• Collaborating closely with Product Design and Solution Architecture to align product, design, and technical decisions.
• Establishing continuous learning cycles, using customer feedback, product usage data, and business KPIs to guide ongoing development.
• Ensuring the product evolves to meet enterprise requirements, including security, compliance, and integration standards.

• You have hands-on experience with AI tools, AI-assisted workflows, or multi-agent setups, and you are eager to integrate AI agents as a core part of your working method.
• You bring several  years of experience in product ownership or product management for software products, ideally with proven success in 0-to-1 product development within a startup or corporate venture environment.
• You are skilled at leading discovery, from hypothesis formulation and user research design to validation frameworks and synthesizing qualitative insights, and you routinely translate research into actionable outcomes.
• You have experience building and presenting business cases for product investments, and you demonstrate entrepreneurial drive and strong commercial thinking.
• You are adept at commissioning and managing external UX research agencies or partners, and you thrive in cross-functional collaboration.
• You understand enterprise requirements, including integration, security, procurement expectations, and you can create clarity and direction even when facing uncertainty.
• You embrace an AI-first working mindset and structured thinking.
• You are fluent in English; German is a plus.
