Product Manager

About vialytics

We’ve created an AI-based solution for a decades old problem: municipal road management. We believe that intelligent road management is crucial for creating safer, more efficient, and sustainable communities. Our product is intuitive, makes our customers’ lives infinitely easier, is award-winning and has been adopted across multiple countries in Europe. vialytics was founded in 2018 in Stuttgart, Germany and recently closed a Series A round of $10m to support our expansion into the US market.

We’ve had some exciting early successes in the US and we’re looking for our first US-based Product Manager to join our team. If you’re eager to use technology to solve real world issues, obsessed with creating incredible digital products, have a high level of customer focus, and ready to join a high performing team to bring a much needed solution to the US, we encourage you to apply to join us.

Location

While our US team is remotely distributed, you’ll need to be located in the Northeast to align with our German team’s working hours and for ease of travel to meet with customers a few times per month. Please expect early morning (7:30 / 8am) meetings, to travel at least two times per month to meet in person with customers, and to collaborate with a Germany-based Product Engineering team (English speaking) in addition to the US-based Sales and Customer Success team.

The Role

As our first US-based Product Manager at vialytics, you’ll serve as a critical early member of our team. You’ll work closely with the Product and Engineering teams in Germany as a Product owner to ensure we’re creating elegant solutions for our customers while also working as the primary Product contact for our US team and customers.

In this role, you will: 

• Work as the Product Owner in a Product Team of three developers and one UX Designer
• Take care of strategic product enhancements
• Work closely with US customers and share your insights with the other two product teams
