Product Manager - Berlin

🦾 How we support you

You will report directly to our Head of Product.

Some of our angel investors that will actively mentor you:

• Jan Philipp Thomsen (VP Product @Celonis) - scaling enterprise B2B SaaS

• Vassili Samolis (Director Product @Doordash, ex-Instagram, ex-Pinterest) - product discovery at scale

It is important to us to give you the best conditions for learning and career growth. This is why we have designed our cap table in a way that all our early employees get functional experts as mentors by your side.

🧺 What you bring along

You might be a good fit if you can demonstrate the following things:

• 2-3 years of product management experience, ideally at an early-stage B2B SaaS company that shipped at a high pace.

• Strong prioritization is your superpower. You can hold customer escalations, internal stakeholder asks, and long-term bets in your head at the same time, and decide what gets done first. You communicate those decisions clearly to engineers, designers, customers, and leadership alike.

• Comfortable leading engineering and design. You know how to keep a squad moving, when to step in, when to step back. You can hold a productive conversation with both an engineer and a designer in the same hour.

• Some technical understanding. You do not need to write production code, but you should be able to reason about systems, data models, and the tradeoffs that affect what is feasible.

• Appetite to go deep. Agricultural emissions methodologies are not light reading. You should be the kind of person who gets curious, not bored, when the conversation turns to calculators and data sources.

• Builder mentality. You enjoy shipping. You would rather have something live and imperfect than perfect and unshipped.

• AI-fluent. Modern AI tools are part of your daily craft - for discovery synthesis, prototyping, writing, coding. You also have a point of view on how AI reshapes the products we build.

• Bonus: a genuine interest in farmers, agriculture, or the food system. Not required, but it will make Monday mornings a lot more fun.

You don't feel like you fulfill all the criteria? We get it: confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But guess what?! There is no such thing as a “perfect” candidate. The only thing you need to ensure along the recruiting process and beyond is that the problem that we are solving with Root is one you cannot wait to get out of bed for on Monday morning!

🎢 Hiring Process

Our ambition is to offer you an end-to-end experience that is fast and uncomplicated - we aim to keep the end-to-end process to 10 working days. We send you prep material for each step and maximise transparency at every step.
