Product Manager (d/f/m)

Hypofriend is a next-generation online mortgage advisor using proprietary technology to find customers the best mortgage possible and give holistic financial advice. Unlike other mortgage advisors or brokers, we use financial insights to guide our customers. By joining us, you will be able to tap into these insights and be part of our path to transform the industry. We provide customers with tools that help them navigate the entire home buying process, from making buying decisions and give advice on the next steps to build wealth in Germany. As Product Manager you own a slice of that machine end-to-end: the internal platform our advisors and operations team run on, and the AI and automation that make the mortgage process faster and less manual. You will work closely with engineering, design, advisors, and the founders. Tasks Own your product area end-to-end — from problem discovery and prioritisation to spec, launch, and measurement. Build for our advisors and ops team. Improve the CRM, advisory and application workflows, document handling, and lender submission so advisors spend their time advising, not administrating. Ship AI and automation into the mortgage journey — document extraction and verification, AI-assisted advisory prep, decision support, and agentic workflows — with clear guardrails for accuracy and compliance. Connect the dots across the funnel. Understand how the customer-facing product, advisor tooling, and lender/partner integrations affect each other, and make trade-offs across them. Learn the business deeply enough to find the levers. Understand our advice and sales principles, how the market works, and how advisors, banks and agents actually move a case forward. Use that to spot where the business loses value — drop-offs, rework, waiting time — and where a product change unblocks it. A roadmap here is a set of bets on levers, not a wish list of features. Define success with numbers. Set metrics per initiative (conversion, time-to-offer, advisor capacity per case, automation rate, error rate), instrument them, and report honestly on outcomes. Write clear specs and keep delivery moving. Groom the backlog, run rituals, unblock engineers, and make the call when scope has to be cut. Work within a regulated domain. Partner with compliance and our lending partners so what we ship holds up under German mortgage regulation. Requirements 2–4 years in product management, ideally on a product with real operational complexity (fintech, marketplace, internal tooling, or workflow automation). Comfort with numbers and data — you can write your own SQL queries or analyses rather than waiting for someone else. A practical grasp of what today's AI models can and cannot be trusted with, and how to design around that. A solid UX foundation — you understand how interface and interaction design shape behaviour, and you can design flows that guide advisors and the CSM team towards the right action instead of just exposing more fields and buttons. Strong written communication and the ability to make complex financial mechanics feel simple. Structured, self-directed, and comfortable in a small team where you own the outcome, not just the ticket. Fluent English. German is a strong plus (our lenders, contracts, and regulation are German). Interest in mortgages, real estate, or personal finance — the domain rewards people who go deep. Nice to have Experience with process automation, document AI, or LLM-based product features in production. Background in lending, insurance, or another regulated financial product. Some technical fluency — you can read an API contract and discuss architecture trade-offs with engineers.

High independence and end-to-end ownership: you take a problem from discovery to launch to measurement yourself, without layers of approval in between. Your users sit next to you. Our advisors and CSM team are the people your product serves, so feedback comes in hours rather than after a research cycle — and you see the effect of what you shipped almost immediately. Big scope, real impact. Three brands and one shared financial picture — a wide surface for a team this size, and decisions that visibly move the business. Fast pace.
