Role
Who you are
- You have first experience in product management or a similar role, e.g. as PO, BA, Scrum Master in a product team. More important than years of experience is having a strong sense of what great product work looks like
- You don’t let ambiguity sit. You get answers, make decisions and see things through
- You have a high quality bar. Features that only half-work don’t get shipped
- You get up to speed on products and processes quickly and thoroughly – you’re the person who needs to know the tool inside-out
- You enjoy working with engineers and know what they need from a good PO: clear requirements, fast decisions, no unnecessary distractions
- You speak fluent English (must have); German is a plus
- Bonus: You have an interest in topics like sustainability, supply chain and circular economy
- Bonus: You have experience with AI tools for automation, analysis or process optimisation
What the job involves
- As Product Owner, you are the operational backbone of our product team. We’re growing fast – and with growth comes complexity, open questions, and features being built faster than they can be tested
- Your job is to bring exactly that under control: clear processes, clean cycles, and a team that always knows what’s next and why
- You work closely with the engineering teams and are responsible for creating, prioritising and maintaining user stories and acceptance criteria in Linear
- You plan engineer capacity and manage cycle planning: what gets worked on when and why
- You support the engineering team throughout delivery, clarify open questions and ensure requirements are clear and technically feasible
- You test newly developed features and ensure all quality criteria are met Features that only half-work don’t get shipped
- You analyse usage data, error sources and KPIs to make product success measurable and continuously improve
- You optimise existing processes and implement AI-supported automations together with the team
- You communicate proactively with business stakeholders to keep ticket and feature timelines on track
- You support go-to-market preparation and internal communication (e.g. for Sales, Support, Training)
- You are the owner of our product and continuously optimise SaaS principles on our platform
- You work with the Product Leadership Team to develop the product strategy and roadmap in the area of packaging compliance – with a focus on PPWR and related regulatory requirements
Our take
The €1T global packaging market suffers from fragmentation and low digitisation, making sourcing a headache for both buyers and suppliers. Customers battle opaque pricing and cumbersome processes, while suppliers struggle for visibility and market reach. This translates to missed cost savings, wasted time, and limited access to sustainable options.
Packmatic tackles this head-on with its fully digital packaging marketplace. Launched in 2021, it connects businesses to a network of over 400 European suppliers in just a few clicks. Its platform matches companies of all sizes with the right supplier for their needs, unlocking an average of 15% cost savings and opening doors to sustainable alternatives.
With rising price pressures and sustainability demands across industries, Packmatic is poised to disrupt the market and become a category leader. Its tech platform offers a win-win solution, optimising costs and promoting sustainable packaging choices for a more responsible future.
