Job Summary
BidX is looking for a Product Manager to own the bridge between our commercial teams and our developers. You'll turn a stream of business needs - from account managers, clients, and leadership - into a prioritized, well-specified backlog the development team can execute against, and you'll own the system that decides what gets built next. This is a high-ownership role for someone who is energized by building order out of ambiguity. You won't be slotting into a mature product machine - you'll be building the machinery: the intake funnel, the scoring model, and the cadence that make prioritization fast, consistent, and defensible.
Key Responsibilities
- Own prioritization end-to-end. Design and run a repeatable system to score, sequence, and communicate what gets built - replacing case-by-case decisions with a transparent, defensible process.
- Translate in both directions. Take business cases from account managers and clients and turn them into clear specs for developers; translate technical constraints back into terms the business understands.
- Spec features and close gaps. Write clear specifications for new features and improvements - from campaign-creation flows to reporting and automation.
- Coordinate migrations and dev dependencies. Keep multi-step technical initiatives moving, manage exceptions, and chase blockers before they stall.
- Own request intake and triage. Run backlog review, deduplicate tracking across boards, and evaluate a public roadmap/upvote tool so clients and Account Managers have a clear front door.
- Support strategic product bets. Contribute specs, feedback loops, and coordination for major initiatives - including our AI product layer.
- Keep product operations honest. Maintain status alignment across boards, clear release notes, and a trustworthy backlog.
Requirements / Qualifications
Must-have
- Structured thinking. You can take a messy stream of requests and impose order - categorize, score, sequence, and defend the sequence. This is the single most important trait.
- Strong communication across audiences. You write clear specs, run a clean backlog, and can hold a conversation with a developer and an account manager in the same afternoon without losing either. You're comfortable pushing back and saying "not now" with a reason.
- Ownership and follow-through. You chase blockers, keep things from going silent, and close loops.
- Comfortable operating under direction. You bring structure and a point of view while executing against priorities set by leadership. You want autonomy on how, not final say on what.
- Fluent AI usage. You work AI into your daily workflow - not as a novelty, but as leverage. You understand agents and MCPs (Model Context Protocol), can design and run AI workflows to automate research, spec-writing, triage, and reporting, and can reason about where AI fits (and where it doesn't) in a product process.
Strong bonus
- Amazon Advertising knowledge. Familiarity with Sponsored Products/Brands/Display, DSP, bidding strategies, budget/lookback mechanics, ASIN structures, and AMC. This lets you reason about trade-offs independently and is the highest-leverage bonus.
Preferred Qualifications
- Technical literacy - enough to talk credibly with engineers about APIs, data models, migrations, and feasibility. You don't need to code, but you shouldn't be intimidated by a technical conversation. Familiarity with SQL/MariaDB, data pipelines, and third-party APIs is a plus.
- German - the dev team is Darmstadt-based and much internal communication is in German; Account Managers are international. Bilingual DE/EN is a practical advantage, not a must.
- B2B SaaS product experience, ideally in ad-tech, e-commerce, or the Amazon ecosystem.
- n8n (or similar workflow automation) - hands-on experience building automations in n8n, Make, Zapier, or comparable tools, especially wiring AI steps into multi-step workflows.
The Prioritization Mandate
No formal prioritization system exists today — building one is the core deliverable. In your first weeks we'd expect you to stand up:
- A single intake funnel for requests from Account Managers, clients, leadership, and dev, so nothing lives only in a chat thread.
- A scoring model weighting business impact, reach, effort/feasibility, and strategic fit (a RICE- or weighted-scoring-style framework is a reasonable start).
- A review-and-communicate cadence tied into existing product and Customer Growth rhythms.
- Transparency back to the business so Account Managers and clients can see where a request stands.
Leadership keeps the final call on priorities; you own the machinery that makes those calls fast, consistent, and defensible.
Benefits & Perks
- Hybrid work - we offer you the perfect blend of flexibility and in-person interaction.
- An ambitious and open-minded team that works together on innovative solutions and supports one another.
- Modern workplace equipment with Apple devices, so you can work efficiently and comfortably at all times.
- A varied workday - with us, exciting tasks are guaranteed, but boredom is not.
- Regular team events in a relaxed atmosphere to strengthen team spirit and celebrate successes.
- An international, diverse team that brings together different perspectives and learns from one another.
