Products.Innovation.Experience at Deutsche Telekom
For people who want to do more than manage products — they want to create impact.
At Deutsche Telekom, we shape digital products, services and platforms that millions of customers across Europe use every day. In our Products.Innovation.Experience unit, we bring together Product Management, Engineering, Design, Data and AI to make customer experiences simpler, smarter and more relevant.
We are looking for an experienced product professional who takes responsibility for a Product Area, develops a clear product vision and aligns multiple product streams, Squads and Product Managers around common goals: with a strategic mindset, technological understanding, strong communication skills and a hands-on approach to execution.
Your role
As Group Product Manager, you take responsibility for a coherent product area within Products.Innovation.Experience. You shape the Product Vision for your Area, consolidate roadmaps across multiple product components and ensure that product decisions contribute to clear objectives, measurable customer value and business impact.
You work closely with Product Managers, Engineering, Design, Data, AI and Business, provide direction for multiple Squads and support other Product Managers through professional coaching, sparring and prioritization.
You do not lead through hierarchy, but through clarity, context, product understanding and the ability to influence. In doing so, you combine strategic product decisions with close proximity to data, customer feedback and execution.
Potential areas of responsibility
Depending on your experience and focus, you will contribute to one of the following areas within our unit:
- Home & Entertainment: Connected Home, Wi-Fi, TV, Entertainment and digital experiences around the connected home.
- Digital Customer Journeys: Apps, Self-Service, Commerce, Engagement Platforms and digital customer interfaces.
- AI-powered Interactions: AI-based products, digital assistants, Conversational Experiences and intelligent services.
- Data Products & Insights: Data-driven products and insights for better decision-making, personalization and new customer experiences.
- Beyond Connectivity: New digital services and business models beyond the traditional telecommunications business.
What you will shape
- Overall responsibility for the success of the Product Area and steering investments across multiple products to achieve the greatest possible customer value and business success.
- Preparing and driving strategic product decisions based on data, research, market understanding and technological opportunities.
- Developing a clear Product Vision and strategic direction for your product area.
- Building and steering a consolidated Area Roadmap across multiple Squads, product components and dependencies.
- Prioritizing the product portfolio within your Area with a focus on customer value, business impact, technical feasibility and execution capability.
- Defining and steering Area OKRs as well as using product-related and technical KPIs to further develop your product area.
- Professional coaching, mentoring and sparring of other Product Managers within your Area.
- Creating alignment between Product, Engineering, Design, Data, AI, Business and relevant stakeholders.
- Managing dependencies, conflicting objectives and delivery status across multiple Squads or initiatives.
- Responsibility for the successful scaling and further development of the product area, including cross-market rollouts and transformation initiatives.
- Challenging and simplifying existing processes where this helps move more quickly from planning to execution.
What you bring
We are not looking for someone who simply ticks boxes, but for Product Leadership with substance, curiosity and the drive to shape. Ideally, you bring:
- Several years of experience in Product Management for digital products, platforms or technology-driven services.
- Experience in the strategic prioritization and management of product investments across multiple products, as well as in making well-founded decisions regarding their further development.
- Experience taking responsibility for a product domain, a Product Area or several closely connected product components.
- A very strong understanding of how customer needs, data, technology and business goals come together to create successful products.
- Experience developing Product Vision, roadmaps, OKRs and prioritization approaches across multiple product streams.
- Ability to prepare and structure strategic product decisions and drive them forward together with relevant stakeholders.
- Experience coaching, mentoring or acting as a professional sparring partner for Product Managers or product-related roles.
- Strong technical affinity and enthusiasm for working with Engineering, Architecture, Data and AI teams as an equal partner.
- Confidence in working with product-related and technical KPIs.
- Ability to structure complexity, create focus and drive decisions forward even under uncertainty.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly convey product context, priorities and decisions.
- A hands-on mindset: you remain close to the product, data, customer feedback and execution.
- Experience in Telco, Consumer Tech, platform businesses, Apps, SaaS, Digital Commerce or comparable environments is a plus.
- Very good English skills; German skills are an advantage depending on the role.
