Full description
About us
Zenjob is an AI-powered flexible staffing platform that has connected companies and temporary workers since 2015. Companies use our platform to book ready-to-work staff in real time, while students use our app - we call them Zenjobbers - to find part-time jobs that conveniently fit around their studies. Over 40,000 Zenjobbers and 1,000 partner companies from logistics, retail, and hospitality in all major German cities share our belief that good work is not a coincidence. It is the result of innovative technology and genuine commitment. Good work starts here.
The Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Product Manager to join our team. In this role, you will play a key part in defining and executing a product vision that ensures Zenjob’s marketplace dynamics are well balanced, by optimizing our demand forecast, making sure jobs and Zenjobbers are matched optimally, and engaging students in working a high number of shifts.
This is not a role that owns one squad's backlog. You'll work project-based: form a team around a problem, own it end-to-end until it delivers on the expected need. You'll get problem statements, not requirements documents. Recent examples: how shifts get allocated across thousands of Zenjobbers each week, and how we get a new Zenjobber from signup to their first shift without human intervention.
This role suits a Product Manager who is energised by an open-ended problem, and who finds complex workflows genuinely interesting. You'll report to the Director of Product and work across our Supply, Demand and Staffing squads, depending on the problem to solve.
What You’ll do
- Bring our business goals to reality. Understand our financial goals, our users' problems and transform them into solutions that drive our revenue up.
- Talk to users directly. Zenjobbers, clients, and our own internal teams. Most of the good opportunities come out of these conversations, not out of a backlog.
- Do your own data work. You don’t wait until a data analyst gives you the insights, you dive into it and derive them yourself.
- Turn ambiguity into a defensible plan. Take a problem nobody agrees on yet, and define what we're solving, what we're explicitly not solving, and in what order.
- Design and run tests. Form a hypothesis, define what would falsify it, ship the smallest thing that gives you a real answer, and be honest about the result.
- Drive product development from concept to launch. Pull together Engineering, Design, Ops and Commercial around a problem and keep them moving through hypothesis, building, rollout and post-launch decision making
