Technical Product Manager (f/m/d)

The Role

As a Technical Product Manager at Zenjob, you will be a key player in driving the development of our platform capabilities.

This role requires a mix of strategic thinking, technical understanding, and hands-on execution.

This role is designed for a Senior TPM with a strong engineering background or someone who is extremely comfortable engaging in deep technical discussions with engineers.

You’ll act as the strategic link between platform and product, ensuring alignment with Zenjob's overall strategy while driving technical clarity and excellence.

In this role, you will be leading the development of a platform product that evaluates supply and demand indicators (e. g., talent availability, job start time, fulfillment rates) to inform key staffing decisions, such as talent allocation, shift prioritization, and demand forecasting.

• What you’ll be doing
• Develop a deep understanding of the needs of stream-aligned teams and the broader business objectives.

You will work on a highly technical product that delivers business value through our product.

• Build a new platform product from the ground up to provide actionable insights for staffing decisions.

This product will optimize the fulfillment of all shifts with suitable talents, ensuring they meet customer expectations for productivity and performance.

• Use your gained knowledge to define team priorities, success metrics, and product goals, ensuring they are aligned with Zenjob's overall strategy.

You’ll take ownership of the platform roadmap, setting clear objectives that balance short-term delivery with long-term scalability.

• Oversee the smooth and efficient go-live of new platform features, ensuring minimal disruption to stream-aligned teams.
• Work closely with your colleagues from Product, Engineering, Design and Data, providing feedback, input, and critical reviews of data-driven initiatives.

Your collaboration will ensure that platform capabilities are informed by data insights and that technical decisions are supported by sound analysis.

• What you’ll bring
• A strong understanding of technical platforms gained through a degree in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, OR through at least three years of experience as a Technical Product Manager working on platform development, technical infrastructure, or developer tools.

Experience as a developer or engineering lead is a strong plus.

• A strong sense of ownership and accountability — you take responsibility for driving initiatives from start to finish, even when faced with ambiguity.

You can work independently, prioritize effectively, and consistently deliver results that drive business impact.

• Fluency in English is required as it is the primary language of our global, cross-functional teams.

You have the ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• German language skills are a plus.
