Your Role

As Product Manager Mechanics, you lead enviolo in exploring and executing new product opportunities across our CVP gear hub portfolio and in the field of CVP motor integration cooperations. Reporting to the Head of Product Management, you play a central role in shaping enviolo's product roadmap and act as the entry point for technical collaboration and integration with both OEM customers and other e-bike component makers.

You own Phase 0 of our product development process — answering the “WHY” and “WHAT” behind customer and product requirements, and formalizing these into product scopes and business cases. Through development phases 1-4, you remain a primary stakeholder in phase gate reviews, working closely with Program Management, Test & Validation, and Engineering to safeguard the original product requirements as the team answers the “HOW.”

This role is a great fit if you have strong experience in the bicycle industry and a deep understanding of bicycle transmission systems. You'll co-develop a detailed overview of industry trends, competitive and complementary product developments, and the future of personal e-mobility, using this knowledge to guide enviolo's long-term product and partnership strategy. You'll also lead internal communications when new mechanical products launch, and act as the technical sales support for our commercial team to help exceed our customers' expectations.

In your day-to-day work, you collaborate closely with Business Development, Brand Experience, Sustainability, Operations, and Engineering to capture new customer requirements and translate them into new product scopes. This role calls for a user-first mentality, a strong eye for detail, an analytic mindset, and robust stakeholder management skills backed by solid data.

• Work closely with Business Development peers to shape key inputs for new product projects.
• Work closely with Engineering and Quality teams in case of customer facing quality concerns.
• Lead internal product communications and hand-over to the relevant teams when new physical products are introduced.
