Director of Product Management, Platform (d/f/m)

Job description

Our story: Every year millions of people are either filing their taxes in fear or giving up on their tax refund altogether. We're working on fixing that. Our intuitive app enables anyone, regardless of education or background, to file their taxes with newfound confidence. Spread across Germany, Spain and the UK, the team at Taxfix Group with its brands Taxfix, Steuerbot and TaxScouts, is a compassionate group of solution-finders.

Not just for the products running today, but for the builders and agents running on top of it tomorrow. You'll report directly to the Chief Product Officer and lead multiple group owners across the full platform area. Your responsibilities and decisions: Own the platform product strategy. Set direction for all platform teams including but not limited to user management, payments, operational tooling, tax infrastructure, data extraction, and bookkeeping. Make trade-offs visible and hold the line on what gets built vs. what BUs own themselves. Run the inner source model efficiently. The model exists. Your job is to make it work at scale.
