CEEZER is building enterprise-grade infrastructure for Climate Performance Asset management, helping the world's largest companies source and manage carbon credits, Energy Attribution Certificates (EAC), and Sustainable Aviation Fuel certificates (SAFc). The company serves major organizations including Deutsche Telekom, LGT, and Nasdaq, hosting 50Mt+ of vetted carbon credits backed by sophisticated data and institutional-grade risk management. You will report directly to company leadership and lead a small, senior product team in a collaborative, fast-moving, VC-funded startup. The role centers on owning product strategy and holding it against business outcomes: identifying where the company wins and loses, where margin can grow, and where efficiency can improve—all tested against deal data, RFP outcomes, customer conversations, and delivery obligations. Key responsibilities include: - Own product strategy and validate it against business metrics: revenue drivers, spread and gross margin behavior, renewal and retention dynamics - Lead and develop the product team (product managers and designers, mid-level to principal), setting quality standards and conducting hands-on work reviews - Drive prioritization: decide what gets built, dropped, and sequenced based on data; make trade-offs explicit to leadership; grow each PM's decision-making capability - Transform complex cross-functional workflows (sales, risk screening, sourcing, operations, finance) into a platform that enables growth and operational efficiency - Partner closely with the SVP Tech on architecture, data, and automation strategy; bring technical depth to shape sequencing, cost, and trade-offs - Spend real time with enterprise buyers and internal teams to understand procurement and portfolio lifecycle firsthand - Act as a strategic counterpart to leadership on commercial mechanics and revenue dynamics The company's revenue is concentrated in a small number of large, long-term commitments. The core value proposition is certainty: that a portfolio designed today remains credible five years forward. The platform ensures this promise scales as deal volume grows faster than headcount. REQUIREMENTS: - 8+ years in product management, including 3+ years leading PMs and designers in complex B2B, marketplace, fintech, logistics, procurement, or other regulated and operationally heavy environments - Proven experience with products where the workflow is the product and part of delivery is a human service - Proven experience leading a team while staying hands-on, and growing PMs and Product Designers through coaching and structured feedback - Exceptional analytical skills and attention to detail; ability to move from data, deal, and customer call to clear strategy - Skilled in building product systems and rituals that keep teams fast, decisions grounded in data, and delivery working as the company scales - Clear communicator, comfortable building trust with C-level stakeholders and enterprise customers - Curiosity for complex scientific, operational, and financial domains; drive to build rare expertise in a market still being defined - Based in Berlin with a valid working permit in Germany
