Overview
Senior Product Manager to act as mini-CEO of the distinct product area with direct P&L responsibility and end-to-end ownership of revenue performance, product strategy, and go-to-market execution. This isn’t a traditional product role – you’ll drive commercial outcomes while building exceptional products at the intersection of product, sales, marketing, and analytics.
What You'll Own
Revenue & Commercial Performance
* Direct P&L accountability for your product area with measurable revenue targets
* End-to-end funnel optimization from top-of-funnel awareness through conversion and retention
* Monetization strategy including pricing models, packaging, and new revenue streams
* Go-to-market execution working closely with sales and marketing to drive adoption
Product Strategy & Development
* Product roadmap and prioritization based on validated market demand and revenue impact
* Cross-functional leadership of engineering teams (typically 4-6 engineers), providing clear business context and requirements
* Market validation using fake door tests, A/B experiments, customer interviews, and data analysis
* Feature specification that translates business goals into technical requirements
Market Intelligence & Growth
* Customer research and insights to identify unmet needs and expansion opportunities
* Competitive analysis and market positioning to maintain differentiation
* Partnership and channel development to accelerate growth
* Sales enablement including value messaging, competitive positioning, and sales tool development
How You'll Work
Demand-First Approach: You validate before you build. Whether it's a fake door test for a new feature or direct customer interviews for pricing changes, you invest development resources only where real demand exists.
Startup Mentality: You create momentum across the organization, align stakeholders around shared goals, and foster a culture where everyone understands "the cause" and their role in achieving it.
Data-Driven Decision Making: You leverage analytics, user research, and market data to inform every major decision, from feature prioritization to pricing strategy.
Qualifications
What will you bring to the ride?
* Proven commercial focus: hands-on experience working on revenue growth, sales enablement, pricing or monetization strategies. You think in terms of P&L and understand costs and benefits.
* Customer-centric mindset: you’re not afraid to pick up the phone to talk to customers, test assumptions, and validate insights directly.
* Data fluency: you can dig into SQL or similar tools to uncover insights, run funnel analysis, or conduct lightweight market research.
* Leadership and influence: you know how to align and inspire cross-functional teams (engineers, marketers, analysts, sales) towards a shared vision.
* Agile collaboration: you’ve worked with engineering teams in Agile setups, providing the “why” and “what” with clarity.
* Entrepreneurial drive: you act like an owner, comfortable experimenting, iterating, and learning fast.
* Language: fluent German and English is a must.
* Experience: 5+ years as a Product Manager or in a similar commercially-oriented role.
Big pluses are:
* Background in marketplaces, SaaS, or subscription-based models
* Experience in sales enablement, telesales, or self-service product channels
* Understanding of real estate, finance, or adjacent industries
What do we offer?
* 6 weeks of holidays (with the possibility to buy up to 10 additional days)
* 40-hour week
* 18 weeks of maternity leave and 6 weeks of paternity leave (also applies in cases of adoption)
* Flexible working arrangements and strong emphasis on work-life balance
