Your role in the team
- As CPO ERP Systems for the Housing Industry (m/f/d), you are part of the management team and drive this transformation forward.
- You are responsible for product strategy, the roadmap, and product value; you establish agent-driven prototyping and work with the CTO to shape the process through to agent-assisted feature implementation.
- You lead by example in embracing the new way of working.
- You work remotely across Germany and regularly visit customers on-site, as well as our offices in Berlin and Leipzig.
- Product vision, strategy & prioritization: You develop the long-term vision for WOWIPORT and translate customer, market, and technology trends into a clear product strategy and roadmap.
- You prioritize based on customer value, strategic relevance, business viability, and effort, and you also make deliberate decisions about what we won’t develop.
- Customer proximity, co-creation & market presence: You stay close to housing companies and cooperatives, represent WOWIPORT in the market, and systematically involve customers in product decisions—from discovery and direct conversations to customer advisory boards and sounding boards, through to validating new solutions.
- Agentic AI & Prototyping: You embed AI agents in discovery, prototyping, and specification, making this new way of working an integral part of product development.
- Together with your team, you develop interactive prototypes and validate solution options with customers before making larger investments in development.
- Agent-assisted feature delivery: Together with the CTO, you establish a clear process from customer problem to validated feature.
- Your team defines business rules and acceptance criteria for implementation packages suitable for coding agents.
- You are responsible for the functional acceptance; the CTO is responsible for the technical aspects and approval.
- AI in the product, innovation & ecosystem: You will further develop WOWIPORT into an AI-powered ERP platform, identify relevant use cases, and prioritize them based on customer value and business potential.
- You also recognize when external product partnerships can create strategic value and propose suitable approaches for putting them into practice.
- Product organization, leadership & change: You further develop product management, leaders, and structures, and foster ownership, transparency, customer focus, and commercial thinking.
- You foster ownership and a way of working in which ideas are tested early, validated with customers, and further developed based on the insights gained.
- Impact & commercial product management: You evaluate product initiatives, investments, and the portfolio based on clear KPIs, usage, customer value, and financial viability.
- Together with the CTO, you will further develop how success is measured, taking into account learning time, implementation effort, and quality.
- Company Development: As a member of the management team, you bring the product perspective to key business decisions and actively help shape the strategic development of Dr. Klein Wowi Digital AG.
Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- You translate company goals and market, customer, and technology trends into a clear product strategy and well-founded priorities.
- You have already used AI agents in real-world product development processes and driven their adoption within the team.
- You can independently develop testable, interactive prototypes using AI agents and validate them with customers, while confidently distinguishing between a compelling demo, genuine customer value, and production readiness.
- You understand how specifications, coding agents, tests, and reviews work together, and can collaborate with Engineering to develop implementation packages that are clear in scope and verifiable, without having to take responsibility for the technical architecture yourself.
- Through your interactions with customers, management, and teams, you build trust and bring diverse interests together to reach sustainable decisions.
- You understand modern software and platform models and can translate technological developments and AI use cases into tangible customer benefits and business opportunities.
- You also recognize when external product partners can create strategic value.
- You have built or developed product teams and organizations and guided people through change and transformation processes.
- You embed new skills, responsibilities, and ways of working sustainably, rather than merely introducing new tools.
- You make decisions based on market potential, customer value, costs, and profitability, work toward clear goals and KPIs, and keep the company’s long-term success in mind.
- You combine strategic foresight with strong execution skills, lead customer conversations yourself, validate product ideas, and actively drive prioritization decisions.
- You lead by example in your use of AI, critically review its outputs, handle data responsibly, and are willing to develop a thorough understanding of the processes used by housing companies and cooperatives.
Experience
- You have several years of experience as a CPO, VP Product, or Head of Product at a B2B SaaS or software company—ideally in the ERP space—and have been responsible for complex software products, platforms, or product portfolios.
- You have experience working closely with enterprise customers and translating real-world problems into testable hypotheses and product decisions.
- Ideally, you have experience in the real estate industry, for example in residential property management or the PropTech sector, and an understanding of the processes used by housing companies and cooperatives.
What we offer
- Quality Time: Trust-based working hours, remote work, workations, sabbaticals, and flexible planning of your 30 vacation days, plus the option to take 20 additional flexible vacation days.
- Mobility: Would you like to ride your own (e-)bike to your next appointment? Hypoport can help finance your HypoBike.
- If you’d rather use public transport, we’ll subsidize your Deutschlandticket.
- Hardware made just for you: The choice is yours—you get a say in the hardware you use.
- Self-organization: We don’t micromanage — we work independently and focus on results.
- Teamwork: At our company, people shape the business—not the other way around.
- We create room for growth that every team can fill with initiative and a sense of ownership.
