Job detail for Founding Product Manager @ handly - 20VC backed

handly is an early stage, VC backed company building an AI first operating system for craft businesses. We recently raised €3.75m from 20VC, Stride and Base10 and are building a small, performant team with high ownership and high trust.
We are looking for a Product Manager who wants real responsibility: shaping product direction, making decisions with imperfect information, shipping themselves and working hands on with engineering to ship fast and learn faster. This is not a process heavy PM role. It is a builder role.
Aufgaben

Own product direction end to end, from understanding user problems to shaping solutions and shipping them
Translate company goals into clear product bets, priorities, and tradeoffs
Work very closely with engineering to scope, design and ship features and iterate quickly
Build test data sets, write eval criteria & own the outputs of the product
Make product decisions with incomplete data and course correct when needed
Develop a deep understanding of users, workflows, and real world constraints
Bring clarity to the team on what we are building, why, and what done means
Help shape how product work happens at handly as we scale

Qualifikation
This role is about how you work , not just where you worked.
You should strongly identify with most of the following:

High agency. You take ownership, push things forward, and do not wait for permission
AI native mindset. You actively use AI tools and think in AI first product patterns
Strong technical understanding and ability to reason about systems and constraints
Good product taste and a clear opinion on what makes a product great
You care about UX and details, even if you are not a trained designer
Comfortable making decisions with imperfect or incomplete information
Comfortable being wrong and correcting course quickly
Experience in fast paced, early stage environments
Side projects or things you have built on your own are a strong plus

Language requirement

Fluent German (spoken and written). The product interface is fully in German and most of our partners communicate exclusively in German.
Fluent English for internal communication.

We care more about how you think and act than years of PM experience.
Benefits
In-office daily: Berlin-Mitte, modern light-filled workspace with a large balcony

Velocity: fast loops, direct feedback, no management layers
Growth: as much responsibility as you can handle
Team: tight, ambitious group that enjoys building hard things together

Practical discussion around product thinking and collaboration with Kais
On site session with Kais , Basti , Mauro and Alain . Whiteboarding, product and culture focus (half day)
