Descrição da oferta de emprego

The Product Team at Smartex is driving the transformation of the textile industry through AI-powered fabric inspection. Our mission is to help manufacturers reduce waste, improve margins, and enable Digital Quality Control at scale: building a world where every meter of fabric is inspected automatically and intelligently.

As we scale, we are looking for a Product Manager to turn strategy into execution and measurable impact across our AI, hardware, and software ecosystem. We’re seeking a motivated and impact-driven professional with 3–6+ years of Product Management experience (preferably in B2B SaaS, AI, deep-tech, or industrial environments). This is a high-impact role in a fast-growing deep-tech startup, ideal for someone who thrives in clarity, autonomy, and execution.

• Define and communicate product vision, strategy, and roadmap aligned with company objectives.
• Translate company strategy into actionable product roadmaps that balance innovation, scalability, and reliability.
• Own the product lifecycle from discovery to delivery and continuous improvement.
• Lead structured product discovery, validate customer problems, define success metrics, and ensure measurable outcomes.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Work closely with Engineering, QA, DevOps, and Design teams to translate business and customer requirements into clear product specifications, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Prioritize effectively based on impact and feasibility.
• Balance business impact, customer value, technical feasibility, and strategic alignment when making prioritization decisions.
• Gather and analyze user feedback, usage data, and market insights.
• Collaborate with Sales and Customer Success to incorporate field feedback and continuously refine product direction.
• Define and track key product metrics (KPIs).
• Measure product performance, adoption, and impact — ensuring our solutions stop defective fabric as early as possible in production.
• Ensure timely and high-quality product releases.
• Actively participate in sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives, ensuring smooth execution and accountability.
• Act as the main point of contact between technical teams and stakeholders.
• Drive alignment, clarity, and transparent communication across departments.
• Support go-to-market efforts and customer adoption.
• Partner with Sales and Marketing to ensure successful launches and strong product adoption.
• Continuously improve product processes.
• Contribute to building a more structured, scalable product execution model, improving documentation standards and discovery practices.
• 3–6+ years of experience as a Product Manager, preferably in B2B SaaS, AI-driven, deep-tech, or industrial technology environments.
• Technical Background / Fluency: You don\'t need to write production code, but you do need to hold our system in your head.
• Proven experience shipping impactful features and delivering measurable outcomes.
• Experience working closely with software development teams (Frontend, Backend, DevOps, QA).
• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, or Scrumban).
• Strong prioritization skills and structured thinking.
• Experience writing clear product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business value.
• Data-informed decision-making and strong analytical skills.
• Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration abilities.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity within a fast-growing startup environment.
• High ownership mindset with strong accountability and bias for action.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Fluency in English.
