AI Product Manager (m/f/x)
Cortea AI · Berlin
About us
Cortea is building the quality layer for AI-powered audits.
Our Audit Quality Agents help audit firms use AI with greater trust, consistency, and professional oversight. Built around auditing standards and review workflows, they enable firms to deliver more reliable and reviewable work while increasing capacity across the audit process.
We're building an AI-native company from day one. We believe small teams, equipped with AI and empowered to move fast, can solve some of the biggest challenges facing the audit profession.
Your Role
As an AI Product Manager, you'll work on products in our AI audit toolbox alongside engineers, designers, auditors and our founders. You'll spend your time understanding what auditors need, helping shape what we build next, and making sure we ship things that actually solve real problems.
What you'll do
Contribute to the discovery, definition, and delivery of products in our AI toolbox
Talk to customers weekly to uncover pain points and validate solutions
Prototype with AI tools (Cursor, Claude, v0, etc.) to test ideas in hours, instead of weeks
Work tightly with engineering and design throughout the build cycle
Help us understand the messy reality of AI capabilities (and limits) and turn that into product decisions: what's worth building, what's not yet ready, where humans stay in the loop
Bring structure to the problem space: clear writing, sharp questions, useful PRDs
What success looks like
You've contributed to and shipped 3+ meaningful product bets within your first 6 months, learning through iteration and customer feedback along the way.
You've gone deep on at least one core product area (e.g. a specific tool in our AI toolbox, a customer segment, our evals & quality framework, or the UX of agentic workflows) and become exceptionally strong in it
You're trusted by founders, engineers, and customers to steward important product decisions
Who you are
Have 4–7 years of experience, with at least 2 years in a product role
Have shipped B2B SaaS products that real customers pay for and use
Are AI-native in how you work: you use LLMs, agents, and AI tooling daily and have strong intuition for what they can and can't do today
Have shipped at least one AI-powered feature or product and understand the unique product challenges (evals, latency, hallucinations, trust, UX of probabilistic systems)
Go deep into context to truly understand user problems
Are comfortable in early-stage startup chaos. High autonomy, high ambiguity, high speed
Bonus points
You've founded a company or shipped a serious AI side project
You can read code, run small scripts, or fine-tune prompts yourself
Experience in audit, compliance, legal, or another document-heavy professional services domain
