Melike Özcan

Senior Product Manager based in Amsterdam with 5+ years of experience building B2B SaaS platforms, AI-powered products, and marketplaces from 0 to launch.

I work with startups and growth-stage companies that need a senior PM perspective without the full-time commitment. Whether you need to scope a new product, write PRDs, integrate AI into your stack, or unblock your roadmap, I bring product craft, technical fluency, and a ship-first mindset.

How I can help: product discovery and PRD writing, turning fuzzy goals into specs engineering can execute; 0-to-1 MVP scoping and launch; AI product strategy, identifying where AI and LLMs create real value with prompt iteration and evaluation; API integrations and productization, turning one-off custom work into scalable connectors; roadmap definition and prioritization around customer value and business impact.

Background: currently at Treasure Play, where I built a B2B SaaS platform from scratch including a B2C reward app, a B2B campaign dashboard, and an AI fraud detection system that reduced fraud by 23%. Previously at Codeway Studios as the third team member, leading product for a mobile app that scaled to 500K+ users across 20+ countries. Earlier at AdColony / Digital Turbine on programmatic adtech (rewarded ads, SSP/ad exchange).

B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, which means I hold my own in technical conversations on architecture, APIs, and trade-offs. Co-building meinthere, an AI travel platform on LLM orchestration, with Claude and Cursor daily.

How I work: pragmatic, data-informed, biased toward action. I would rather ship a focused V1 and learn than wait for perfect information. I write clear specs engineering can actually build from.

Available for fractional (10-30 hrs/week), project-based, or interim PM work. Remote across Europe and the US.

Languages: English (fluent), Turkish (native).
