Founding Product Manager @ handly - 20VC backed
About this role
handly is hiring a Founding Product Manager to join a tight, ambitious early-stage team and lead product direction end-to-end. This is a hands-on builder role where you'll ship features with engineering, learn fast from users, and shape how product work scales at a company backed by 20VC. The role is based in Berlin-Mitte and focuses on velocity and real responsibility.
What you'll do
- Own product direction from understanding user problems to shaping solutions and shipping them.
- Translate company goals into clear product bets, priorities, and tradeoffs.
- Work closely with engineering to scope, design, and ship features quickly.
- Make product decisions with incomplete data and course correct as needed.
- Develop a deep understanding of users, workflows, and real-world constraints.
- Bring clarity to the team on what we are building, why, and what done means.
- Help shape how product work happens at handly as the company scales.
- Operate in a fast, low-ceremony environment with direct feedback and no management layers.
- Embrace high velocity: fast loops, few meetings, and hands-on shipping.
- Be present in-office daily in Berlin-Mitte in a modern, light-filled workspace.
What handly is looking for
- High agency: you take ownership, push things forward, and do not wait for permission.
- AI-native mindset and familiarity using AI tools and AI-first product patterns.
- Strong technical understanding and the ability to reason about systems and constraints.
- Good product taste and a clear opinion on what makes a product great.
- Attention to UX and details, even if you are not a trained designer.
- Comfortable making decisions with imperfect or incomplete information.
- Comfortable being wrong and correcting course quickly.
- Experience in fast-paced, early-stage environments.
- Side projects or things you have built on your own are a strong plus.
- Fluent German (spoken and written) because the product interface and many partners use German.
- Fluent English for internal communication.
- A mindset-focused hire: handly cares more about how you think and act than years of PM experience.
