Back to original languageAbout Christoph
Do you temporarily need an experienced Product Manager who can get started right away? I support startups and small product teams in B2B SaaS and hardware products in bringing structure to their product work, without long onboarding efforts and without overhead.
I have been responsible for products end-to-end: from discovery through requirements definition, development control to go-to-market. As a PM and PO, I also managed an IoT cloud platform and led a team of eight developers. What distinguishes me from many freelance PMs is that I quickly understand technical contexts and can communicate at eye level with the development team. This saves you time and unnecessary coordination loops.
I can specifically help you with:
- Cleaning up the backlog and prioritizing according to clear criteria
- Structured discovery and customer interviews
- Requirements documentation and PRDs that developers can actually use
- Roadmap planning with a focus on business impact and technical feasibility
This is what you get:
- A PM who speaks both technical and business language
- Quick onboarding without long briefings
- Clear results in a short time, usable remotely and flexibly
Certified as Professional Scrum Master (PSM I). Tools: Jira, Confluence, Figma, Notion.
