About

About Chrono24: Chrono24 is the world’s leading online marketplace for luxury watches, connecting buyers, sellers, and trusted dealers around the globe. We combine a passion for horology with cutting-edge technology to bring transparency, trust, and efficiency to the watch market.

The role: We’re looking for a Principal Product Manager AI to drive our AI transformation end-to-end. You’ll shape the AI strategy, connect strong in-house data capabilities with real business outcomes, and build platform and product experiences that scale across the marketplace. You will be part of the data team and work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Design, Operations, Growth teams, Legal, and Security to ship AI features that improve customer experience, growth, safety, and operational efficiency.

We believe in the power of diversity. Diversity is our strength. At Chrono24, we embrace diversity because we believe it enriches not only our corporate culture but also our success. Be yourself – and let’s achieve great things together!

What you can expect

• Lead AI strategy and roadmap: Define and own our AI strategy aligned with company goals; identify highest-impact bets for customers and internal workflows and shape road maps accordingly.
• Enablement and culture: Scale AI enablement across the company. Educate teams on AI best practices; run workshops and foster exchange between teams.
• Experimentation and measurement: Set clear success metrics and run robust evaluations, monitoring and A/B tests.
• Coordinate AI efforts across teams: Establish shared AI building blocks (e.g., tool landscape, prompt/knowledge management, evaluation framework). Create an internal “AI playbook” and reusable components to avoid duplicate work.
• Build AI products: Help teams build AI products and prototypes yourself, using the tool landscape which you shape.
• Process redesign around AI: Re-imagine business processes around AI augmentation rather than one-off automation; document and scale learnings across units.
• High visibility and influence: Present strategy and progress to leadership; secure alignment and resources.

What sets you apart

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in product management (or adjacent), optimally revolving around data or machine learning products. Proven track record shipping AI/ML features end-to-end with measurable business impact.
• Technical depth: Strong understanding of LLMs, Machine Learning, Data Infrastructure and Analytics. Optimally, you started your career in a very technical role (e.g. machine learning engineer) and have now made the transition to a more product management or project focused role (but other career paths are also fine).
• Mindset & Communication: Bias for action, high ownership, helpfulness, capability to explain complicated things in an understandable way, fluent in German and English

• No back doors: We only offer permanent employment contracts.
