Product Manager

About the CompanyWe'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 RoleThis 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 DoSpend real time with customers, on calls, on site and inside their workflows, and become the person in the company who understands them bestOwn the product roadmap end-to-end, balancing technical feasibility, commercial priorities and customer needsGet deep into complex industrial procurement workflows: multi-departmental ordering, negotiation processes and real-world operational constraintsTurn what you learn into clear, well-scoped tickets, and work closely with engineering to prioritise and shipMake the calls on what we build and what we don't, and hold the line when founders or engineering push in a different directionGet 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 assumptionsBring a strong sense of usability and design.

There's no dedicated product designer yet, so this is yours to shapeSupport go-to-market, translating new features into clear customer-facing communicationSet up the product function as we grow: process, rituals and, in time, the teamWhat We're Looking ForSignificant product management experience, ideally in B2B SaaS, industrial tech, or AI/analytics, including at least one product or area you owned end-to-endReady 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 itGenuinely customer-driven: you'd rather sit in a warehouse for a day than run another internal workshopExcellent judgment under incomplete information, and the confidence to make prioritisation calls, explain the reasoning, and defend them to founders and engineersComfort with quantitative and technical concepts.

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