Technical Product Manager

commercetools - we are:

• The competitive sort: We didn’t become the fastest growing, highest ever valued SaaS software company in digital commerce with nearly 100% year-over-year growth by sitting on the sidelines.
• Inspired: Continually exploring what’s possible — the innovators of headless commerce, the visionaries behind MACH — our patented tech has radically disrupted the world of enterprise ecommerce software - and we are just getting started. 
• Valued: Smart, strong, passionate individuals hailing from over 50 countries across the globe, speaking over 43 languages, and collectively embracing diversity, encouraging inclusion, and fostering a culture of caring.
• Driven: We push the limits, technology, and ourselves to retain the trust of some of the world’s leading and fastest growing brands every single day.

The Opportunity:

Together with the Senior Product leadership (CPO, VP Product, etc.), this enthusiastic global Product team is defining our product vision and roadmap.
commercetools for Growth is a newly created solution (and team) that will enable Scaling Brands & Merchants to quickly launch on a flexible, best-in-class composable stack with low effort and without the need for a big development team, keeping their iteration speed high to optimize business outcomes. The key to achieving this is to build a bundle of market-leading MACH products (commercetools products and partner products) that are perfectly connected and pre-configured. This will enable Scaling Brand and Merchants to launch quickly, iterate fast through business-user tooling and make sure that this is the last re-platforming they will ever have to do.
This is a great opportunity to marshal a product that has the potential to have a long-lasting impact on the commerce landscape for aspiring brands and retailers. If you are looking for a place where your contribution makes a difference, and if you never want to stop learning and growing, join our product management team!

Please note that for this role, we can currently offer full-remote work for candidates based in the European Union and in the United Kingdom.

Your Mission:

• Make sure (together with engineering), that the technical architecture of the commercetools for Growth bundle is best-in-class
• Own the connectors between the MACH products in the bundle from a product perspective
• Lead initiatives to enhance the experience of customer interaction with such a bundled solution (e.g. SSO, business user interface, etc.)
• Think big, scope small, and quickly iterate collectively with your team to make sure that you solve the right problems
• Use your product sense, collectively with a qualitative and data-informed approach to creating a solution brands and retailers love
• Become part of our product community. We like to grow and learn together, including regular knowledge exchange sessions plus coaching from peers and the Head of Product.

What you need to succeed:

• 3 or more years of experience as a product manager in areas such as headless eCommerce technologies, microservice architecture, B2B product management and eCommerce product/project management
• High technical knowledge / architecture knowledge, preferably in the eCommerce domain
• Experience working with commerce or a similar complex domain, with a big ecosystem and many extensions
• Self-assured presenter and facilitator. You can clearly communicate product resolutions and the rationale behind them, and you’re not afraid to go against consensus by asking the right questions
• Self-starter, looking for pragmatic solutions

Nice to have:

• Previous experience as a developer or development background would be beneficial

Team Values:

Positivity. Negativity is the enemy of progress.

Trust & Transparency. Promote direct and continuous feedback.

Learning. Be proud if you’ve failed at something. Think big, start small, learn fast!
