You'll define the vision and roadmap, align it with user insights and business goals, and drive discovery, delivery, and iteration. Working closely with founders and senior stakeholders, you will lead the development, launch, and scale-up of new features and products, while using data and market signals to steer optimization.

Execution & Delivery

  • Drive the development and on-time launch of new features and products with high quality.
  • Set up and own product rituals (planning , reviews, decision logs) and ensure continuous iteration based on feedback and metrics.
  • Proactively identify risks, manage dependencies, and keep everyone aligned.

Analytics & Optimization

  • Define success metrics, instrument analytics, and analyze product performance to identify improvement levers.
  • Conduct and support on market and competitor analysis to inform product decisions and positioning.
  • Engage on customer research and user testing to validate features and improve attractiveness and conversion.

AI & Technical Advocacy

  • Maintain a strong working understanding of AI concepts (LLMs/agentic workflows) and how they apply to the product's core functionality, ensuring effective collaboration with technical teams.
  • Champion the product's AI value proposition internally and externally, articulating how our solution addresses industry-specific challenges within a regulated environment.


Your Qualifications:
  • 5–8+ years of experience in product management, including ownership of a product area from concept to scale; FinTech/InsurTech or other regulated domains is a plus.
  • Proven track record of shipping impactful products, setting roadmaps/OKRs, and driving measurable outcomes.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; comfortable making decisions with data and trade-offs under ambiguity.
  • Technical fluency working with APIs/integrations and data/ML teams; you can go deep enough to make good product calls.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including with enterprise customers.
  • Self-motivated, hands-on, and adaptable, with a genuine passion for innovation and startups; experience mentoring juniors is a plus.
  • Fluency in English and German is required; other European languages are a plus.
