Product Manager

Position: Product Manager
Experience: 7+ years
Employment type: 12-month contract, remote working

Working hours: 2pm-10pm CET (in line with the US Team)

About the Role

We're looking for a Product Manager with proven experience in startups and AI-driven product environments. This is not a role for someone who thrives only in structured, highly procedural settings - it's for someone who enjoys the pace, ambiguity, and creativity of building products in a startup.

You'll operate in two modes:

1. Execution mode - moving products into live pilots with customers, gathering feedback, iterating quickly, and ensuring we're always learning.
2. Exploration mode - working with the team, with an R&D lens, asking: What should we be building next?

You'll work closely with clients, engineers, and leadership to prioritize, experiment, and deliver. This role is highly collaborative, AI-forward, and requires someone who is energized by change, adaptability, and autonomy.

Responsibilities

• Drive product pilots from concept through to live customer feedback loops.
• Collaborate with clients to shape product improvements and discover unmet needs.
• Maintain a forward-looking R&D perspective, exploring emerging AI opportunities within the industry space
• Translate customer insights into actionable product decisions.
• Balance short-term delivery with long-term vision.
• Communicate clearly across teams and with clients, ensuring alignment.
• Work autonomously with a positive, flexible mindset.

What We're Looking For

• Experience in AI-driven environments, with a strong grasp of how AI can shape products and workflows.
• Proven track record in startups, ideally having scaled products in fast-changing contexts.
• Ability to thrive in ambiguity and make progress without rigid processes.
• Comfortable engaging directly with clients - listening, iterating, and adapting.
• Strong communication skills and collaborative spirit.
• Positive, proactive mindset with a passion for building impactful products.
