Job description

Job Description

VP AI & Product (f/m/d) 100% – Zürich and let’s achieve great things together! Become part of a successful team and achieve success beyond your previous capabilities. Hungry for more? Properti is the leading and multi-award-winning PropTech broker in Switzerland. We combine highly trained experts with the latest technologies on an intelligent platform to provide customers, brokers and service partners with risk‑free, flexible and simplified services. If you can imagine working at Product in Zürich.

Tasks

Product and AI strategy

• You own properti's product and AI strategy: the outcome we are going after, where we focus, what we will not do, and the targets that tell us it is working. You turn it into one prioritised roadmap.
• You decide what we build, buy or partner on, and in what order, within the company goals the leadership team sets
• You link every initiative to a business outcome: mandates, conversion, broker productivity, client experience.

Build and ship

• You ship AI agents and copilots into the broker’s daily workflow: from automated lead qualification and seller follow‑up to AI‑generated listings and buyer matching.
• You lead product discovery and delivery across both sides of our business: lead to mandate for sellers, and listing to transaction for buyers.
• You own our products for brokers and clients, and take them from idea to scale.
• You work closely with our CTO and engineers to ship fast, measure impact and stop what does not work.
• You define how we evaluate AI in production: quality metrics, evals, human‑in‑the‑loop and cost per outcome.
• You shape the platform we are building: which tools it replaces, in which order, and how our data carries over without disrupting our brokers’ daily work.
• You make sure our data can measure what we ship: clear definitions, reliable dates and one source of truth for the funnel.

AI Across The Company

• You drive AI adoption in Sales, Growth and Operations, and work with them to change how those teams work day to day.
• You set the standards for how we use AI: data, quality, security and build‑vs‑buy decisions.
• You make adoption measurable: share of workflows running with AI across Sales, Growth and Operations, hours saved, and impact on mandates and conversion.

Lead the team

• You lead a small, AI‑augmented product team. We expect product managers to prototype themselves with AI tools, test with real brokers within days, and measure impact in production rather than in specifications.
• You build a culture of ownership, speed and clear priorities. You handover problems, not solutions.

Leadership and collaboration

• You work as a peer with our CTO and VP Growth: one shared view of priorities and joint ownership of outcomes, with clear lines between what we build, how we build it and how we bring it to market.
• You are the CEO’s sparring partner on product, AI and technology decisions.
• You represent properti’s product and AI story towards investors, partners and the board.

Job requirements

Who You Are

Must-haves

• 8+ years in product management, including several years leading product teams and hiring and coaching product managers.
• You have shipped LLM-based products or agents into production and can explain what worked, what failed and what it cost.
• You build with AI yourself: you prototype, write prompts and evals, and know the current tooling first‑hand.
• A track record of shipping products that people use and that moved business numbers, ideally in a scaleup.
• Experience building CRM or CRM‑related products: pipelines, contact and deal data, and the daily workflow of a sales team.
• You drive adoption in non‑technical teams, understanding how to build a product that people want to use.
• You explain complex topics simply, to brokers as well as to investors and the board.
• Fluent English. German is a strong plus.

• Background in PropTech, FinTech, marketplaces or platform business models.
• Experience with B2B2C products used by a sales force in the field.
• Experience in real estate is a very strong plus.
