About marta
At marta, we build technology that makes high-quality home care accessible, transparent, and human. Our platform connects families and caregivers across Europe, creating trust, dignity, and simplicity in one of the most essential industries: elderly care.
After establishing ourselves as the technological leader in the live-in care market, we are now entering the next growth phase — scaling our product and engineering organization to deliver greater speed, stability, and impact. Our goal is clear: to set the new standard for technology in elderly care.
To make this happen, we’re looking for a Product Lead who combines strategic product leadership with hands-on execution — someone who can translate business vision into outstanding user experiences, drive engineering focus, and help lead Marta into its next chapter of growth and market leadership.
Your Role in our team
You own the
product vision, drive
delivery excellence, and act as the
voice of the product at marta. Your role bridges business goals with technical reality — ensuring that we build the right things, the right way, at the right time.
You will:
- Translate complex business problems into actionable, testable engineering requirements.
- Lead product discovery, prioritization, and delivery rhythms (stand-ups, sprint planning, retros, roadmap reviews).
- Define and evolve a cohesive product strategy, balancing business impact, user needs, and technical feasibility.
- Partner closely with engineering and design to ship elegant, data-driven solutions.
- Introduce modern product practices — from rapid prototyping to structured feedback loops and lean experimentation.
- Build a high-velocity product culture, leveraging AI tools for ideation, user research, and code acceleration.
- Represent the product & engineering function internally, ensuring strong alignment with founders and stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities1. Product Ownership- Own the product roadmap and ensure every initiative ties to measurable business outcomes.
- Maintain a clear, centralized source of truth for requirements, decisions, and product specs.
- Define success metrics and drive continuous improvement through data and feedback.
2. Delivery Leadership- Ensure clarity, prioritization, and readiness before work enters development — every ticket meets the Definition of Ready and connects to a measurable business goal.
- Collaborate closely with engineering leads, who own sprint execution and delivery cadence, to align priorities and manage scope without micromanaging the process.
- Maintain delivery momentum by resolving cross-functional blockers early and keeping context clear between product, design, and engineering.
3. Strategic Contribution- Contribute actively to shaping marta’s business strategy and translate it into a clear product roadmap and execution plan.
- Act as the main spokesperson for the product & engineering organization toward founders and other departments.
- Champion user and caregiver needs — ensuring the product remains intuitive, compliant, and differentiated.
4. Technical and AI-Driven Innovation- Explore and apply AI-assisted product management and development workflows — from user-research synthesis to low-code prototyping and automated testing.
- Collaborate with engineers on feasibility explorations, architectural decisions, and technical trade-offs.
- Identify and drive opportunities to embed AI and agentic layers directly into our product, enabling automation, smart decision support, and operational efficiency across the platform.
About us
Why we founded marta.
When we were seeking 24-hour care for our loved ones, we often felt left alone in this complicated and highly overpriced market. In addition, we became angry when we realized that the agencies were taking most of the salary we paid our caregivers. After five years of unsuccessful search for a reputable agency, in 2020, we took on the mission to improve 24-hour care in Germany and ultimately founded marta.
In memory of Marta, who lovingly helped us care for our grandparents for years, we named the company after her.
We take our mission very seriously.
We firmly believe that caregivers will take better care of our loved ones if we at marta provide them with fair working and living conditions. Our goal is to fundamentally improve the 24-hour care market by building a platform that brings caregivers and families together without any other intermediaries. We enable caregivers to earn a better salary through lower placement fees without families paying more.
