Senior Product Manager (m/f/d) - Agentic AI Product

happyhotel is building the AI Revenue Manager: a new product category that replaces dashboard-heavy SaaS and feels to hoteliers like having their own on-demand revenue expert. This is not "AI features slapped onto an existing product," but a product reimagined from scratch. For this mission, we’re looking for you as our Founding Product Manager – working directly alongside Marius (Co-founder & CTPO) and Sebastian (Co-founder & CEO, himself a hotelier).

You’ll be the dedicated Product Manager for our AI Revenue Manager – a role that Marius and Sebastian have previously handled jointly on the side. With you, this won’t just be delegating execution, but a real step-change: You will co-own product strategy, scope, and roadmap alongside the founders and act as the connective tissue of the product trio of PM, designer, and engineering lead.

Your working style will shift between strategic sharpness – What makes it into V1, what is left out? – and operational closeness to discovery, design, and engineering so that by the end of 2026, we have real customers using a live product.

• Define the V1 scope together with the founders – narrow enough to go live in 2026, but relevant enough to deliver real value to hotel GMs – and you will actively defend this scope against the constant pull of new AI possibilities and customer requests.

• Manage a living, prioritized roadmap that serves as a real decision-making tool – not a wish list.

• Lead the Beta Design Partner Program (~10 hotel GMs, recruiting is already underway), build touchpoints, and translate insights back into scope and roadmap decisions.

• Structure the two-stage feedback loop: internal dogfooding with our RM and CS team for quick evaluations, external beta partners as the primary voice for product direction – and keep both clearly separate.

• Manage interfaces with our three existing product teams (Platform & Interfaces, Current Product, ML & Data Science), make dependencies visible early, and protect the momentum of the new product.

• Make tough prioritization decisions – even when it means saying no to good ideas, existing customers, or founder reflexes, if discovery demands it.

• Several years of PM experience in digital products, especially in B2B SaaS environments.

• Experience in 0-to-1 or founding contexts – you’ve brought products from concept to real customers’ hands and can navigate high ambiguity without a finished spec.

• Disciplined scoping – you can say no to good ideas, even if they come from customers, founders, or yourself.

• Genuine interest in AI products – not "AI buzzword on your resume," but understanding non-deterministic system behavior and what it means for product decisions and user trust.

• Solid discovery practice: conducting customer interviews, structured validation, translating insights into decisions.

• You prefer to work in tight loops with founders, designers, and engineers – short messages, quick calls, decisions the same day, with the option to reverse them the next.

• Fluent in English and German (team language is English, customer base mainly German-speaking).

• Willingness to work regularly onsite with the team in Offenburg and/or remotely with frequent touchpoints.

• Founding-level ownership: You help define what a new product category actually is – not just what gets built next.

• A problem worth solving: Independent hoteliers will have the power of a dedicated revenue manager for the first time. Real business impact, real people on the other side.

• Direct line to the founders: You’ll work daily with Marius (CTPO) and Sebastian (CEO) – short paths, real decisions, shared ownership instead of spec handover.

• A true product trio from day one: Dedicated designer, dedicated engineering lead, focused product – no shared-resources setup, no split priorities.

• Real time pressure, close to and with the customer: Committed beta design partners are waiting for the product and eager to give feedback.

• Flexible working hours, remote work, personal development budget, Hansefit, bike leasing, workation, and standard perks – but honestly: if you’re here for the perks, this probably isn’t the right role for you.
