Founding Product Manager (m/w/d)

Join Auxilius.ai as a Founding Product Manager in Munich, Germany. Leverage your product expertise in an AI-native startup focused on Governance, Risk, and Compliance.

• Own product discovery and be accountable for outcomes — we hand you problems and constraints, not solutions. You're measured on the value you create for customers and the business, not on features shipped.
• Own the roadmap and prioritization — driven by customer evidence and company strategy, not by whoever shouts loudest. We do not want a sales-driven roadmap, and neither will you.
• Drive customer discovery yourself — you'll be in front of auditors, risk managers, and compliance teams regularly. We have strong customer relationships and access is provided, but you make it happen; nobody hands it to you.
• Build the product operating model from scratch — discovery cadence, how we decide what to build, how product, design, and engineering work as one team. You're our first PM; you set the standard.
• Work as one team with design and engineering — addressing value, usability, and feasibility together, not throwing requirements over a wall.
• Partner with our CEO on go-to-market and pricing — you bring the product and customer evidence; he owns the commercial side. You'll collaborate closely.
• Become a GRC expert, fast — controls, RACM, audit evidence, the regulatory frameworks. We'll backstop you, but you'll own becoming fluent.

• You've worked inside a genuinely empowered product organization, and you can show us what good product discovery actually looked like there — we care more about what you've shipped and the outcomes you drove than years on a CV
• A track record of owning outcomes, not just shipping features — you can point to a decision you made from customer evidence and the result it drove
• Strong product experience in B2B SaaS
• You drive your own access to customers — proactive, relentless about learning from real users, never waiting to be handed them
• Comfort being the sole PM with no playbook — you can stand up the operating model, not just operate within one
• You learn deep, complex, regulated domains fast — and you enjoy it
• Strong product judgment under ambiguity — you run discovery on real customers, build conviction, and know when to commit
• German at C1 and English at C1 — you'll run discovery with German-speaking GRC teams and work with an international team daily
• Comfort working closely with technical founders and engineering teams
• Experience with AI-native products or LLM-powered features
• Exposure to GRC, compliance, audit, risk, or regulated industries (regtech, Big4, infosec)

• Full ownership of the product as our first Product Manager, working directly with the founding team from day one
• Work at the frontier of how AI-native products are built
• A steep learning curve at the intersection of product, enterprise GRC, and AI
• A clear path to Head of Product as the company and the product team scale — your trajectory tracks the company's
• Direct access to real enterprise GRC customers to learn from and build for
• Hybrid in Munich — minimum three days per week in our Munich North office. In-person matters while we build trust and you absorb the domain
• Relocation support — if you're moving to Munich, we'll cover the moving company
