## Job description

### ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a founding PM role at a seed-stage B2B SaaS company building software and back-office services for trades and home services SMBs. You'll own product direction end-to-end — from surfacing user problems to shipping solutions — as the first dedicated PM on a small, high-velocity team. The role sits at the heart of the company and has a direct line to shaping how product work scales from day one.

### WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own the full product lifecycle: problem discovery, prioritisation, scoping, and shipping.

- Translate company goals into clear product bets, priorities, and tradeoffs.

- Work hands-on with engineering to scope, design, and iterate on features quickly.

- Make product decisions under uncertainty and course-correct fast when needed.

- Develop deep understanding of user workflows and real-world operational constraints.

- Bring clarity to the team on what is being built, why, and what "done" looks like.

- Help define how product work is done as the company grows.

- Operate in a low-ceremony, high-feedback, fast-loop environment with daily in-office presence.

### WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Demonstrated end-to-end product ownership in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment.

- Experience building products for crafts, trades, or home services SMBs is a strong plus.

- AI-native mindset — comfortable applying AI-first product patterns and using AI tools in day-to-day product development.

- Strong technical understanding and the ability to reason about systems, constraints, and engineering tradeoffs.

- Good product taste and a sharp eye for UX details.

- High agency: you take ownership, move things forward, and do not wait for permission.

- Comfortable with ambiguity, imperfect data, and rapid course correction.

- Fluent in both German (spoken and written) and English — both are required for this role.

- Side projects or personal builds are a meaningful plus.

### COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Salary range: €80,000 – €100,000 per year. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

### LOCATION

On-site, five days a week in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.

**Live in Clera’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
