About Appliscale

Appliscale is a technology consulting company that partners with leading digital businesses across Europe. We work at the intersection of product, engineering, and data — embedding our people into high-impact teams where they can do meaningful work on products used by millions.

We are remote-first with a light-touch culture: asynchronous communication, minimal meetings, and a strong bias toward ownership and autonomy. Our clients span adtech, proptech, gaming, and media — and we take pride in placing talented people into environments where they can grow.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Product Manager to join a cross-functional product team at one of Europe's largest proptech companies — a household name in online real estate classifieds, operating leading digital platforms across multiple countries.

You will be embedded within their product and engineering organisation, working on consumer-facing and/or platform products that serve millions of users — home seekers, property owners, and real estate professionals. This is a hands-on product role in a continuous delivery environment, not a strategy-only or product marketing position.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a solid product foundation who wants to sharpen their craft inside a large-scale, technically mature organisation with strong product culture.

What You'll Do

• Own a product area end-to-end: discovery, prioritisation, delivery, and measurement.
• Work daily with engineering, design, data, and business stakeholders to ship outcomes, not just features.
• Define and track product KPIs, using data to guide decisions while exercising good judgment when data is incomplete.
• Maintain and groom a healthy backlog — making trade-off decisions that balance user value, technical debt, and business goals.
• Communicate progress, risks, and learnings clearly to both local and remote stakeholders.
• Collaborate across a cross-country setup, working primarily in English with French-speaking colleagues and partners.

Requirements — Must-Have

• 3+ years in product management within tech-driven companies. You've worked in real product environments with structured practices — roadmapping, discovery, experimentation, and iterative delivery.
• Close proximity to engineering. You're comfortable working alongside developers in continuous delivery setups. You understand backlogs, sprint mechanics, and technical trade-offs. This is not a product marketing role.
• Data sensibility and KPI ownership. You can define the right metrics, track them, and use them to inform decisions. You're pragmatic when data is incomplete rather than paralysed by it.
• Autonomous and outcome-oriented. You thrive with remote leadership and high ownership expectations. You understand that product success is measured by impact, not feature output.
• Strong English communication. Fluent in written and spoken English. You can hold your own in daily collaboration with international and French-speaking stakeholders.
• Learning velocity and growth mindset. You ramp up quickly in complex or unfamiliar domains. You're curious, structured, and continuously improving both your craft and your business understanding.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience in proptech, real estate classifieds, or marketplace products. Understanding of multi-sided platform dynamics is a strong plus.
• French language skills (conversational or above). Not required, but helpful for stakeholder relationships.
• Familiarity with A/B testing and experimentation frameworks at scale.
• Experience working in distributed or cross-country product teams.
• Exposure to data platforms, analytics tooling, or martech product areas.
• Prior experience in a consulting or embedded-team model where you joined an existing organisation as an external product hire.

Interview Process

Our process has four stages, designed to be thorough but respectful of your time. We provide feedback at every stage.

• HR Screen (45 min, video call) — Motivation and product passion, cultural fit, communication clarity, AI and data fluency, learning mindset.
• Hiring Manager Interview (60 min, video call) — Strategic thinking, data and metric literacy, user-first approach, solution-making, operational excellence.
• Product Case (90 min, video call or on-site) — A realistic product scenario testing outcome ownership, marketplace thinking, user focus, data literacy, strategic thinking, and pragmatism.
• Cultural Fit (2 x 30 min, video call) — Team fit conversations: working style, collaboration, feedback handling, values. Open floor for your questions.

Why Appliscale

• Work on a product used by millions, inside one of Europe's most established proptech organisations.
• Remote-first culture with real flexibility — not just a policy on paper.
• Minimal bureaucracy, maximum ownership.
• A team that genuinely cares about placing you in a role where you'll grow.
• Competitive compensation aligned to your experience and location.
