Build products & services that our customers love. This role suits a seasoned expert who thrives in fast-paced, low-hierarchy environments and enjoys wearing multiple hats—whether building a product from scratch, talking to customers or solving complex prioritization issues. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers & a product designer in a small, high-impact team that takes pride in crafting quality solutions for our customers.

Your focus

As the Product Manager Payroll, you will own the design, development, and delivery of Payroll features tailored for the German regulatory and tax environment. You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, compliance, QA, and support teams to ensure Integral’s payroll engine remains accurate, scalable, and compliant.

• Scope the problem: Together with engineering, you'll be leading key decisions around how to best solve the problem for our clients. Collaborate with the rest of the team to ensure a scalable product.
• Organize & Communicate: Ensure that everybody has the visibility on what's the priority and ensure that you constantly communicate with clients, team members and partners.

• Career Diversity: Experience working in multiple companies or environments with ideally some of them in a regulated industry.
• Technical Expertise: Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in product management.
• Domain-knowledge: Experience in the payroll or similar field in Germany.

Your profile

• Eagerness and Analytical: Changing tasks & requirements excite you. You are able to think logically, break down complex problems and flexibly adapt in your daily work.
• Ability to start from 0: You have taken products from 0 to 1 in the past.
• Highly organized: You are highly organized, structured and reliable in your work.
