About the role

We're looking for a Staff Technical Product Manager (d/f/m) to set the vision and long-term strategy for vehicle data at mobile. de — one of the most business-critical platform capabilities we own.

Vehicle data is the foundation beneath nearly every experience on mobile. de: listing creation, search, pricing, dealer tooling, and the customer-facing products millions of buyers and sellers rely on.

As Staff TPM, you'll define what this capability should become over the next several years and shape the technical and product decisions that get us there — modernization, scalability, reliability, and making our data effortless to consume for internal and external stakeholders.

As a senior individual contributor, you'll lead through influence by setting technical direction that shapes the roadmaps of multiple teams, aligning senior stakeholders across engineering, business development, marketing, and sales, and setting the standard for how mobile. de treats vehicle data end to end.

This is for someone who's energised by owning a technical product that isn't directly customer-facing but forms the foundation for many products and who wants to shape where it goes, with the mandate to make it happen.
