Technical Product Manager
Indexed description
On the ground: close to engineering and design, writing crisp PRDs, running design reviews, unblocking the team, and making sure we ship on time.
In the air: in the room with founders and C-level, challenging the roadmap, questioning initiatives that don't add up, and raising the hand early when things start to derail.
This is not a ticket-shuffler role. We don't need someone to "manage the backlog." We need someone who owns the product outcome end-to-end, thinks like a founder, and has the technical depth to push back on engineering trade-offs and the product instinct to push back on the CEO when needed.
If you're a senior PO who has plateaued and wants more strategic weight, or a Head of Product at a smaller stage looking for hands-on impact again, this is for you.
What You'll Do
Day-to-day execution (≈60% of the time)
- Own the product discovery → delivery loop for your area: from problem framing to PRD to launch.
- Write PRDs that engineers actually want to read: clear problem, scoped solution, acceptance criteria, edge cases, non-goals.
- Run design reviews with the design team — challenge UX decisions, defend the user, kill scope creep.
- Sit with engineering daily. Know the state of every initiative without needing a status meeting.
- Spot risks early. When a deliverable is slipping, you raise it on day 2, not on launch week.
- Define and track product metrics. Know whether what we shipped actually moved the needle.
- Be a real participant in C-level product and roadmap discussions — not a note-taker.
- Challenge the roadmap. If an initiative doesn't have a clear hypothesis or measurable outcome, say so.
- Translate business strategy into product bets, and product reality back into business trade-offs.
- Bring outside-in thinking: competitive context, user research, technical trends.
- Help shape what we don't build, not just what we do.
- 5+ years in product roles, with at least 2 years in a senior PO / Lead PM / Product Manager position at a startup or fast-moving tech company.
- Strong technical literacy: you can read an architecture diagram, understand API trade-offs, and have a useful conversation about technical debt without an engineer translating.
- Proven track record of shipping products end-to-end (not just features inside someone else's vision).
- Excellent written communication. Your PRDs and docs should reduce ambiguity, not add to it.
- Comfortable challenging founders, engineers, and designers — respectfully, with data and reasoning.
- High attention to detail. You catch the inconsistency in the spec before it becomes a bug in production.
- Curious by default. You ask "why" more than "when."
- Up to date on the state-of-the-art AI tooling for product work, and actively using it. You don't wait for a workflow to be "official" before improving it — you experiment, measure, and adopt what works.
- Willing to redefine how product work gets done. If a part of the job — discovery, PRDs, specs, design QA, release notes — can be augmented or rebuilt with AI to make the team faster and better, you're the one prototyping it, not waiting for someone else to.
- Past experience as a software engineer, technical consultant, or in a deeply technical product (devtools, platforms, infra, AI, fintech, healthtech).
- Experience working directly with C-level in a small company environment.
- Familiarity with modern product practices: continuous discovery, opportunity solution trees, JTBD, outcome-based roadmapping.
- Experience in our domain [e.g. SaaS B2B, healthtech, AI-native products].
- Small team, low process, high ownership. We don't do Jira theater.
- Direct feedback culture. We say things to each other, not about each other.
- Speed matters, but quality and clarity of thinking matter more.
- AI-native by default. Every role here is expected to push the boundary of what's possible with current tools — not just use them, but rethink the workflow around them.
- Hybrid setup based in Madrid. At least one day per week in the office — for product, strategy, and team work that's better done in person.
