Product management at Idealdevs is closer to field surgery than backlog administration. You will lead discovery sprints, user interviews, technical audits, stakeholder alignment, that decide whether and how projects proceed, then stay with the engagement as its product owner: writing the narrative, shaping releases, and holding the line between what the client asks for and what their users need. Our PMs are outnumbered by engineers ten to one, which is exactly why the role carries weight: you are the instrument that keeps ten senior engineers aimed correctly.
You will run one or two engagements at a time, typically B2B platforms in logistics, fintech, or healthcare, working hybrid from the Berlin office with regular travel to client sites (a few days per month, mostly within Europe). You report to the COO and work daily with principal engineers and designers who will challenge your reasoning and expect you to challenge theirs.
What you'll do
- Plan and lead discovery sprints: interview programs, workshop facilitation, and findings synthesis
- Own product direction on client engagements, outcomes, roadmap, and release narrative
- Translate business goals into measurable product metrics and hold releases accountable to them
- Run stakeholder alignment across client executives, users, and the delivery squad
- Write crisp product documents: briefs, decision records, and release notes leadership actually reads
- Feed engagement learnings back into how Idealdevs runs discovery and delivery
What we're looking for
- 5+ years of product management experience on B2B or platform products with shipped outcomes
- Demonstrated experience running user research and turning it into product decisions
- Enough technical depth to discuss APIs, data models, and trade-offs credibly with senior engineers
- Strong facilitation skills, you can run a room of executives with conflicting agendas
- Outstanding written English; our product culture runs on documents, not decks
- Willingness to travel to client sites several days per month
Nice to have
- Prior consulting, agency, or client-services experience
- Experience with regulated industries and their constraint sets
- Familiarity with continuous-discovery practices and experiment design
- German language skills
