Working Student Product Management & Discovery (all genders)

Our vision is to create a better future for businesses and talent - one hire at a time. We’re driven by our winning aspiration: to be the #1 provider of hires for our core customers, making this vision a reality.

To do this, we need you and your talents on our team. Become a part of HeyJobs and shape the future of recruiting with us! Join the HeyVolution!

For 9 years, we've been revolutionizing the recruitment market with our AI-based job platform. Our technology simplifies the path to a new job like never before and helps companies solve their skilled labor shortages.

With over 4,700 satisfied clients, including 8 of the top 10 largest employers in Germany and Austria, leading companies rely on HeyJobs for their recruiting. Last year alone, we helped over 100,000 people find their new jobs. Already, more than 1% of all hires occur through the HeyJobs platform.

We offer you an influential role in a fast-growing company:

As a Working Student on our Recruiter Product team, you will be the driving force behind our product discovery - conducting user research, market analysis, and competitor research that directly shapes what we build. This isn't a passive support role: you'll run interviews, document findings, and translate them into actionable insights that influence our product roadmap.

As you grow, you'll take ownership of initiatives that emerge from your research, acting as the PM for these workstreams in collaboration with our UX Design and Engineering teams. You'll gain hands-on product management experience at a time when you can actively shape our roadmap and explore what AI-powered product management looks like in practice.

In this role, you can earn an hourly rate of €16. Your personal development and promotion opportunities are also guaranteed with us.

This position is based at either our Berlin or Cologne office.
