Senior Product Owner / Manager – AI, SaaS – Native German

Role Overview

• You own the full product lifecycle and report directly to the CEO.
• Act as the central bridge between Sales, Support, integration teams, and external partners on one side, and Product Development on the other.
• Your mission is to elevate our SaaS business and drive its professionalization.
• Collect requirements from Sales, Support, integration teams, and external partners in a structured way, challenge and prioritize them, and translate them into a clear roadmap.
• Raise existing product processes to a higher level of maturity — requirements intake, prioritization, roadmapping, and release communication — making them scalable for further growth.
• Lead and develop the existing Product Owners and teams — refine and sharpen structures rather than reinvent them.
• Actively shape our agentic product data layer: from discovery of new agents through quality assurance to rollout.
• Help professionalize SaaS operations beyond the product itself — billing/pricing, customer onboarding, and the operational processes of a mature SaaS company.
• Work in a data-driven way: define metrics, validate hypotheses, and justify trade-offs transparently (including clearly saying “no”).
• Roll up your sleeves and take hands-on action when something isn’t working, rather than simply delegating.

Requirements

• Native-level German proficiency.
• Several years of experience as a Product Manager in SaaS/B2B, ideally in the scaling phase ("1 to 10") and with hands-on experience building AI products.
• Demonstrable end-to-end ownership of the product lifecycle (discovery through iteration).
• Experience building and professionalizing scalable product processes.
• Experience leading and developing product and engineering teams, ideally distributed and international (in our case: Germany & Vietnam).
• Genuine understanding of and enthusiasm for AI agents, with an instinct for designing products around orchestrated, modular agent systems (interplay, human-in-the-loop, quality assurance, reliability).
• AI tools are firmly embedded in your daily work — you actively shape how product work and software development are fundamentally changing.
• Confident communicator who can operate on equal footing with the CEO and leadership team.
• Nice to have: experience in the e‑commerce ecosystem — webshops (Shopify, Shopware) and marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, otto), including their data requirements.
• Knowledge of product data standards (PIM, BMEcat, ETIM, GS1).
• Technical depth to engage with engineering on an equal footing.
• Experience with ML/LLM products and handling non-determinism and quality assurance.
• Experience with SaaS operations: billing/subscription systems, pricing models, and onboarding flows.
• Experience building partner and integration ecosystems.
• Experience coaching and mentoring Product Owners.
• Comfort with ambiguity and rapid change in a scale-up environment.

Benefits

• A role with real impact — your work will directly influence our growth trajectory.
• A company that decides quickly, communicates transparently, and values ownership.
• Access to cutting-edge technology, including advanced AI tools.
• Ongoing training and professional development — continuous investment, not a one-off perk.
• Team events — remote, on-site, professional, and sometimes social.
• International, supportive colleagues who prioritize solving problems over creating them.
• Flexible working hours and a hybrid setup (on-site and remote).
• A dynamic, fun, and agile environment ideal for collaboration and creativity.
• Additional premium health insurance (for Vietnam location).
• Stress-free and comfortable commute support via Grab sponsorship (Vietnam location).
• Visa and work permit sponsorship to work in Vietnam if required.
