AI Product Manager (German Speaking) (m/f/d)
<p>80% of the world’s workforce doesn’t sit at a desk. Ordio 💙 is the all-in-one platform that helps these teams run their day: shift planning, time tracking, absence & document management. Simple, fast, and human.</p>
<p>We’re early, growing quickly, and obsessed with building exceptional products. If you’re passionate about designing intelligent systems that make complex workflows beautifully simple, you’ll feel right at home here.</p>
<p><strong>The Impact You’ll Have</strong></p>

<p>You’ll guide Payroll Plus from early MVP toward a robust, scalable product, balancing rapid iteration with reliability and compliance., managing a two-sided platform that serves both our <strong>customers</strong> (employers running payroll) and our <strong>internal payroll experts</strong> (the engine behind flawless execution).</p>
<h2>Tasks</h2>
