- Product Strategy and Vision: You define and articulate the long-term product strategy and vision for your product area, aligning it with the overall business goals and define product roadmaps that drive customer satisfaction and business success.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: You collaborate closely with design and engineering teams. You provide guidance and support, resolve conflicts, and facilitate collaboration to ensure the product's timely and successful launch.
- Product Discovery: You don’t get carried away by the volume of stakeholder requirements and complexities. You dive deep into your area in collaboration with your business stakeholders, identify the underlying problem, link the user and the system perspective, and derive scalable simple solutions.
- Product Planning and Execution: You are not scared of planning and progress tracking. You develop and maintain detailed product plans, including feature prioritization, release schedules, and resource allocation. You work with engineering teams to define technical requirements, scope projects, and track progress. You are responsible for driving the execution of the product roadmap, ensuring alignment with business objectives and customer expectations.
- Product performance: A product is not done with its delivery. You monitor and evaluate product performance, iterate on the product roadmap, and drive product success through effective launch and adoption strategies.
- Stakeholder Management: You engage with internal and stakeholders to provide updates on product strategies, roadmap progress, and business impact. You effectively communicate complex concepts and trade-offs, build consensus, and influence decision-making.
- You have 5+ years of experience in product management of complex products in a fast-paced and ambiguous environment. And you have loved every minute of it.
- You have strong analytical skills and the ability to dive deep to get to the best solution. You can break down complex processes and create simple solutions around explicit business requirements.
- You strive the right balance between defending your plans and adapting to new circumstances. Change doesn’t scare you.
- You have a track record of delivering complex products, defining iterations and aligning roll-outs with stakeholders.
- You follow a data driven approach, KPIs are in your DNA and you are constantly iterating on and improving your product.
- You possess strong stakeholder management skills to effectively communicate and align with these cross-functional teams.
- You can inspire and influence teams, facilitate collaboration, and build consensus among diverse stakeholders. You possess excellent communication skills in German and English to articulate the product vision, gain support, and drive alignment with business objectives.
- Ideally you have experience with ERP systems and hybrid customer groups.
- Shape your career: Rapid growth opens many new opportunities for you. Tell us about your dream career and we'll help you make it happen.
- Work from wherever you want …: Modern tools and video meetings make it possible: with IU, the boundaries between here and there blur. You want to work from abroad for a while? No problem thanks to our WorkFlex benefits.
- … and flexible time: It's your job: We trust you and give you the greatest possible freedom to organize yourself.
- You have the choice: You are free to choose your equipment, because everyone has its own preferences when it comes to hardware.
- Take your knowledge to a new level: Benefit from a 100% discount on tuition fees for an IU combined degree in the tech sector and many other free training courses. There is always something new to learn.
- Get a good rest: we push ourselves every day to go above and beyond. But we also take the time to recharge our batteries: with 30 days of annual vacation for all employees. Need some time off? How about a sabbatical?
