Product Manager

The Descartes

Role Description Descartes pixi™ is a flexible, scalable Warehouse Management System (WMS) for eCommerce order fulfilment, trusted by merchants in the DACH market (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) to automate their warehouse and logistics processes from order receipt through shipment and returns, and to scale through seasonal peaks. Your mission: grow adoption, retention, and revenue of a mature, market-proven platform while modernising it – with automation and AI – without breaking what customers depend on every day. This is not a greenfield role. It is a role for a Product Manager with high agency who finds the harder, more interesting problem in evolving a product with a loyal installed base, real revenue, and real operational stakes – and who treats real autonomy as something to use, not wait on. What You'll Do - Own the Product Lifecycle. - Own Commercial Outcomes. - Live with Your Customers. - Master the Ecosystem. - Modernise with Judgment. - Build for Scale. - Leverage the Portfolio. - Execute with Focus. What Success Looks Like - First 90 days: Know the top 20 customers and their workflows, have an instrumented baseline for your key metrics, and pressure-test the current roadmap against it. - 6 months: Ship your first revenue or retention initiative with a measurable result. - 12 months: Demonstrable movement on the agreed adoption, retention, and revenue targets, and a roadmap the business trusts. How We Work - Operate with high agency. - Bias toward action. - Outcomes, not output. - Communicate with candour and discipline. Qualifications - 5–7+ years of Product Management experience in B2B SaaS, ideally within eCommerce, fulfilment, logistics, or marketplace platforms. - Fluent German and English language skills (written and spoken) are essential. - A proven track record of delivering measurable improvements in customer growth, retention, monetisation, or operational efficiency. - High agency: a history of creating clarity in ambiguous situations. - Experience managing a mature product or platform. - Working knowledge of the DACH eCommerce ecosystem. - Strong commercial awareness combined with solid technical understanding of SaaS platforms. - Experience using data to drive product decisions. - Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills. - The ability to balance long-term product strategy with pragmatic day-to-day execution. Culture Add: TEAM Values - Demonstrate Transparency. - Strive for Excellence & Expertise. - Take Accountability. - Focus on Metric-Driven Results. Aptitudes - Smart: Able to understand complex systems. - Curious: Eager to understand customer challenges. - Coachable: Open to feedback and committed to ongoing personal and professional development. - Work Ethic: Persistent, self-motivated, and committed to delivering results. - Track Record: Demonstrated success delivering impactful SaaS or eCommerce products. - Responsibility: Takes ownership of products, decisions, and business outcomes. - Honesty: Acts with integrity, transparency, and a customer-first mindset. What's in It for You - Flexible Working: A remote-first environment that supports flexibility. - Professional Growth: Opportunities to develop your career within a growing international SaaS organization. - Meaningful Impact: Shape the future of the pixi platform. - Collaborative Environment: Join a team that values open communication and continuous learning. - Autonomy with Support: Take ownership of your product area while benefiting from strong leadership. Why Join Descartes? This is an opportunity to own a strategically important product area with real autonomy and visibility, inside the world's largest logistics technology portfolio. If you're energised by evolving a product that real businesses depend on every day – and by being measured on the results – we'd love to hear from you. Join Us As we scale, we’re looking for new doers, collaborators and innovators to join Descartes in uniting the people and technology that move the world. We offer competitive compensation, great benefits, remote and flexible work hours, and the opportunity to join a company on an awesome mission with a great existing team and trajectory.

Role Description We’re looking for a Sr. Technical Project Manager (TPM) to drive delivery for complex, cross-functional initiatives—including those involving AI/ML and intelligent automation. You’ll balance scope, timeline, and dependencies while partnering across Engineering, Product, Data, Security, and Operations to deliver high-quality outcomes. This role is ideal for someone who can run tight execution rhythms and understand the unique delivery needs of AI work in the rollout of the AI-Driven SDLC (AIDLC). What You’ll Do - Own end-to-end project execution: plan, schedule, and drive delivery across the full project lifecycle, balancing constraints and keeping work moving forward in partnership with product and engineering counterparts. - Build and maintain project plans, track milestones, and proactively manage risks, issues, and tradeoffs—providing clear stakeholder updates with recommended solutions. - Serve as the PMO lead for the ML's agentic platform and customer-facing products — the structured methodology for developing, testing, deploying, and operating AI agents within MeridianLink’s agentic architecture. - Partner with engineering leads to embed AI into each SDLC phase: requirements (AI-assisted grooming agents), development (co-pilot and Claude Code standards), testing (test-driven development metrics), and release (zero-downtime deployment, feature flag governance). - Establish and continuously improve team processes that increase quality and productivity through process definition, education, and refinement. - Facilitate lightweight agile ceremonies (planning, standups, retrospectives) and drive continuous improvement through retrospective assessments. - Use tools such as Jira (and related reporting) to support teams and enable visibility into progress, capacity, and delivery health. Bridge product and engineering AI alignment. Qualifications - 7+ years of technical program management in a software engineering organization, with at least 2 years in an AI, ML, or platform transformation context. - Demonstrated experience managing AI/ML initiatives or SDLC modernization programs — not just awareness, but delivery ownership. - Fluency with AI-driven SDLC concepts: AI-assisted requirements, co-pilot/code generation tooling, test automation, agentic deployment, and observability. - Ability to translate engineering complexity into executive narratives and vice versa; strong stakeholder management across CTO, VPs, and ICs. - Experience running programs that span multiple scrum teams, including offshore-heavy organizations. - Hands-on with program/project tooling (Jira, Confluence, or equivalents) and familiarity with engineering metrics (DORA, SPACE, or similar frameworks). What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days) - Delivery plans are clear, realistic, and transparent; stakeholders consistently know status, risks, and next steps. - Dependencies are surfaced early and managed actively; team execution rhythms are consistent and effective. - AI-related initiatives have strong delivery hygiene (milestones, measurable outcomes, and aligned execution across data/Product/Engineering). Why This Role You’ll play a pivotal role in delivering cross-functional technology initiatives—and help the organization execute confidently as AI becomes a more central part of products and operations. You’ll bring clarity, momentum, and structure to complex work while partnering with leaders across Engineering, Product, and Data.
