Product Manager

Product Manager – Europe: Germany, United Kingdom, or Czech Republic or US East Coast

PeoplePath is seeking an experienced Product Manager to own the enhancement pipeline for our SaaS platform, from the first client conversation to a specified, prioritized requirement our development team can pick up. As a Product Manager, you will serve as the voice of the market inside PeoplePath, running discovery with our Customer Success team, clients, and prospects, turning what you learn into documented requirements and prototypes, and ranking and defending the backlog. The ideal candidate will be intellectually curious, organized, self-motivated, collaborative, evidence-driven, and team-centric.

To be successful in this role, you should have experience in B2B SaaS product management with enterprise clients and be able to articulate client needs in both business and technical terms. You’re comfortable having commercial conversations with client executives and detailed working sessions with developers. You will not manage the build: development runs its own lifecycle under our product and technology Co-CEO. Your job is to make sure the right things enter that lifecycle, fully specified. You will report to our Co-CEO responsible for go-to-market and Customer Success, which gives you direct access to commercial context and short decision paths.

PeoplePath has locations in Seattle, Washington, Munich, Germany, and the Czech Republic. Our team is distributed across the United States, Germany, and the Czech Republic. We are seeking a team member based in Europe or on the US East Coast with reliable working-hour overlap with Central European Time. Currently, we are fully remote and travel to meet in person quarterly.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with Customer Success and run discovery with clients and prospects to understand their needs, usage patterns, and adoption barriers, and what each need is worth, then translate those insights into product priorities

• Separate one-off requests from patterns across the client base

• Write requirements the development team can work from, including the problem, affected clients, proposed behavior, and acceptance criteria

• Build the artifact each requirement needs, whether a wireframe, a clickable prototype, or a working prototype built with AI coding tools, so the requirement is unambiguous for the development team that designs and builds it

• Maintain one visible, ranked backlog using a consistent prioritization method that covers retention risk, revenue impact, and reach

• Present the pipeline to the Co-CEOs and defend the ranking

• Close the loop with everyone who raised a request, including explaining why a request was declined

• Prepare Customer Success for releases with client-facing feature briefs and plain-language internal guides covering intended audiences, value, configuration steps, and considerations

• Help shape product direction and feature pricing with leadership, and explain where the product is going and why so Customer Success and clients understand how it supports client goals

• Join client reviews and prospect conversations where product decides the outcome

• Share learnings internally with the Customer Success and Development teams

Desired Qualifications & Experience

• 3+ years’ experience in B2B SaaS product management, selling to enterprise clients

• Alternatively, around 3 years in technology or digital consulting gathering requirements, running client workshops, and writing specifications, even without a product title

• Track record of owning a requirements pipeline end to end, including saying no and explaining why

• Direct client contact as a normal part of your week

• Specifications that development teams have actually built from

• Experience prototyping in whatever form fits the question, including wireframes and flows, Figma, or AI-assisted working prototypes

• Strong interpersonal skills and comfort interacting with clients at varying seniority levels

• Highly developed oral and written communication skills, with business fluency in English

• Track record of working successfully in teams

• Possess intellectual curiosity with the goal of learning and improving

• Based in Europe (Germany, UK, or Czech Republic) or on the US East Coast with reliable overlap with Central European Time

Nice To Haves

Domain experience in any of these areas is a plus. We are equally interested in strong B2B SaaS product managers coming from other categories.

• Alumni, community, membership, or association platforms

• HR technology, talent CRM, recruiting CRM, or talent marketplaces

• CRM, contact data management, segmentation, or marketing automation

• Enterprise SaaS sold to professional services firms

Portfolio

Please include a portfolio of two or three work samples that show how you take a client's need to a development-ready requirement. Strong samples include a specification or requirements document, a prioritized backlog with the reasoning behind it, and a wireframe or prototype. Remove or anonymize any confidential client or employer information, and add a brief note on the context and your role for each sample. If you can’t share past work, a mock example created for this application is welcome.
