About the Role

This is a founding-level product role at a seed-stage B2B SaaS company building AI-powered tools that help sales teams work smarter — automating note-taking, CRM updates, meeting preparation, and conversation intelligence, all in a GDPR-compliant, privacy-first way. The product spans Web, Desktop, and Mobile.

As the Founding Product Manager, you'll partner directly with the CTPO and leadership team to shape product vision and build a scalable, high-quality product organization from the ground up. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role that blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

What You'll Do

  • Shape Product Vision & Strategy: Co-own the product roadmap and long-term vision alongside the CTPO, ensuring alignment across engineering, design, and executive stakeholders.

  • Own Product Discovery & Delivery: Drive the full product lifecycle end-to-end — from user research and ideation through delivery, launch, and iteration.

  • Build AI-First & Agentic Experiences: Lead the design and delivery of AI-powered and agentic product features that create real, measurable value for users.

  • Drive Cross-Platform Coherence: Ensure a consistent, high-quality product experience across Web, Desktop, and Mobile surfaces.

  • Build Product Processes & Level Up the Org: Establish best-in-class product processes, define success metrics and KPIs, and help grow the product function as the company scales.

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • 3+ years of experience as a Product Manager, with a focus on technically complex, engineering-heavy products

  • Proven track record delivering AI-powered features or products, including managing the AI product lifecycle

  • Experience as a Founding or Lead PM, with demonstrated ability to align cross-functional teams (engineering, design, executives)

  • End-to-end ownership of products from discovery through delivery and iteration

  • Strong data-driven decision-making with well-defined success metrics and KPIs

  • Strong technical fundamentals — either through a technical education background or hands-on engineering experience

  • Fluency in German is required

Nice to Have:

  • Background as a software engineer or in a technical role prior to transitioning to product management

  • Experience in B2B SaaS, sales tech, or conversation intelligence

  • Familiarity with CRM ecosystems and integrations

Location

  • On-site in Munich, Germany

  • Visa sponsorship is available
