Product Manager – Intralogistics Software

Role Overview

One of our key customers is investing in the next generation of its digital solutions, evolving from an established software product into a broader, integrated portfolio designed to set new standards within its industry.

To support this transformation, we are seeking a Product Manager with a strong market and customer focus. This is not a traditional Product Owner role, but a strategic position that serves as the interface between the market and the development organization. The role shapes product direction by translating customer needs, industry trends, and business objectives into clear priorities and roadmaps, ensuring the right value is delivered at the right time.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and drive the product strategy and roadmap for multiple digital software solutions.
• Translate market trends, customer needs, and business goals into clear product priorities.
• Evaluate new product opportunities based on customer value, feasibility, and commercial impact.
• Act as the strategic interface between customers, sales, service, and development teams.
• Shape product vision, positioning, and go-to-market strategy.
• Guide cross-functional teams across the product lifecycle, from concept to launch.
• Validate solutions through prototypes, MVPs, and pilot customer engagements.
• Support commercialization, product launches, and internal enablement activities.
• Contribute to improved product performance and more efficient commissioning and start-up processes.

Required Qualifications

• Degree in a technical discipline (e.g. engineering, computer science) or equivalent professional experience.
• Several years of experience managing complex B2B software products, ideally in warehouse automation, industrial systems, or similar technology-driven environments.
• Strong understanding of software development practices, including architecture, agile methods, and release planning.
• Market- and customer-driven mindset with the ability to translate real-world challenges into scalable solutions.
• Experience evaluating business cases, MVPs, and proof-of-concept initiatives.
• Confident communicator, comfortable working with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
• Very good English and German skills; additional languages are an advantage.
• Willingness to travel internationally on a limited basis.
