This is your opportunity to own a real product at a company building something genuinely new. As our Senior Product Manager, you join a small, senior product team at a stage where one person's judgment visibly shapes the product.
You will own product topics end to end: understanding the customer, deciding what is worth building and why, shaping the concept, and seeing it through to a shipped result that delivers value. You do this for your own set of topics, alongside our Director Product Management and our CPO, who both work hands-on. You start by owning the flow of customer requests and insights, the fastest way to learn our product and our customers, and grow over the first 6 to 12 months into owning whole product areas with the same autonomy. You develop the product; our
engineers build it.
We are building a product in a new category, so there is no playbook to copy. The work is genuinely conceptual: understand how digital B2B products work, understand our users' problems, and invent viable solutions. Our engineering team works closely and continuously with product, no throwing specs over a wall, and most of that collaboration happens remotely.
If you want real ownership, the influence to shape a product from an early stage, and the discipline of a spec-driven, high-bar team, this is the right moment to join.
-
Own a set of product topics end to end, from the customer problem through to a shipped result that delivers real value
-
Decide what is worth building and in what order for your topics, shape the concept, and drive it through delivery together with engineering
-
Run discovery with customers to understand what they actually need, test your assumptions rather than building on guesses, and turn what you learn into clear product decisions
-
Own the flow of customer requests and insights: make sense of what customers are asking for, decide what it means for the product, route it to the right place, and turn a stream of raw input into clear product direction
-
Translate real problems into clear, well-scoped, buildable definitions, working spec-driven (currently with OpenSpec) at a high bar
-
Invent viable product concepts in a category with no existing product to copy
-
Shape the UX and UI together with engineering, based on the existing product and the component library - we have no dedicated designer in the team
-
Work hand in hand with our remote engineering team throughout the build rather than through handover: analyse a solution for gaps and edge cases before it is built, using AI where it helps, and after shipping, check whether the outcome delivered its intended value and works for users
-
A track record of owning B2B SaaS products end to end, from customer problem to shipped outcome, with real accountability for whether they delivered value
-
A genuine understanding of how digital B2B products work, and the ability to invent viable concepts rather than copy existing patterns
-
Strong requirements and scoping judgment: you make vague problems complete, unambiguous and correctly scoped, and you know what to leave out
-
A structured, process-driven way of working, paired with genuine comfort in a fast, unstructured startup environment
-
Fluent, daily use of AI tools (Claude or equivalent) as a normal part of how you think, write specs and
analyse problems, since we're an AI-first team and expect the same of you. -
Experience working in a spec-driven environment (OpenSpec or similar); turning fuzzy intent into rigorous, complete, buildable definition is second nature to you
-
Data-model fluency: you reason comfortably about entities and how they relate, enough to break problems down and hold a real bar with engineering
-
Technical fluency: not afraid of a terminal, and able to reason about data flows, system constraints, and how an agentic product behaves
-
Proven experience collaborating closely with a remote engineering team
-
Fluent in English; professional German is a strong plus given our customers
-
Remote-first setup, Europe-based so we stay reasonably timezone-aligned, with access to our Munich office and backyard workspace
-
Flexible working hours and a "take what you need" vacation policy
-
Direct collaboration with our Director Product Management and CPO, and real ownership of your own product areas
-
Competitive salary plus virtual ESOP, so you grow with us
-
A team of motivated, kind, and inspiring colleagues
-
A role in a growing SaaS company in the Data & AI space, joining at the ideal moment to make a lasting impact
-
Regular team events and some friendly Spikeball or Table Tennis matches
-
Experience in the Data, Analytics, or AI space
-
Experience with AI or agentic products
-
Experience building in a new or emerging product category
-
Experience working in a remote-first team
-
Curiosity for technology and innovation
-
Strong Spikeball or Table Tennis skills (our signature Mindfuel games)
Mindfuel was founded on a simple idea: data and AI initiatives don’t fail because of technology – they fail because of poor strategic alignment, unclear value, and unstructured management. We’ve seen how even the most promising use cases get stuck in backlogs, spread across slides, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems, as well as duplicated effort because of a lack of transparency.
At Mindfuel, we believe that data and AI teams should be able to demonstrate measurable business value from their initiatives and not act as reactive service providers with no clear impact. So we built a platform designed to help them manage their portfolio with purpose. Managing AI shouldn’t require ad hoc workflows or only responding to the loudest voice in the room. Teams need a better way to intake, prioritize, and track use cases – one that puts business value front and center.
Our mission is to enable enterprises to be structured, transparent, and focused on outcomes by enabling them to collect and prioritize high-value initiatives, align and communicate with stakeholders, and demonstrate business impact. By replacing fragmented tools and manual processes with a single source of truth, connecting all use cases and data products, we empower data teams to manage their portfolio with clarity, efficiency, and strategic focus from day one.
Headquartered in Munich and serving enterprise clients globally, Mindfuel is on a mission to help organizations get more out of their data and AI investments – not by scaling effort, but by scaling focus.
