Product Manager – Operational Excellence

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Germany.

📋 Description

• You align with the product strategy, establish clear objectives and identify problem areas, ensuring transparency and cohesion within the team.

• You engage in ongoing product discovery (research, hypotheses, experiments), prioritize based on customer value, business impact, and risk, and make informed decisions.

• You proactively gather requirements in a structured manner, maintain a value-focused backlog, and collaborate with Engineering, Design, and stakeholders to plan iterative releases.

• You consistently evaluate the team’s workflow and take the initiative to implement process enhancements (e.g., through automation or AI tools).

• You facilitate discussions around problem areas instead of merely addressing solution requests, manage expectations, and ensure that strategy, progress, and risks are clear and traceable.

• You establish KPI targets (focusing on outcomes rather than outputs), ensure impact measurement, and take accountability for the success of your initiatives, including review and adjustments.

⛳️ Requirements

• Several years of experience in product management or a similar role, with a strong focus on discovery, processes, structuring, prioritization, and agile methodologies.

• Excellent structuring and analytical abilities, with the capability to produce high-quality requirements (e.g., PRD, user stories, process documentation/impact measurement).

• Strong technical comprehension: able to navigate complex system logics, APIs, data flows, and technical dependencies—not as a developer, but as a confident liaison between domain and engineering.

• Ability to articulate complex topics clearly, decisively advocate priorities, and facilitate discussions constructively—particularly when addressing conflicting objectives.

• Proficient in utilizing AI to enhance work efficiency and quality, with a willingness to learn new tools and methods.

• Capable of independently implementing and further developing small tools and prototypes.

• Inquisitive and broadly interested in new methods, approaches, and technologies.

• Continuously reflect on and effectively improve your own actions.

• Make data-driven decisions based on hypotheses, take responsibility for outcomes, and work independently and transparently.

• Proficient in both German and English (at least C1 level).
