Senior / Principal Product Manager (m/f/d) - US Marketplace Experience

Chrono24 is the world’s leading online marketplace for luxury watches, connecting buyers and sellers from over 80 countries. We’re a fast-growing international tech company headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany, with a passionate team that puts our customers first every day.

You report to the CPO, with a dotted line to the GM US. As part of the P&T team, you own the product direction for the topics that shape the US buyer and dealer experience, and you are accountable for driving our P&T Initiatives within the US market.
 
Day to day, you work with a small, dedicated, AI-native tech team. Think of it as a speedboat next to the main platform: independent enough to ship quickly, connected enough to stay aligned.

• Align and Own the US roadmap: Own the US marketplace experience roadmap and keep it tied to US growth targets.
• Balance quick wins and scalable bets: Ship small, reversible improvements within weeks, and build larger capabilities designed to integrate into the main platform where it makes sense.
• Decide local vs. central in alignment with the teams: Decide early and case by case with the central teams what is built locally and what is integrated into the main platform.
• Turn insight into product: Translate US customer, dealer and market insight into clear problems, hypotheses and testable solutions.
• Run discovery and delivery: Lead specification, trade-offs, launch and measurement with your team, and start delivering immediately.
• Work AI-natively: Use AI from research and prototyping to development and testing, to ship faster with a small team.
• Set the pace: Keep release cycles short, measure velocity by learning and impact, and hold quality to a high bar.

• 30 days: A written plan with priorities, quick wins, scalable bets, success measures and dependencies, plus work started in week one on the highest-impact local quick win.
• Day 90: The first US-specific quick wins are live.
• Month 6: Quick wins are measured, and the first scalable bets are in build.
• Month 12: Measurable impact on US conversion, supply and trust, and a clear line between local and central work.

• US marketplace experience: You have worked in the US market and understand US buyer expectations, dealer and seller behaviour, and how competitors operate.
• Marketplace product experience: You have owned product on a two-sided marketplace and understand how supply, demand, trust and conversion affect each other.
• Senior track record: Several years of product management experience at Senior or Principal level, with a record of shipping measurable results with an engineering team.
• Product velocity: You know it means how quickly a team turns an idea into shipped, measured customer impact, not how much it produces, and you have raised it in a previous team.
• Bias for speed: You decide with incomplete information, ship in small steps and correct course quickly.
• A high bar: You hold high standards for quality, customer experience and decision-making, and you say no to work that does not meet the bar.
• Results focus: You judge your work by what it delivers for the US market and balance quick wins with longer-term, scalable work.
• AI practice: You use AI tools in product work and know how a small team can use AI to deliver more.
• Product craft: Strong command of discovery, prioritisation and data-based decision-making.
• Senior stakeholder confidence: You work confidently with Product Leaders, the GM US and central product teams.
