Job Description
Your Mission
In our Real Estate Vertical, we're seeking an entrepreneurial Senior Product Manager to act as the mini-CEO of the distinct product area—with direct P&L responsibility and end-to-end ownership of revenue performance, product strategy, and go-to-market execution.
This isn't a traditional product role; you'll drive commercial outcomes while building exceptional products, operating at the intersection of product, sales, marketing, and analytics.
What You'll Own
Revenue & Commercial Performance
- Direct P&L accountability for your product area with measurable revenue targets.
- End-to-end funnel optimization from top-of-funnel awareness through conversion and retention.
- Monetization strategy including pricing models, packaging, and new revenue streams.
- Go-to-market execution working closely with sales and marketing to drive adoption.
Product Strategy & Development
- Product roadmap and prioritization based on validated market demand and revenue impact.
- Cross-functional leadership of engineering teams (typically 4-6 engineers), providing clear business context and requirements.
- Market validation using fake door tests, A/B experiments, customer interviews, and data analysis.
- Feature specification that translates business goals into technical requirements.
Market Intelligence & Growth
- Customer research and insights to identify unmet needs and expansion opportunities.
- Competitive analysis and market positioning to maintain differentiation.
- Partnership and channel development to accelerate growth.
- Sales enablement including value messaging, competitive positioning, and sales tool development.
How You'll Work
- Demand-First Approach: Validate before you build. Invest development resources only where real demand exists.
- Startup Mentality: Create momentum across the organization, align stakeholders around shared goals, and foster a culture of understanding.
- Data-Driven Decision Making: Leverage analytics, user research, and market data to inform every major decision.
Qualifications
What Will You Bring to the Ride?
- Proven commercial focus with hands-on experience in revenue growth, sales enablement, pricing, or monetization strategies.
- Customer-centric mindset—comfortable directly engaging with customers to validate insights.
- Data fluency—capable of using SQL or similar tools for insights, funnel analysis, or market research.
- Leadership and influence skills to align cross-functional teams towards a shared vision.
- Agile collaboration experience with engineering teams, clarifying the “why” and “what”.
- Entrepreneurial drive—act like an owner, experimenting, iterating, and learning rapidly.
- Fluency in both German and English is required.
- 5+ years' experience as a Product Manager or in a similar commercially-oriented role.
Big Pluses Are:
- Background in marketplaces, SaaS, or subscription-based models.
- Experience in sales enablement, telesales, or self-service product channels.
- Understanding of real estate, finance, or adjacent industries.
What Do We Offer?
- 6 weeks of holidays (with the possibility to buy up to 10 additional days).
- 40-hour work week.
- 18 weeks of maternity leave and 6 weeks of paternity leave, applicable in cases of adoption.
- Flexible working arrangements to value work-life balance.
- Access to mental health, well-being, and counseling platforms.
- Swiss transport system half-fare card and travel first class by train between SMG sites in Switzerland.
