Full description
Your mission
JTL is one of the leading e-commerce platforms in the DACH market. Thousands of merchants run their business on our ERP, shop and fulfillment products every day, and ERP is the heart of it all: our largest product area and the anchor of the whole portfolio. We are now taking it through its biggest shift yet: from our proven on-premise ERP to a true cloud product. As Group Product Manager ERP, you own this area end to end: the strategy, the roadmap, and the team of product managers behind both the established product and the cloud transformation.
What you'll do
- You own product strategy and roadmap for JTL's ERP area, covering the established JTL-Wawi and the new ERP Cloud, and align both with the company's strategy.
- You drive the ERP Cloud transformation from the product side: from MVP to a scalable cloud product, including a credible migration path for the existing merchant base, while the established product keeps delivering for the customers who run on it today.
- You build, lead and develop the ERP product team, currently five product managers: clear goals, direct feedback, hiring, and individual development.
- You own prioritization and outcomes across the ERP teams: you allocate capacity between transformation and established product, arbitrate priority conflicts among your PMs, and hold the team accountable to outcomes, not output, with goals and KPI trees that make adoption, retention and revenue impact visible.
- You ensure your PMs run rigorous discovery and coach them on method and quality; decisions in your area are evidence-based.
- You are a credible counterpart to Engineering leadership: you align priorities, product decisions and delivery expectations at eye level, and keep a roadmap that is credible to senior stakeholders and resilient to challenge.
- You partner with Marketing, Sales, GTM and Support as the voice of the ERP area: you create transparency on roadmap and trade-offs, ensure launches are commercially prepared, and keep stakeholders up to C-level informed.
- You drive AI enablement in your area: you role-model AI usage, embed it into your team's PM workflows (research, analysis, documentation), and make sure AI opportunities in the ERP products are identified and executed.
Your profile
- 3-5 years of experience in product management in B2B SaaS or complex product environments, including several years leading product managers with direct people responsibility: hiring, feedback and development.
- You have taken an established product through a major platform shift, ideally desktop or on-premise to cloud/SaaS, from the product side, and you know the dual-track reality of running today's business while building tomorrow's.
- A track record of prioritizing under pressure: you have made capacity trade-offs transparent and defensible, up to C-level.
- Outcome orientation and data literacy: you have run teams on KPI trees, adoption and retention goals, and course-corrected on evidence.
- Domain depth in ERP, commerce operations or adjacent workflow-heavy B2B software (orders, invoicing, stock, fulfillment) is a strong plus; genuine curiosity for merchant workflows is a must.
- Hands-on experience using AI in your own work and driving its adoption in a team's workflows and products.
- German is a strong plus: English is our internal working language, but redesigning deeply German merchant workflows requires German.
What you'll find You lead the largest product area of a profitable, growing company and own its most important transformation end to end, with a direct line to the VP Product and a real mandate over roadmap and team. Remote-first, with occasional on-site days, mainly in our office in Hürth (NRW), for workshops, planning and team days.
Why us?
- Remote-first within Germany, with the option to work remotely from eligible countries for up to 180 days per year
- Meal allowance of up to €115 net per month
- Ergonomic workspace allowance for your home office setup
- Regular team events, company-wide gatherings, and summer and Christmas parties to stay connected as a remote-first company
