls, on site and inside their workflows, and become the person in the company who understands them best Own the product roadmap end-to-end, balancing technical feasibility, commercial priorities and customer needs Get deep into complex industrial procurement workflows: multi-departmental ordering, negotiation processes and real-world operational constraints Turn what you learn into clear, well-scoped tickets, and work closely with engineering to prioritise and ship Make the calls on what we build and what we don't, and hold the line when founders or engineering push in a different direction Get comfortable with the logic behind our forecasting and AI models. You don't need to be a data scientist, but you should be able to verify implementations and challenge assumptions Bring a strong sense of usability and design.

There's no dedicated product designer yet, so this is yours to shape Support go-to-market, translating new features into clear customer-facing communication Set up the product function as we grow: process, rituals and, in time, the team What We're Looking For Significant product management experience, ideally in B2B SaaS, industrial tech, or AI/analytics, including at least one product or area you owned end-to-end Ready to be the most senior product voice in the room. You've either done this already or you're clearly the next step away from it Genuinely customer-driven: you'd rather sit in a warehouse for a day than run another internal workshop Excellent judgment under incomplete information, and the confidence to make prioritisation calls, explain the reasoning, and defend them to founders and engineers Comfort with quantitative and technical concepts.

Unafraid of formulas, data models and forecasting logic Strong commercial instincts. You understand what moves revenue, not just what improves the product A hands-on, builder mentality. This is an execution role as much as a strategic one An entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable with autonomy and ambiguity in an early-stage environment Bonus: technical fluency strong enough to make small AI-assisted UI changes yourself, with engineering review
