Description
Cherry Ventures is supporting our portfolio with this hire
Product Manager (m/f/d) – Berlin | Full-Time
Work side-by-side with world-class founders (Timo, Leo, and Erik) to reinvent public procurement in Europe using AI.
About Forgent AI
Forgent AI is building domain-specific AI agents to fix one of Europe’s most complex and high-impact systems: public procurement.
This €2 trillion market is plagued by inefficiency, limited access, and lack of transparency — and we’re here to change that.
Backed by Cherry Ventures and leading angels from OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic, our founding team has previously raised over €500M and built AI systems at global scale.
In recent months, we’ve seen incredible early customer traction across diverse customer profiles. Now, we’re looking for an exceptional, technical product generalist to join our team and help us translate this momentum into a world-class product that solves our customers’ most complex problems.
The Role
This is a unique opportunity to join Forgent AI on the ground floor as our first product hire.
We’re looking for a Product Manager who can own complex product and commercial problems end-to-end — operating at the intersection of our customers, technology, and business. You’ll partner directly with the founders and engineering team, shaping both your role and the company’s product culture as we scale.
What You’ll Do
-
End-to-End Ownership: Lead the lifecycle of core product initiatives from discovery to launch and iteration, partnering directly with engineering to ship world-class AI products.
-
Tackle Unsolved AI Problems: Dive deep into complex, unsolved AI challenges—figuring out how to build and scale agents for high-stakes enterprise workflows.
-
Engage Strategic Customers: Work directly with customers to understand their needs, gather feedback, and become a trusted partner.
-
Shape the Product Roadmap: Collaborate with customers, founders, and engineers to scope new features, define product direction, and prioritize the roadmap.
-
Make AI Useful: Apply hands-on technical know-how (prompt engineering, context management, AI evaluations) to make cutting-edge AI valuable for real-world workflows.
You’ll Thrive Here If You…
-
Have 2–4 years of experience in product management, software engineering, or a related field.
-
Hold a technical background (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering) or equivalent professional experience.
-
Are customer-obsessed, with a deep understanding of user pain points and how AI can drive value.
-
Thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where you help build the playbook, not just follow one.
-
Are a strong communicator, skilled at using both qualitative and quantitative reasoning.
-
Are based in Berlin (or open to relocating).
-
Speak fluent English and German.
-
Bonus: Experience with AI/LLMs or B2B enterprise software.
What’s In It for You
-
Work side-by-side with top-tier founders and shape a company before it scales.
-
Full exposure to early-stage company building — from product to fundraising.
-
Fast track to leading a core product area.
-
Competitive compensation, including equity.
-
Join an AI-first company tackling a mission that matters.
