Product Manager (part-time)

Intro

BidX is looking for a

Product Manager in part-time

(~16 hours/week) to

own the bridge

between our commercial teams and our developers. You'll turn a stream of business needs - from account managers, clients, and leadership - into a prioritized, well-specified backlog the development team can execute against, and you'll own the system that decides what gets built next.

This is a

high-ownership role

for someone who is energized by building order out of ambiguity. You won't be slotting into a mature product machine - you'll be building the machinery: the intake funnel, the scoring model, and the cadence that make prioritization fast, consistent, and defensible.

Your area of responsibility will include the following

Own prioritization end-to-end.

Design and run a repeatable system to score, sequence, and communicate what gets built - replacing case-by-case decisions with a transparent, defensible process.

Translate in both directions.

Take business cases from account managers and clients and turn them into clear specs for developers; translate technical constraints back into terms the business understands.

Spec features and close gaps.

Write clear specifications for new features and improvements - from campaign-creation flows to reporting and automation.

Coordinate migrations and dev dependencies.

Keep multi-step technical initiatives moving, manage exceptions, and chase blockers before they stall.

Own request intake and triage.

Run backlog review, deduplicate tracking across boards, and evaluate a public roadmap/upvote tool so clients and Account Managers have a clear front door.

Support strategic product bets.

Contribute specs, feedback loops, and coordination for major initiatives - including our AI product layer.

Keep product operations honest.

Maintain status alignment across boards, clear release notes, and a trustworthy backlog.

What you need to bring

Must-have

Structured thinking.

You can take a messy stream of requests and impose order - categorize, score, sequence, and defend the sequence. This is the single most important trait.

Strong communication across audiences.

You write clear specs, run a clean backlog, and can hold a conversation with a developer and an account manager in the same afternoon without losing either. You're comfortable pushing back and saying "not now" with a reason.

Ownership and follow-through.

You chase blockers, keep things from going silent, and close loops.

Comfortable operating under direction.

You bring structure and a point of view while executing against priorities set by leadership. You want autonomy on how, not final say on what.

Fluent AI usage.

You work AI into your daily workflow - not as a novelty, but as leverage. You understand agents and MCPs (Model Context Protocol), can design and run AI workflows to automate research, spec-writing, triage, and reporting, and can reason about where AI fits (and where it doesn't) in a product process.

Strong bonus

Amazon Advertising knowledge.

Familiarity with Sponsored Products/Brands/Display, DSP, bidding strategies, budget/lookback mechanics, ASIN structures, and AMC. This lets you reason about trade-offs independently and is the highest-leverage bonus.

Nice to have

Technical literacy -

enough to talk credibly with engineers about APIs, data models, migrations, and feasibility. You don't need to code, but you shouldn't be intimidated by a technical conversation. Familiarity with SQL/MariaDB, data pipelines, and third-party APIs is a plus.

German

• the dev team is Darmstadt-based and much internal communication is in German; Account Managers are international. Bilingual DE/EN is a practical advantage, not a must

• B2B SaaS product experience
• , ideally in ad-tech, e-commerce, or the Amazon ecosystem.
• n8n
• (or similar workflow automation)

• hands-on experience building automations in

• n8n, Make, Zapier, or comparable tools, especially wiring AI steps into multi-step workflows.
• The prioritization mandate
• No formal prioritization system exists today — building one is the core deliverable. In your first

weeks we'd expect you to stand up

• A single intake funnel
• for requests from Account Managers, clients, leadership, and dev, so nothing lives only in a chat thread.
• A scoring model
• weighting business impact, reach, effort/feasibility, and strategic fit (a RICE- or weighted-scoring-style framework is a reasonable start).
• A review-and-communicate cadence
• tied into existing product and Customer Growth rhythms.

Transparency

• back to the business
• so Account Managers and clients can see where a request stands.
• Leadership keeps the final call on priorities; you own the machinery that makes those calls fast, consistent, and defensible.
• Who thrives here
• Someone unusually organized who writes well and is energized by building order rather than
• needing a mature product org to slot into - who has been the connective tissue between
• engineering and a commercial team before. This role is roughly 70% execution and ordermaking,
• not vision decks. If you love backlog craft, clear specs, and closing loops, you'll do well.
• Why us?
• Hybrid work - we offer you the perfect blend of flexibility and in-person interaction.
• An ambitious and open-minded team that works together on innovative solutions and supports one another.
• Modern workplace equipment with Apple devices, so you can work efficiently and comfortably at all times.
• A varied workday - with us, exciting tasks are guaranteed, but boredom is not.
• Regular team events in a relaxed atmosphere to strengthen team spirit and celebrate successes.
• An international, diverse team that brings together different perspectives and learns from one another.
