Product Manager @ handly - 20VC backed
Handly
handly is an early stage, VC backed company building an AI first operating system for craft businesses. We recently raised €3.75m from 20VC, Stride and Base10 and are building a small, performant team with high ownership and high trust.
We are looking for a Product Manager who wants real responsibility: shaping product direction, making decisions with imperfect information, shipping themselves and working hands on with engineering to ship fast and learn faster. This is not a process heavy PM role. It is a builder role.
Tasks
- Own product direction end to end, from understanding user problems to shaping solutions and shipping them
- Translate company goals into clear product bets, priorities, and tradeoffs
- Work very closely with engineering to scope, design and ship features and iterate quickly
- Make product decisions with incomplete data and course correct when needed
- Develop a deep understanding of users, workflows, and real world constraints
- Bring clarity to the team on what we are building, why, and what done means
- Help shape how product work happens at handly as we scale
Requirements
This role is about how you work, not just where you worked.
You should strongly identify with most of the following:
- High agency. You take ownership, push things forward, and do not wait for permission
- AI native mindset. You actively use AI tools and think in AI first product patterns
- Strong technical understanding and ability to reason about systems and constraints
- Good product taste and a clear opinion on what makes a product great
- You care about UX and details, even if you are not a trained designer
- Comfortable making decisions with imperfect or incomplete information
- Comfortable being wrong and correcting course quickly
- Experience in fast paced, early stage environments
- Side projects or things you have built on your own are a strong plus
We care more about how you think and act than years of PM experience.
Benefits
In-office daily: Berlin-Mitte, modern light-filled workspace with a large balcony
- Velocity: fast loops, direct feedback, no management layers
- Growth: as much responsibility as you can handle
- Team: tight, ambitious group that enjoys building hard things together
- Focus: No stand-ups and only two short meetings per week
- Compensation: €70–90k + competitive equity
If this sounds like your kind of role, we would love to talk.
Our process is simple and fast:
- Intro call
- Conversation with Basti
- Practical discussion around product thinking and collaboration with Kais
- On site session with Kais, Basti and Alain. Whiteboarding, product and culture focus (half day)
No lengthy case studies. No drawn out process.
