Product Manager

ABOUT YOU & THE ROLE

Our mission at Synera is to redefine how engineers work - making automation and AI co-workers a natural part of product development. As a Product Manager, you'll shape how next-generation engineering teams design, automate, and collaborate. You won't just build software, you'll help build the future of how software builds hardware.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

At Synera, we build empowered product teams: cross-functional groups of Product Managers, Designers, Engineers, and AI Experts who own outcomes, not outputs. We don't run a feature factory. We trust our teams to discover the most impactful problems and deliver solutions that customers love and the business values.

As a discovery-led Product Manager, you'll collaborate closely with UX, Engineering, and AI to shape customer outcomes - not just ship features. You'll regularly engage with leading customers such as BMW, NASA, and Miele to uncover their needs and pain points, guiding our R&D efforts to create products that truly make a difference.

You'll join Bohdan, Dima, Fabian, Rieke, Salar, Sven and Thorsten - together known as the Chaotic Chimeras - a cross-functional product team pioneering how engineers build products for the future. They are the minds behind Synera Run, our web-based execution platform, that is unified with our low-code desktop editor and customer portal to craft one seamless, powerful experience.

By joining us, you'll help turn our bold product vision into repeatable customer value, shaping the future of engineering with Synera.

Your main focus areas:

• You lead discovery and validation by engaging with internal stakeholders (e.g. Customer Success, Sales) and directly with customers to uncover user needs and pain points.

• You collaborate with the Chimeras - our development team of product, design, and engineering experts - to translate insights into impactful product decisions.

• You join the usual rituals such as daily standups, review meetings and retros. You clarify scope and customer value during the implementation.

• You frame hypotheses and define measurable product outcomes, such as streamlining customer onboarding or increasing node adoption.

• You own a problem space, not a backlog: you deeply understand users, map opportunities, and co-create strategy with design and engineering.

• You continuously prioritize and refine opportunities with your team, balancing customer value, technical feasibility, and business impact.

• You align with leadership on product goals and success metrics (e.g. adoption, retention, conversion) to ensure meaningful, outcome-driven progress.

In 6 months: 

• You have a clear understanding of our platform, customers, and workflows.

• You independently run at least one end-to-end discovery cycle: identifying user pain points, validating hypotheses, and sharing insights that shape roadmap priorities.

• You ship one initiative that measurably improves customer experience or activation (e.g. increases activation rate, reduces onboarding time).

In 12 months: 

• You own a core product area and deliver measurable business or user impact (e.g. retention).

• You establish a healthy, predictable discovery–delivery rhythm with your team: balancing learning, experimentation, and shipping.

• You are recognized internally as a key voice in product strategy and prioritization, actively shaping discussions on where to invest for customer and business impact.
