🌍 About Zauber

After co-founding and scaling Forto to over $600M in funding, I took a step back to reflect on what’s still broken in global logistics. The answer was clear: it’s still a human-first, spreadsheet-heavy industry, full of repetitive processes and broken system interoperability.

With the rise of AI agents, we now have the tools to rethink that from the ground up. Zauber builds autonomous agents for the global logistics industry, AI workers that handle operational tasks, talk to systems and humans alike, and get better every day.

🚢 We're already live with global logistics leaders in Europe and Asia

💰 Backed by P9 - one of Europe's top early-stage funds

📈 Growing fast and hiring exceptional talent to join early

Now we are looking for an exceptional Founding Product Lead to help us define and build the next generation of AI-powered logistics systems.

🧠 What You'll Do

You will own our product strategy and execution entirely, defining the roadmap for our AI agent platform from the ground up. This is a high-ownership role where you'll define what we build and how we build it, translating messy operational challenges into elegant agent architectures that work in production. Every decision you make in these early stages shapes how logistics companies will operate for the next decade.

• Define the product vision and roadmap for Zauber's AI agent platform, balancing individual customer needs with technical feasibility, scalability and business impact

• Work directly with enterprise customers to understand their workflows and pain points, then translate those into clear product requirements and agent architectures

• Partner closely with engineering to design system integrations and user experiences that handle the reality of freight forwarding operations

• Own the full product lifecycle from discovery to launch, including use case and feature prioritization, success metrics, and iteration based on production data

👤 You Might Be a Fit If You...

• Have 5+ years of product management experience building technical products, ideally in AI, automation, or enterprise software

• Are comfortable with ambiguity and can make clear decisions with incomplete information

• Have strong technical intuition and can work effectively with engineers without needing to write production code yourself

🛠 What You Bring

• Proven track record shipping products that customers actually use and get value from

• Deep understanding of how agentic LLM products work, including their capabilities and limitations in production

• Strong ability to translate ambiguous customer problems into clear product requirements and technical specifications abstracting custom requirements into scalable solutions

• Willingness to become a domain expert and learn to immerse yourself in the day-to-day of our customers and users

• Fluency in English required, German is a strong plus

📍 Location & Logistics

• In-person Monday to Wednesday in our Berlin office (travel within Europe expected)

• Annual offsite (last year we took the team for 4 weeks to San Francisco)

• Start: As soon as possible

💼 What We Offer

• Top-of-market compensation and meaningful early equity

• Direct access to real users and fast feedback loops

• A highly experienced team with full trust and autonomy

• The opportunity to shape the foundations of a company and product from day one

• A mission that matters: building intelligent systems to power the future of global trade

🚀 Why Now

We’re not a demo company. We’re in production with real customers, in one of the world’s most critical and complex industries. Demand is not our bottleneck, execution is. This is your chance to join extremely early, shape the company, and build what will become the core infrastructure for global logistics automation.

We envision a world where every shipment is proactively managed by intelligent agents. Where operators have superhuman capabilities at their fingertips and trade never stalls.

🇪🇺 Building from Europe

What drives us personally is the belief that Europe’s long-term prosperity and sovereignty depend on a strong economic engine. We need more AI product-first European global champions on the world stage.

Our mission is to build one of the biggest automation companies in the world - from Europe. While our HQ will be in Europe, we will relentlessly benchmark ourselves with the best globally and sell internationally from the beginning.
