We are looking for a… Senior Product Manager to lead the development of a simple, CMS-driven user funnel in a digital platform project with multiple user groups. You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders, designers, engineers, and end-users to define and deliver a lean MVP focused on document workflows and clear user experiences. This is a remote-first position, but fluent German language skills are a must due to direct involvement with German-speaking stakeholders.
In this role, you will…
Project Initiation and Alignment:
- Lead the initial scoping phase through structured workshops to align expectations, define requirements, and shape the MVP scope and timeline.
- Translate diverse user needs into a clear product strategy and roadmap focused on simplicity, clarity, and maintainability.
- Define structured funnel logic and user flows tailored to multiple user types (e.g., internal teams, partners, third-party institutions).
Product Management and Delivery:
- Own the product roadmap from concept to delivery, ensuring focus on essential functionalities while managing scope and resources efficiently.
- Write detailed user stories, epics, and acceptance criteria to guide development teams.
- Prioritize features to support a lean MVP approach, emphasizing manual processes where automation is not yet necessary.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Collaborate with designers, developers, and marketing to ensure a cohesive and functional product experience.
- Work with engineers to implement a headless CMS (e.g., Contentful or Strapi), deploy on cloud infrastructure (e.g., Azure), and integrate tracking tools like Amplitude for usage analytics.
- Support branding and KPI definition in collaboration with marketing teams.
Stakeholder Management:
- Act as the main point of contact for German-speaking clients and internal stakeholders throughout the project.
- Communicate scope, priorities, and progress clearly and regularly, managing changing needs with structure and transparency.
- Provide ongoing support in defining processes and decision-making frameworks beyond the technical build.
Workshops and Facilitation:
- Conduct requirement workshops with diverse user groups to map permissions (e.g., document upload vs. view-only access).
- Ensure functional clarity on document management needs, folder structures, templates, and access rights.
- Focus on enabling a streamlined and intuitive setup, while planning for potential future expansion (e.g., automation, integrations).
We’re looking for someone with…
- Strong experience in digital product management, ideally in a consultancy, agency, or fast-paced delivery environment.
- Hands-on experience building CMS-based platforms with clear funnel logic and access-based document handling.
- Familiarity with tools like Contentful, Strapi, Azure, Amplitude, or similar technologies.
- A pragmatic and structured approach to scoping MVPs with limited budgets and short timelines.
- Experience working with multi-stakeholder environments—ideally including public sector, nonprofit, or industry-specific contexts such as renewable energy (a plus).
- Fluency in German (C1 or higher) and excellent communication skills to interface confidently with clients and teams.
- Deep understanding of agile methodologies and the ability to lead cross-functional collaboration.
