Product Manager 80-100% (m/w/d)

You combine strategic foresight with implementation strength. As a Senior Product Manager, you take on end-to-end responsibility for one or more products from the product portfolio - including content, quality, and economic responsibility. You lead particularly demanding, business-critical, or strategically relevant products with high technical, regulatory, or economic significance and act as a technical reference point within the product organization. You develop a clear product vision and strategy and ensure through active lifecycle management that your products are developed sustainably in a technically sensible and technologically viable manner, taking available budgets into account. In a highly regulated environment, you react proactively to legal changes, changing customer needs, and technological developments. In doing so, you balance stability and innovation - with the goal of securing the existing customer base in the long term and continuously developing the products towards the future.
