Senior Product Owner / Product Manager - AI / SaaS (m/f/d)

About ainavio

As part of the CODUCT Group, with teams in Germany and Vietnam, ainavio GmbH develops fully automated, AI-based SaaS solutions for retail and e-commerce.

As an AI startup that has already delivered the hardest proof point: product-market fit - from 0 to 1 – we now come to the phase that decides how big this becomes: from 1 to 10. Scaling without losing quality, and professionalizing without giving up the speed of a startup.

Ainavio runs an AI platform for product data automation: raw supplier Excel sheets become optimized, marketplace-ready product data for webshops and marketplaces. We're an international team with locations in Germany and Vietnam — and we're growing steadily: new partners, new customers, new integrations.

Our AI approach: the agentic product data layer

We're not building yet another data editor. At the core of our platform sits a layer of specialized AI agents that handle the product data value chain autonomously — each agent with a clear task, orchestrated into one end-to-end workflow:

• an agent that independently lists products on marketplaces
• an agent that proactively requests missing data from suppliers
• an agent that adjusts and optimizes product images
• additional agents for new tasks, integrations, and marketplaces

The exciting — and the hard — part lies in the orchestration: How do agents interlock cleanly? Where does something run fully automatically, and where does a human stay in the loop? How do we ensure quality, reliability, and traceability so customers trust autonomous steps? And how do we keep the system modular so we can extend it agent by agent? These are exactly the questions you'll shape as Product Manager.

Aufgaben

Your role

You own the entire product lifecycle and report directly to the CEO. You're the central bridge between Sales, Support, integration teams, and external partners on one side, and product development on the other.

We already have POs, teams, and processes in place — your mission is to take them to the next level and help drive the professionalization of our SaaS business.

Your responsibilities

• You capture requirements from Sales, Support, integration teams, and external partners in a structured way, challenge them, prioritize, and translate them into a clear roadmap
• You raise existing product processes to the next level of maturity — requirements intake, prioritization, roadmapping, release communication — scalable for further growth
• You lead and develop the existing POs and teams — sharpening structures rather than reinventing them
• You actively shape our agentic product data layer: from discovery of new agents through quality assurance to rollout
• You help drive SaaS professionalization beyond the product itself — billing/pricing, customer onboarding, and the operational processes of a mature SaaS company
• You work data-driven: you define metrics, validate hypotheses, and justify trade-offs transparently (including a clear "no")
• You roll up your sleeves and pitch in hands-on when something isn't working — rather than just delegating

Qualifikation

• Native-level German speakers
• Several years of experience as a Product Manager in SaaS/B2B, ideally in the scaling phase ("1 to 10") and real-world experience in building AI products
• Demonstrable end-to-end ownership of the product lifecycle (discovery to iteration)
• Experience building and professionalizing scalable product processes
• Experience leading and developing product/engineering teams, ideally distributed and international (in our case: Germany & Vietnam)
• Genuine understanding of and enthusiasm for AI agents, with a feel for how to design a product around orchestrated, modular agent systems (interplay, human-in-the-loop, quality assurance, reliability)
• AI tools firmly embedded in your own daily work — you actively shape how product work and software development are fundamentally changing
• Confident communication on equal footing with the CEO and leadership

Nice to have

• E-commerce ecosystem: webshops (Shopify, Shopware) and marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, otto) including their data requirements
• Knowledge of product data standards (PIM, BMEcat, ETIM, GS1)
• Technical depth to engage with engineering on equal footing
• Experience with ML/LLM products and handling non-determinism & quality assurance
• Experience with SaaS operations: billing/subscription systems, pricing models, onboarding flows
• Experience building partner/integration ecosystems
• Experience coaching/mentoring POsComfort with ambiguity and rapid change in a scale-up

Location

• This position is based either in Germany and Vietnam. Relocation to Vietnam is also welcome, as part of our German-Vietnamese team.

Benefits

• A role with real impact — your work directly drives our future growth
• A company that decides fast, communicates clearly, and values ownership
• Access to cutting-edge tech, including AI tools
• Training and development in your field — continuously, not as a one-off perk
• Team events — digital, on-site, professional, and sometimes just for fun
• International, supportive colleagues who prefer solving problems over creating them
• Flexible work hours, hybrid mode (onsite and home office)
• Dynamic, fun, and agile environment, perfect for sharing and creativity
• Additional premium health insurance (Vietnam location)
• Enjoy a stress-free and comfortable commute to and from work with our Grab services sponsor (Vietnamese Uber / Vietnam location)
• Visa and Work permit sponsor to work in Vietnam if necessary

With us, you'll find a team that supports each other and pursues its goals together. We value honest communication, pragmatic solutions, and a work environment where you enjoy what you do. Become part of our team and help us shape the future of innovative projects!
