Job Description:

We are looking for a Technical Product Manager (d/f/m) to join our Dealer Product Team organisation. In this role, you will take ownership of our central Vehicle Data API —a complex, business-critical platform capability that powers key experiences and processes across mobile.de. You’ll work cross-functionally with engineering, design, business development, marketing, and sales to increase dealer and mobile.de business value—by ensuring our vehicle data is reliable, scalable, and easy to consume for internal and external stakeholders. This is a role for someone who’s comfortable owning a technical product that isn’t directly customer-facing, but forms the foundation for many customer-facing products.

Job Responsibility:

Own and evolve the vehicle taxonomy and attribute coverage (make/model/trim/options)
Define and enforce data quality foundations for listing creation, including validation rules and quality thresholds
Lead external vehicle data partnerships: requirements, data exchange specs, and contract/vendor management
Partner with engineering on data ingestion pipelines, validation routines, and operational quality controls
Evaluate AI/ML opportunities for automation of data enrichment
Lead and empower a team of ~6 developers by providing direction, context, prioritization, and clarity
Take technical product ownership of ~40 artefacts that touch the core of the mobile.de platform (e.g., APIs, schemas, data contracts, tooling, documentation, and supporting components)
Translate business needs into technical roadmaps, maintain a clean backlog, and ensure reliable quarterly deliverables
Align and communicate across departments—ensuring shared understanding of priorities, constraints, dependencies, and trade-offs
Manage a broad stakeholder set by translating complex technical topics into clear, decision-ready language and translating business goals into actionable engineering work
Help shape the vision and roadmap for Vehicle Data – both product-wise and tech-wise—including modernization, scalability, reliability, and usability improvements

Requirements:

Solid experience as a Technical Product Manager in a platform, infrastructure, or API-heavy environment
Strong analytical skills—comfortable working with large datasets
Experience with B2B / API products involving external vendors/partners and negotiating requirements or data contracts
Understanding of data integration patterns (REST APIs, batch imports, validation/quality checks)
Strong ability to work with engineering teams on technical concepts such as APIs, service boundaries, data models, reliability, and operational excellence
Ability to create clarity in ambiguity: crisp problem framing, prioritisation, and decision-making under constraints
Strong communication skills—able to simplify complex technical topics without losing accuracy
Experience translating business goals into roadmaps, execution plans, and outcome-oriented delivery

Nice to have:

Experience working with REST APIs and API lifecycle management (contracts, versioning, documentation, backwards compatibility, consumer-driven changes)
Passion for automotive—or genuine curiosity and willingness to learn
confidence in speaking german is a plus
familiarity with VIN decoding and/or providers like DAT/JATO
experience applying AI/ML to enrichment/classification
background in marketplaces/automotive retail

What we offer:

Recharge with 28 days of paid time off
Stay mobile with a €50 monthly transportation/mobility allowance
Keep growing with a development budget and access to coaching
Family first - enjoy up to 12 (non-birth parent) or 20 (birth parent) weeks of fully paid parental leave
Learn anytime, anywhere with our online and offline library
Get rewarded with an attractive base salary and participation in our annual incentive plans
Work from anywhere - up to 20 days per year from wherever you feel most productive
Prioritize your well-being with a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme for you and your immediate family
