Your mission
As our first dedicated Product Manager, you'll take ownership of PartsOS, from discovery through delivery — alongside the founder who's been driving product so far. Based in Berlin, with occasional trips to see customers on site, you'll turn one of industry's most overlooked problems into software factories trust every day. You'll own everything from the customer conversation to the shipped solution, and grow with the product as we scale.
What You’ll Be Working On
- Own product outcomes from discovery through delivery: talk to customers, frame the real problem, decide what we build, and ship it to production.
- Shape the solution end to end, from the customer problem to the interface people actually use, making a complex domain feel simple.
- Get hands-on with the data and the planning logic: query it yourself, understand how our forecasting and optimization models behave, and troubleshoot when something's off.
- Put AI to work on real customer problems. Weave it deep into how spare-parts planning gets done as a core part of the product, not a bolt-on.
- Stay close to our customers, from a world-famous motorsport team to global leaders in industrial automation and packaging, and turn what you learn into roadmap and measurable impact.
Who We’re Looking For
Must-Have
- 3+ years in product management for B2B, enterprise, or technical/data-heavy products, owning outcomes from discovery to delivery.
- Comfortable getting hands-on with data: querying it yourself, understanding how optimization and forecasting models work, and troubleshooting rather than treating the system as a black box.
- Genuinely fluent with AI: you know how to weave it into solving real customer problems, not just how to chat with it.
- A talent for simplification: you turn complex, technical concepts into clear, usable product and can shape that experience yourself.
- A self-starter with customers and ambiguity: you seek out users firsthand and are energized by being the first dedicated PM rather than following a finished playbook.
- Fluent in English.
Great If You Also Bring
- Strong working German: a real plus for getting close to our customers.
- Exposure to ERP, supply chain, manufacturing, or other complex industrial domains.
- Experience in a startup or high-growth environment.
Mindset
- You want real ownership, from the customer problem to what ships in production.
- You love the speed and access of working directly with a founder, and you want to learn at that pace.
- You'd rather build something that ships than polish a finished product from a distance.
- You're not squeamish about a bit of logic and math.
- You prefer working in person over coordinating from a distance.
Not Quite Your Thing?
- You want a tightly scoped backlog handed to you rather than owning the discovery yourself.
- You prefer to stay above the technical detail and treat the optimization as a black box.
- You need a fully remote setup.
- You'd rather work in a large product org with clearly defined swim lanes than be the first PM in a fast-moving team.
- A bit of math and data querying doesn't sound appealing.
Why You’ll Love This Role
- Work shoulder to shoulder with a founder. This is about as close to the action as product gets: fast decisions, no bureaucracy, and the experience of building something real next to the person who started it. You'll learn an enormous amount, fast.
- An office-first culture in Berlin. We believe the best work happens shoulder to shoulder. You'll join a team that values in-person collaboration, fast feedback loops, and the energy of working side by side every day. The occasional home office day is fine but if you're looking for a remote-heavy setup, this isn't the right role.
- Annual team week. Once a year we all come together somewhere inspiring, working, building, and enjoying each other's company.
- Shared success. You'll be part of our Virtual Stock Incentive Plan (VSIP), giving you a real stake in what we're building together.
- A career that grows as fast as we do. In a wide-open category and a company moving this quickly, the ceiling is high. The scope and ownership you take on can grow as fast as the company does.
The Tools You’ll Be Using
You don't need to be an expert in all of these. What matters most is curiosity and speed of learning. We currently use:
- Notion for knowledge, planning, and documentation
- Teamwork to manage projects and priorities
- HubSpot for CRM, pipeline insights, and commercial reporting
- Excel for KPIs, modelling, and analysis
- Outlook & Teams for email and scheduling
- Slack for day-to-day communication and quick collaboration
- Modern AI tools that we use throughout the business and which you'll help us push further
Ready to Be Part of Something Big?
You're at home in a customer conversation, a dataset, an AI workflow, and the guts of how the model behaves, and you're not squeamish about a little math. You want real ownership and love the speed of working directly with a founder. You'd rather build something that ships than polish a finished product from a distance.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. Tell us about a product decision you're proud of and why you made it.
