About the job

As a Senior Product Manager, you take on end-to-end responsibility for one or more products from the product portfolio – including content-related, qualitative, and economic responsibility.

You manage particularly demanding, business-critical, or strategically relevant products with significant professional, regulatory, or economic impact and act as a professional point of reference within the product organisation.
