About the Role

A well-funded, Y Combinator-backed B2B SaaS startup in the AI-powered quote and order automation space is hiring its first Product Manager. This is a high-impact founding role where you will own the what and why behind an AI-first product, working directly with the CPO and engineering team to turn customer pain points into intuitive, high-adoption solutions. You will shape core workflows, define product direction, and drive measurable time savings for customers in industrial distribution and manufacturing sectors.

What You'll Do

  • Own the full product development cycle from discovery through rollout, with a focus on customer adoption and efficiency gains.

  • Engage directly with customers to understand their problems and synthesize feedback from customers, internal teams, and the market.

  • Define and validate product hypotheses with customers; build rapid prototypes to test ideas quickly.

  • Translate customer insights into clear requirements and intuitive, AI-first product experiences designed for non-technical users.

  • Prioritize, scope, and ship new features in close collaboration with engineering and design.

  • Create and maintain product documentation, release notes, and training content to help customers get maximum value from new features.

  • Make complex B2B workflows effortless through thoughtful, iterative product decisions.

What We're Looking For

  • 2–5 years of experience in product management or product design, with a strong track record delivering AI-first, complex B2B SaaS products.

  • Demonstrated ability to speak directly with customers and turn messy, qualitative feedback into crisp product requirements.

  • Proficiency with modern AI tools (e.g., Lovable, Cursor, Claude) and prototyping tools such as Figma.

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment with a builder's mindset.

  • Familiarity with code (React, TypeScript, Python) to prototype independently or collaborate closely with engineers — a strong plus.

  • Domain knowledge of AI-enabled software for technical suppliers or distributors in construction, HVAC, electrical, or related industrial sectors — a plus.

  • Fluent in both German and English (required).

  • Based in Munich or willing to relocate for on-site work (required). No visa sponsorship available.

Location & Work Arrangement

This role is fully on-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Candidates must be based in Munich or willing to relocate. Visa sponsorship is not available.
