Product Manager $$$ Offline

Product Manager — Remote (EU) | US Startup

Location: Europe (3–6h overlap with US hours)

Type: Full-time, remote

Focus: Product discovery, execution, specs, user research, ruthless prioritization

About Us

We’re a fast-moving U.S. startup building real products, shipping fast, and solving serious customer problems. We operate with high ownership, zero bureaucracy, fast decisions, and a culture where everyone sweats the details.

We’re hiring a Product Manager who thinks like a founder — someone who doesn’t wait for tasks, doesn’t need process to function, and can turn chaos into clarity.

If you need perfect specs, long roadmaps, or a corporate environment — this isn’t for you.

If you love building things end-to-end, working with ambitious engineers, and making high-impact decisions — you’ll thrive here.

What You’ll Do

You’ll own product from problem → idea → spec → execution → launch → iteration.

• Understand customers deeply; talk to users often
• Turn vague problems into clear, actionable product direction
• Write crisp specifications, flows, and acceptance criteria
• Prioritize ruthlessly — cut scope, move fast
• Work closely with engineering and design
• Define and track KPIs that actually matter
• Run tight feedback loops (research → ship → measure → iterate)
• Think several steps ahead: market, competition, risks, constraints
• Identify opportunities and build things even without being asked

You are the person who keeps the product moving forward — not the person waiting for someone else to move it.

What We Expect (The Mindset That Matters)

Let’s be very clear:

This is not a role for someone who:

• needs heavy process
• waits to be assigned tasks
• hides behind “dependencies”
• only writes Jira tickets
• avoids responsibility
• wants low pressure and predictable days

This is a role for someone who:

• takes extreme ownership of outcomes
• keeps everyone aligned and moving
• thrives in ambiguity
• is proactive, not reactive
• speaks up, pushes back, and proposes better solutions
• understands that early-stage startups require a real grind
• doesn’t cop out when things get complex
• quickly becomes irreplaceable through impact
