German Speaking Product Manager

Our client is a pioneering, top-tier Shopify agency united by a clear mission: "Making E-Commerce Easy." They specialize in transforming complex technical hurdles into sustainable growth avenues for both fast-scaling startups and established mid-market enterprises.

Built on a foundation of transparency, peer-level partnership, and human-centric development, they focus on engineering holistic digital ecosystems rather than isolated software tools. To fuel the expansion of their proprietary app portfolio, they are looking for an ambitious Mid-Level Product Manager to lead high-impact user solutions entirely from their home office.

Scope of Responsibilities

In this role, you will take complete, end-to-end ownership of multiple Shopify applications. Serving as both the strategic architect and the operational anchor, you will ensure that every released feature is impactful, user-friendly, and closely aligned with customer needs.

• Full-Lifecycle Product Management: Manage the progression of new app features from early validation, conceptual design, and technical scoping through to deployment and continuous post-launch iteration.
• Backlog Grooming & Prioritization: Independently structure, refine, and prioritize the product backlog. Act as the definitive filter for incoming feature requests, internal stakeholder inputs, and Customer Success tickets.
• In-Depth User Discovery: Uncover and validate genuine user pain points by blending qualitative and quantitative research techniques, utilizing direct interviews, heatmaps, and drop-off analysis.
• Technical Specification Writing: Translate abstract conceptual ideas into developer-ready Jira tickets, writing clear user stories, rigorous acceptance criteria, and comprehensive product documentation.
• Metrics & Data Analytics: Define precise KPI baselines ahead of engineering sprints and conduct thorough post-launch analyses to guarantee that product iterations remain strictly data-driven.
• Strategic Roadmap Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with executive leadership to shape the long-term product vision, planning major epics, managing cross-functional dependencies, and backing up priority decisions with data.
• Greenfield Innovation: Monitor broader e-commerce trends to draft entirely new application concepts, validating them with initial market research and commercial business cases prior to development.
