Senior Product Manager (m/w/d)

Benefits

Additional Information

Our ambition is radical: rebuild the 1tn $ tax & accounting industry from the ground up - globally, in the age of AI. Faster, simpler, fully transparent for clients and advisors. While incumbents drown in manual processes, opaque communication and weeks-long turnaround times, we are shipping a fundamentally new experience: digital, proactive, AI-native. We are an experienced founding team of firm operators and entrepreneurs with a track record of scaling businesses past 100m+ in revenue and €100M+ exits. We are looking for ambitious people who want to build the leading advisory firm globally - with us, from day one. Aufgaben Ship AI Features That Move Numbers: You own AI features end-to-end - document recognition, classification, auto-drafting of tax responses, RAG over client files. You build the eval frameworks, run the prompt iterations, and make the build-vs-buy calls on models and tooling. No hand-offs, no excuses. Get Obsessed With the User: You run discovery the hard way: interviews, shadowing sessions, raw feedback synthesis. You go deep enough to tell real problems from assumed ones - and become the sharpest voice for the user inside your product line. Own the Roadmap, Defend Trade-Offs: You own your product line's roadmap end-to-end. Prioritization across business value, technical feasibility, and regulatory fit. You communicate trade-offs sharply to Engineering, Tax Advisory, and Founders - and you defend your calls with data. Hold the Bar on Design: You set a high visual bar and protect it. Figma fluency at the review-and-sketch level: you draft flows, critique components, push back on anything that doesn't meet the standard. The best tax UX is invisible - make ours invisible. Run on Data, Not Vibes: You define the KPIs that matter - Time-to-Filing, automation rate, client satisfaction, advisor efficiency - and you steer every iteration from dashboards. Gut feel doesn't ship features here. Push the AI Frontier: You don't follow the AI conversation - you drive it. Evals, prompt iteration, cost/quality trade-offs in production. You experiment relentlessly with what's possible and bring the edge into the product. Be the Connective Tissue: You sit between Engineering, Tax Advisory, and Clients and make the org work faster because of it. First-principles thinking Qualifikation Product Experience: 3-6 years in product management in B2B SaaS, FinTech, Finance, Tax, or a comparably complex environment. You can point to features you owned from vision to measurable impact - not features you helped with. AI Track Record: At least one AI/LLM feature shipped in production - with real evals, prompt iteration, and ownership of cost/quality trade-offs. Solid grasp of modern LLM stacks: RAG, prompt engineering, fine-tuning vs. in-context learning, vector stores. ChatGPT prompts don't count - we want AI-native workflows you actually built. Client Empathy That Translates: Genuine empathy for both sides - the advisor under deadline pressure and the client who just wants certainty - and the discipline to turn that empathy into product decisions, not backlog items. Eye for Design: Figma fluency at the sketch-and-review level. Strong opinions on what good UI looks like and zero tolerance for sloppy interfaces. Excitement for Claude Design is a plus. AI Enthusiasm: You use AI products daily, you critique them publicly or privately, and you have sharp views on where they're going. Hands-on familiarity with Claude Cowork/Design/Code, GPT, Gemini or similar is the baseline. Self-Implementation: You don't wait to be unblocked. You prototype, test prompts, wire up integrations, hack together what's needed. If it's blocked, you unblock it. Structured Thinking: MECE, first principles, hypothesis-driven. You compress ambiguity into clear decisions - not into more slide decks. Communication: Excellent English (C2). German is a strong plus. Domain Background: Experience in Finance, Tax, Accounting, or adjacent domains is a strong plus - as is familiarity with accounting/finance software stacks, DATEV, ELSTER, or regulated data workflows.
