Senior Product Manager

Senior Product Manager

Join to apply for the Senior Product Manager role at MVP Factory.

Join us to lead client projects in a service‑driven environment, ensuring high‑quality delivery across discovery, planning, and execution phases. You’ll work independently, managing teams and stakeholders with confidence, and taking ownership of outcomes from day one.

Responsibilities

• Own client engagements end to end, from initial scoping and building the right team to delivery and post‑launch review.
• Plan and lead workshops to shape goals, scope, and roadmaps in collaboration with client stakeholders.
• Turn strategic goals into clear delivery plans that balance feasibility, transparency, and measurable outcomes.

Product & Delivery Management

• Break down roadmaps into clear epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional/non‑functional requirements, anchored in user needs.
• Set up and guide delivery teams, ensuring a shared understanding of priorities, user value, and success metrics.
• Track progress against scope, budget, and timeline, while spotting and addressing blockers before they become risks.

Stakeholder Management

• Act as the main point of contact for clients, ensuring transparency, trust, and aligned expectations throughout the project.
• Communicate proposals, technical topics, and progress updates in a clear and engaging way that connects to business needs and is easy to understand.
• Adapt to changing requirements while keeping delivery focused on creating business value.

Cross‑functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with designers and engineering leads to integrate usability and feasibility into user journeys, making sure the product vision is both user‑centered and technically achievable.
• Partner with engineers in day‑to‑day work to ensure smooth integration, efficient delivery, and ongoing alignment between design and implementation.
• Foster a culture of open communication and shared accountability within the team.

Ways of Working & Continuous Improvement

• Use agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid) to structure work effectively and adaptively, creating enough process to support client‑facing environments.
• Encourage open exchange with the team, noticing when someone is stuck and removing blockers early so delivery stays smooth.
• Gather feedback from clients and users to keep improving both the product and the way of working.

Requirements

• Proven experience managing digital product or platform initiatives, ideally from a consulting, agency, or service‑led environment.
• Strong client‑facing skills with the ability to build trusted relationships quickly.
• Experience scoping and leading projects end‑to‑end, from putting the right team together to balancing budgets and keeping delivery on track.
• A structured yet flexible mindset that navigates complexity and guides teams toward clear outcomes.
• Hands‑on understanding of agile methods and what it truly takes to bring products to life.
• Excellent communication skills, in English (proficient) – German is a plus.
• A hands‑on, pragmatic approach, ready to dive in with the team and get things moving.
• The will to mentor and enable teams, supporting junior and mid‑level colleagues where applicable.
• A passion for cross‑functional teamwork, uniting designers, engineers, and business minds to deliver real impact.

Nice to have

• Experience working across different industries or domains, bringing fresh perspectives to each project.
• Familiarity with common product frameworks (e.g., JTBD, Lean Canvas, Double Diamond) and knowing when to apply them.
• Experience collaborating in remote‑first teams and making distributed teamwork run smoothly.
