Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Tobias
As an experienced Product Manager and certified Scrum Master & Product Owner, I bring over 15 years of professional experience, including several years in leadership positions.
During my time at **Sky Deutschland**, I worked in a wide variety of roles within product management, gaining a deep understanding of the entire product lifecycle: from strategy, planning, and implementation to in-life management and product phase-out. I have years of experience in aligning business requirements, market and competitive situations, technical trends, and financial frameworks to develop excellent products that focus on the user.
This makes me a true all-rounder in product management and extremely versatile. I enjoy working on strategic topics, but I am equally at home "hands-on" in the day-to-day of product development.
This mix makes me a valuable resource for a wide range of tasks. In my last project at the **Deutsche Fußball Liga (DFL)**, I was able to contribute both my strategic skills in concept development and my hands-on mentality in implementation, successfully launching an OTT streaming service in over 40 markets.
I am happy to work from home or on-site by arrangement - according to the client's wishes and for the best possible project implementation.
