Product Manager – DB Gene Platform

About DecisionBrain. We build decision-support software for the planning and scheduling problems that off-the-shelf systems can't solve — planning maintenance across hundreds of thousands of assets, replanning airport operations when a flight is delayed, balancing a bike-sharing scheme in real time, optimizing production lines. Our solutions combine agentic AI, mathematical optimisation, machine learning and our DB Gene planning platform , and are built around each client's real constraints rather than forcing the operation to bend around the tool.

Founded in 2012, we're 60+ people across France (Paris, Montpellier), Hong Kong, Italy (Bologna), US and Brazil. We've been self-funded and profitable from the start, and we work with market leaders worldwide such as Toyota, IBM, British Airways, Carhartt, and Transport for London.

Role
Product Management at DecisionBrain is about bridging deep technological expertise — our AI-enabled platform, solvers, models and optimisation engines — with operations executives who need plans their teams can actualy put into practice.

Your role will be to turn this technological expertise into a relevant, usable and value-creating product for our customers, finding the right balance between what our technology makes possible and the real-world needs of our users.

That means serving three very different users at once. Developers build planning applications on DB Gene. Business analysts model the planning problems themselves. Planners and managers use those applications to make the operational decisions their business runs on every day. Getting the product right for one of them isn't hard. Getting it right for all three is the job.

As Product Manager , you will own the DB Gene roadmap, along with its add-ons, demos and template applications. You will sit at the centre of the conversation between our R&D teams and the people who depend on them — Sales, Marketing, and Delivery — and work directly with our partners and customers.

You will own the core product management processes: feedback colection, backlog, release planning and release communication. And you will help shape where the product goes next, in a market moving at unprecedented speed, where agentic AI is reshaping how planning solutions are built, bought and used.

You will own the platform roadmap end to end, reporting directly to the CEO, with the autonomy that implies in a company of our size.

Key Responsibilities

Reporting to the CEO , you will be responsible for:

Roadmap and release planning: gathering priorities from internal stakeholders and partners, building and reviewing the quarterly roadmap, planning major and minor releases, and presenting progress, KPIs and risks at the quarterly steering committee.

Requirements and backlog: turning feedback from demos, customer meetings and questionnaires into clear user stories with acceptance criteria, sizing and prioritising them, and keeping the backlog clean and relevant.

Voice of the user: defining and maintaining personas (developer, business analyst, planner, manager) with their needs and success metrics, and bringing that perspective into sprint planning, reviews and retrospectives with the development team.

Customer feedback loop: running regular feedback sessions with Sales, customer surveys and usage analysis to check that delivered features are known, used and bring real business value.

Go-to-market and enablement: coordinating release communications and demos for customers, partners and internal teams, training Sales, Delivery and Support on each release, and maintaining official demos, sales deck content and the value proposition together with Sales, Marketing and the CEO.

Market and strategy: monitoring trends and competitors in planning, scheduling and adjacent markets, and working with the Executive team on where we take the product and where we invest.

Your tasks will include:

Reviewing new requests and turning them into prioritised, sized requirements

Working alongside the development team and answering functional questions

Meeting Sales, Delivery, Support and partners to colect and share product information

Preparing demos and enablement material

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Operations Research, Industrial Engineering or a related field. An MBA is very welcome.

Expected work experience: 3–5 years of experience in Product Management or Product Ownership, idealy in a B2B software environment.

B2B context matters to us: enterprise buying cycles, multiple stakeholders and long-lived deployments are the environment you' l be working in.
