• Evaluate new product opportunities based on customer value, feasibility, and commercial impact.
• Act as the strategic interface between customers, sales, service, and development teams.
• Shape product vision, positioning, and go-to-market strategy.
• Guide cross-functional teams across the product lifecycle, from concept to launch.
• Validate solutions through prototypes, MVPs, and pilot customer engagements.
• Support commercialization, product launches, and internal enablement activities.
• Contribute to improved product performance and more efficient commissioning and start-up processes.

Required Qualifications

• Degree in a technical discipline (e.g. engineering, computer science) or equivalent professional experience.
• Several years of experience managing complex B2B software products, ideally in warehouse automation, industrial systems, or similar technology-driven environments.
• Strong understanding of software development practices, including architecture, agile methods, and release planning.
• Market- and customer-driven mindset with the ability to translate real-world challenges into scalable solutions.
• Experience evaluating business cases, MVPs, and proof-of-concept initiatives.
• Confident communicator, comfortable working with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
• Very good English and German skills; additional languages are an advantage.
• Willingness to travel internationally on a limited basis.
