Lead Product Management (a)

About the job

Lead Product Management (a)

Workload: 80 – 100%

Start: immediately or by arrangement

Are you passionate about Product Management, eager to take on responsibility and actively shape not only products but also the way Product Management is practised?

As Lead Product Management, you take on the professional responsibility for our Product Management in the Abacus area. You will have the freedom to shape and further develop our Product Management and the AXsolutions portfolio together with your team. In doing so, you identify market opportunities and customer needs, bring in new ideas, and ensure that these turn into concrete solutions.

In your role, you work closely with Abacus, our partners, and various departments within Axept. At the same time, you stay close to operational business and drive selected topics forward yourself. Additionally, for this position, you can choose which location (Zurich, St. Gallen, Bern or Basel) will be your home base (occasional willingness to travel to external events, etc.)

YOUR FUTURE TASKS

• Keeping an eye on the market: You recognise customer needs, market opportunities, and new software solutions and derive ideas and concrete measures for our product portfolio from them
• Shaping Product Management: You influence the further development of our Product Management and create the structures and working methods with which we will develop our product portfolio even more purposefully in the future
• Driving the portfolio forward: You develop our AXsolutions portfolio together with the Product Management team and ensure alignment with our corporate goals
• Developing partnerships: You further develop strategic relationships with partners and software manufacturers, evaluate new products and partnerships, and participate in strategic discussions and negotiations at management level
• Networking Axept: You identify synergies within Axept and actively promote exchange and collaboration across our business units
• Professional leadership: You take on operational responsibility in Product Management and independently drive measures, products, and partnerships forward
• Networking: You represent the Product Management area at internal and external events

YOUR SKILLS AND STRENGTHS:

• You have several years of experience in Product Management or a comparable role in the software or IT environment. Experience in the Abacus environment is a great plus but not a requirement
• You think entrepreneurially and strategically but do not lose sight of operational implementation
• You have a good sense of market and customer needs and can classify and prioritise different requirements sensibly
• You are strong in communication and confident in exchanges with employees, management, customers, software manufacturers, and partners
• You work in a structured and independent manner and keep an overview even with different topics and stakeholders
• Your colleagues look forward to support from an uncomplicated person who gladly takes responsibility, drives things forward, and also enjoys a good laugh

OUR PROMISE

• A demanding but super exciting job, into which we will train you well on site. And once you are confident, good development opportunities.
• We are a bit embarrassed to praise ourselves for probably the best team spirit far and wide. So here we simply quote a five-star feedback from Kununu: "Team spirit is highly valued." True!
• From zero to one hundred in 20… no, not seconds, years. We are fast but have grown healthily and are well organised. Yet something is still like in our beginnings: the structures are lean and you easily find the right contacts.
• In our area, we are among the larger players and are known for our high quality. No wonder we are repeatedly recognised as an outstanding implementation partner.
• A good salary that you can help determine with your performance. Daily sickness allowance and accident insurance? We cover that. Together with other benefits, that quickly adds up to a few thousand a year.

And the (a) in the job title? It is our statement for diversity. We value mixed teams. Age, origin, skin colour or gender do not matter to us. With us, (a)ll are welcome who help us move forward with their talent.
