Product Manager (m/f/d)

Job ID: 40589 | Location: Munich, Bavaria, Germany

Create the future of chemical production with artificial intelligence!
At Navigance, we combine chemistry, data science, and software to make chemical production more efficient and sustainable. Our cloud-based CLARITY Prime solution helps plant operators and engineers to unlock the full potential of their catalysts using cutting edge technology — and we’re looking for a Product Manager (m/f/d) to take this solution to the next level.

This is a global, cross-functional role where you will turn customer needs into easy-to-use product features. You will work closely with process engineers, data scientists, and catalyst experts, and you will guide the product development from first pilot projects to roll-out to many customers. This role is for you if you are excited about digitalization of chemical processes, and if you have the ambition to create real impact at a large number of chemical production plants of our customers.

Responsibilities:

• Drive the evolution of CLARITY Prime from pilot stage to a scalable product with powerful functionality
• Translate market insights and customer feedback into a clear product roadmap
• Draft high-level requirements and initiate user story refinement with engineering
• Collaborate with engineering, UX, and data science teams to deliver high-quality features
• Ensure quality control of UI, UX, and overall product quality before launch
• Engage with sales and service teams to craft compelling positioning and support customer adoption
• Monitor product performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and share results with stakeholders
• Contribute to building a strong product culture by focusing on user value and outcomes

Requirements:

• A degree in a relevant field (Engineering, Computer Science, Chemistry …)
• In depth knowledge of chemical process technology, in particular ammonia, methanol and hydrogen production.
• (Ideally) exposure to plant operations — understanding how to run, steer, and control a chemical plant, or a strong interest in operations excellence
• Curiosity and drive to learn fast
• First experience or strong motivation to grow in product management or industrial digitalization
• Analytical mindset, interest in working with process data, and willingness to learn new tools
• Clear and confident communication style — comfortable working with engineers and commercial teams alike
• Passion for solving real customer problems and making production more sustainable
• Basic coding experience (Python, JavaScript)
• Familiarity with cloud technologies
• Experience in Agile methodologies
• Relentless customer empathy and focus on user needs
• Crisp, transparent communication skills across various disciplines
• Process knowledge about ammonia, methanol and hydrogen production

Our Offer:

• A chance to work on real impact projects at the intersection of chemistry and digital technology
• A international, interdisciplinary, and agile team that supports you to grow
• You will be given the space to develop ideas and create significant impact through digital projects that drive sustainability in chemical operations.
• We reward the value you bring with an attractive remuneration and benefits of a modern company.
