Senior Product Manager — Subscription (f/m/d)

  • North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
  • Full-Time
  • Remote

Job Description:

Our client is a Merchant of Record that lets companies sell software globally and manage the full subscription lifecycle. Today's Subscription Management Portal works — but it's limited, fragmented, and under-adopted, especially for complex and enterprise use cases. Your job: turn it into a scalable, core product capability. A shape-it role with room to expand scope as business priorities evolve.

THE ROLE

You own and evolve the subscription lifecycle experience end to end — vision, roadmap, discovery, delivery, and the business outcomes that follow. You translate messy signals into clear priorities and trade-offs, work shoulder to shoulder with Engineering and GTM, and treat shipped features as a means to measurable impact, not the finish line. The role centres on subscriptions today, but asks for a holistic view of the product and company strategy — scope can shift as the business does.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own the vision and roadmap — turn signals into priorities and make clear trade-offs aligned with company strategy.
  • Define how customers manage subscriptions end-to-end: a scalable, self-service lifecycle experience.
  • Drive retention, expansion, and self-service adoption via high-impact initiatives with clear business cases.
  • Reduce onboarding and usage friction, and improve how the product integrates into client flows.
  • Own the full product lifecycle from discovery to delivery with Engineering and cross-functional teams.
  • Own outcomes, not just delivery — make sure shipped features translate into measurable business impact.
  • Align stakeholders and drive decisions on vision, priorities, and outcomes.

WHAT YOU BRING

The real must-haves:

  • 6+ years in product management (SaaS, fintech, or ecommerce), owning customer-facing products end-to-end.
  • Strong product judgment — you find the right problems to solve and make clear trade-offs.
  • Comfortable defining strategy from first principles in ambiguous spaces.
  • Data-driven — you define success upfront and measure outcomes rigorously.
  • Experience with complex systems and dependencies (payments, billing, platforms).
  • Align and influence senior stakeholders; a bar raiser who mentors other PMs.
  • Clear, concise communicator who simplifies complex topics and drives decisions.

Nice-to-haves:

  • Hands-on with subscriptions, billing, or invoicing systems.
  • Payments or commerce infrastructure experience.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset — ownership, initiative, and drive; at home in fast-changing environments.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

  • A real ownership mandate: turn an under-adopted portal into a core product capability.
  • Work hybrid or fully remote — with flexible hours.
  • A personal L&D budget and structured development programs.
  • Health & well-being benefits, pension/retirement plans, referral bonuses, and more.
  • A 200+ person, 30+ nationality team where people tend to stay.
