To understand what we do, you probably want to check out our (brand new) website, plus two of our blog posts (here and here). 🤓
We have four cross-functional product teams, each consisting of 1 Product Manager, 1 Product Designer, and 4-5 Engineers. Every team owns one part of our domain and product end-to-end. And you‘ll be leading one of them. 🧑‍🚀
With Michael, our Head of Product, you’ll have a fantastic mentor and manager to guide you along your career path as Product Manager. 🙌
You will learn and benefit from many best practices our product teams have already established. But there’s always room to grow and you’re still calling the shots in your own team. As a company, we are still early enough in our journey for your contribution to have an immense impact on Luminovo‘s trajectory. 🚀

🎯 Performance objectives

But what exactly will you be doing?

We are a B2B SaaS startup, so reading Marty Cagan or Shape Up will give you a good picture of what it means to be a Product Manager at Luminovo.
For more details, please take a look at the RFC we wrote on the role of a PM at Luminovo: see here. This is straight from our internal documentation, so you’ll get a bit of a feeling for how we communicate internally, too.
From speaking with other startups, it seems that we have a heavy shaping focus at Luminovo (i.e. lots of prototyping and user testing), so that’s certainly something you should enjoy (and learn to be good at).

OK, but why should you care about electronics?

The electronics industry is crazy important (go read Chip War if you don’t believe us) and continues to grow rapidly.
We’re very close to becoming the industry standard for quoting and procuring PCBAs for electronics manufacturing services (EMS). EMS are a bottleneck in the electronics industry: All important data (on parts, PCBs, and the assembly process) flows through them. All the important supply-chain questions (how much is this product going to cost? How much can I negotiate that price down? Are all parts available and compliant? If not, how can I find alternate suppliers?) are being asked and answered there, and as of more recently: asked and answered within Luminovo.
This puts us in a strategically interesting and hard to displace position. Our next challenge is leveraging that competitive advantage for even more impact. Sounds intriguing? Then come along and join our Team of Luminerds!

Whom you'll be working with:

Michael, our Head of Product and your direct supervisor.
Christopher, Andreas, Abhik, and Dominik; our engineers in team Manufacturing.
Anne and Flo, our two other PMs.
Sebastian and Timon, our Founders.
And many more across Marketing, Customer Success and Sales.

🤓 Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

Just so you know – we purposefully did not create a standard list of minimum qualifications for this role. We care much more about your motivation and ability to help us accelerate technical progress than we care just about your CV. If you're interested to find out more about why we banned requirements from our performance profiles – see here.

🤝 What we promise

🧠 We greatly value psychological safety and honest feedback. We always expect you to speak up and share your ideas about what we can improve within the company, and take these views to heart.
💬 We do routine 1:1's with your supervisor, retrospectives, and insight hours to make sure we are constantly getting better at what we do, all while fostering employee mental health and wellbeing.
💡 Personal development is something strongly encouraged by Luminovo, so there are no fixed budgets when it comes to things that will further your personal growth (education, trainings etc.), just ask and we usually say yes!
🤸 We offer a flexible working environment, we appreciate everyone's time and preferred ideal setup regarding working hours.
🌍 We offer fully remote working (our only requirement for remote working is that you are within +/-2 hours of CET). Our Luminerds work from Amsterdam, Nairobi, Verona, Berlin, Cologne, Munich, …
👶 When it comes to our take on parent support, we happily contribute to the childcare costs of our Luminerds and have found very flexible setups for parental leave.
🖥️ In case you’re joining us as a remote Luminerd, we will support you in finding your ideal home-office setup and provide the appropriate equipment.
💸 We're excited to revolutionize the electronics industry – and we want you to be too. That's why all full-time Luminerds receive strong and fair stock option packages.

💸 Compensation

We want to offer compensation that aligns with industry standards. To maintain a transparent and fair approach to compensation, the salary ranges for all positions are determined based on market benchmarks and a comprehensive leveling framework.

For this role, German salary ranges from €63,000 to €79,200 + virtual stock options, depending on the leveling we’ll establish with you throughout the hiring process. This range might differ in other countries within our +/- 2h time zone remote work area.
