About Tendos
Tendos is the AI platform for manufacturers in the construction industry. We are redefining how sales and tender processes work: from finding the right projects to processing inquiries, creating quotes and entering orders. Our AI agents run these processes end to end, including the complex steps that used to depend on a few experts, and the platform gets better with every action. We are live with leading manufacturers across Europe and process quotes worth billions of euros. Inside sales is where we started; the platform and the markets we serve are expanding. We are a team of around 20 in the heart of Munich, and we work AI-first: every function automates its own back office. Construction is the biggest industry in the world, and it still runs on manual sales work. We are changing that.
The role
You own a product at Tendos, not a backlog. The platform is expanding beyond inside sales; you shape where it goes. You set the direction, make the trade-offs and own adoption and revenue for your modules. Engineers own delivery; they build with AI agents and ship in days. What they need from you is clarity: business impact, framed problems, data, trade-offs.
What you'll do
- Develop the strategy for your part of the product: where it goes, why, and what it will not do.
- Create a plan as guidance, and be ready to throw it away when experiments and customer learnings say so.
- Build, not just decide: Instead of writing long specs, ship small changes yourself when that is the fastest way to learn, and put working software in front of users early.
- Run product operations and your own work AI-first, not just the product: discovery synthesis, analytics, documentation and internal processes are automated wherever possible, with the quality bar of an expert. No AI slop.
- Set priorities and make the hard calls, including scope or stop decisions.
- Do discovery where the work happens: on site with teams at manufacturers. Bring back framed problems with evidence, not feature requests.
- Hold the room with senior industrial buyers: be a credible expert in their domain, say no when needed and have them leave feeling heard.
What you must bring
- A track record of owning a product: you set the direction, made the trade-offs and owned the outcome. Ideally 0 to 1 or 1 to 10, best case AI-first.
- B2B SaaS experience with complex workflows: your users did a demanding daily job with your product.
- You build with AI: prototypes, coding agents, AI in discovery and insight work. You are comfortable going into the codebase yourself (AI-assisted) to test an idea, read what is there or ship a small change.
- AI-first as a habit: you automate your own product ops and internal work, and you can tell good AI output from plausible-looking junk.
- Design and UX judgment for dense, data-heavy software.
