Your role in the team

  • You are responsible for managing the product backlog: prioritization, communication, and transparency to maximize customer value. You manage the expectations of numerous stakeholders—both internal and external—and navigate the balance between standardization and customer-specific requirements. Especially at the beginning, you’ll be supported by experienced colleagues.
  • You will provide technical leadership to a team of eight developers, including several emerging talents. You will structure the work, lead by example, and support your team’s professional development.
  • You represent FINOYO to customers, give presentations, and lead user groups to actively shape the user community. You collect and incorporate feedback from users and through data analysis.
  • You drive FINOYO’s content development in close coordination with the product team, help shape the product strategy and roadmap, and regularly prepare product status updates for senior management.
  • You also get hands-on with configuration, because you can only shape the product strategy if you understand the product.

Our expectations of you

Education

  • You have some experience with financial statement preparation, ideally through a degree specializing in finance, financial accounting, or accounting. You don’t need to have experience with the tech stack (Java, Spring, React), AI technologies, or sales—you should simply be eager to develop your skills in these areas.

Qualifications

  • You make decisions and are accustomed to prioritizing under pressure and navigating the tension between high quality standards, customer focus, and business value.
  • You are assertive and well-organized, take responsibility, and aren’t afraid to address difficult topics. You can handle tensions.
  • You have strong communication skills, negotiate professionally, and give and receive feedback as equals.
  • You are fluent in German and English.

Experience

  • You bring several years of experience in IT project management, whether as a consultant, Product Owner, or in a comparable role. You don’t need to have led a team yet, but the prospect of taking on a technical leadership role should appeal to you, not put you off.

What we offer

  • An exciting role that will help you grow and give you plenty of scope to shape things.
  • A tailored onboarding plan and a personal mentor who will support you with advice and guidance from day one.
  • Flexible working hours and (after onboarding) approximately 40% remote work, as well as full compensation for every hour of overtime, either through payment or time off in lieu.
  • A wide range of internal and external training opportunities.
  • A modern, ergonomically designed workplace close to Göttingen city centre, just a ten-minute walk from the main train station, as well as free parking.
  • Attractive additional benefits such as bike leasing, corporate benefits, occupational accident insurance, company pension scheme, gym subsidy, and sports groups.
  • A sense of community you can feel: summer parties, after-work events, Christmas parties, and project completion celebrations.
