## Job description

### About the Role

This is a founding PM role at a seed-stage B2B SaaS company building software and back-office services for trades and home services SMBs. You'll own product direction end-to-end — from surfacing user problems to shipping solutions — as the first dedicated PM on a small, high-velocity team. The role sits at the heart of the company and has a direct line to shaping how product work scales from day one.

### What You'll Do

* Own the full product lifecycle: problem discovery, prioritisation, scoping, and shipping.
* Translate company goals into clear product bets, priorities, and tradeoffs.
* Work hands-on with engineering to scope, design, and iterate on features quickly.
* Make product decisions under uncertainty and course-correct fast when needed.
* Develop deep understanding of user workflows and real-world operational constraints.
* Bring clarity to the team on what is being built, why, and what "done" looks like.
* Help define how product work is done as the company grows.
* Operate in a low-ceremony, high-feedback, fast-loop environment with daily in-office presence.

### What We're Looking For

* Demonstrated end-to-end product ownership in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment.
* Experience building products for crafts, trades, or home services SMBs is a strong plus.
* AI-native mindset — comfortable applying AI-first product patterns and using AI tools in day-to-day product development.
* Strong technical understanding and the ability to reason about systems, constraints, and engineering tradeoffs.
* Good product taste and a sharp eye for UX details.
* High agency: you take ownership, move things forward, and do not wait for permission.
* Comfortable with ambiguity, imperfect data, and rapid course correction.
* Fluent in both German (spoken and written) and English — both are required for this role.
* Side projects or personal builds are a meaningful plus.

### Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: **€80,000 – €100,000** per year. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

### Location

On-site, five days a week in **Berlin-Mitte, Germany**.
