Job Description

Your Mission 

We're seeking an entrepreneurial Senior Product Manager to act as mini-CEO of the distinct product area - with direct P&L responsibility and end-to-end ownership of revenue performance, product strategy, and go-to-market execution.

This isn't a traditional product role - you'll drive commercial outcomes while building exceptional products, operating at the intersection of product, sales, marketing, and analytics.

What You'll Own

Revenue & Commercial Performance

• Direct P&L accountability for your product area with measurable revenue targets
• End-to-end funnel optimization from top-of-funnel awareness through conversion and retention
• Monetization strategy including pricing models, packaging, and new revenue streams
• Go-to-market execution working closely with sales and marketing to drive adoption

Product Strategy & Development

• Product roadmap and prioritization based on validated market demand and revenue impact
• Cross-functional leadership of engineering teams (typically 4-6 engineers), providing clear business context and requirements
• Market validation using fake door tests, A/B experiments, customer interviews, and data analysis
• Feature specification that translates business goals into technical requirements

Market Intelligence & Growth

• Customer research and insights to identify unmet needs and expansion opportunities
• Competitive analysis and market positioning to maintain differentiation
• Partnership and channel development to accelerate growth
• Sales enablement including value messaging, competitive positioning, and sales tool development

How You'll Work

Demand-First Approach: You validate before you build. Whether it's a fake door test for a new feature or direct customer interviews for pricing changes, you invest development resources only where real demand exists.

Startup Mentality: You create momentum across the organization, align stakeholders around shared goals, and foster a culture where everyone understands "the cause" and their role in achieving it.

Data-Driven Decision Making: You leverage analytics, user research, and market data to inform every major decision, from feature prioritization to pricing strategy.

Qualifications

What will you bring to the ride? 

• Proven commercial focus: you bring hands-on experience working on revenue growth, sales enablement, pricing or monetization strategies. You think in terms of P&L and understand costs and benefits.
• Customer-centric mindset: you’re not afraid to pick up the phone to talk to customers, test assumptions, and validate insights directly.
• Data fluency: you can dig into SQL or similar tools to uncover insights, run funnel analysis, or conduct lightweight market research.
• Leadership and influence: you know how to align and inspire cross-functional teams (engineers, marketers, analysts, sales) towards a shared vision.
• Agile collaboration: you’ve worked with engineering teams in Agile setups, not by writing every Jira ticket yourself, but by providing the “why” and “what” with clarity.
• Entrepreneurial drive: you act like an owner, comfortable experimenting, iterating, and learning fast.
• Language: fluent German and English is a must.
• Experience: 5+ years as a Product Manager or in a similar commercially-oriented role.
   

Big pluses are:

• Background in marketplaces, SaaS, or subscription-based models.
• Experience in sales enablement, telesales, or self-service product channels.
• Understanding of real estate, finance, or adjacent industries.

Additional Information

What do we offer? 

• 6 weeks of holidays (with the possibility to buy up to 10 additional days)
• 40-hour week
• 18 weeks of maternity leave and 6 weeks of paternity leave. Also applies in cases of adoption.
• Flexible working arrangements (we strongly value work-life balance) 
• Access to mental health, well-being, and counselling platforms
• Swiss transport system half-fare card and travel first class by train between SMG sites in Switzerland

1. Initial Screening Call
2. Meeting the Hiring Manager/ Technical Assessment
3. Team Fit Meeting
