About the role

  • VP of Product & Engineering leading the technical vision and execution for twomynds, a Data & AI consulting firm transitioning to Product-Led Solutions. Overseeing team scaling and product development.

Responsibilities

  • You are responsible for the technical vision and execution of our transformation into a product-led consulting company.
  • You will build the bridge between our successful consulting projects and scalable, AI-based solutions and grow our technical team from today’s 7–9 people to 15+ experts.
  • You will work directly with the founders, have full decision-making authority over tech stack, hiring and the product roadmap — and actively shape twomynds as a technical leader.
  • Develop solutions instead of projects
  • Identify recurring patterns in client engagements and transform them into productized, AI-powered solutions (e.g., AI-based marketing attribution, predictive analytics, NLP-powered analyses).
  • Develop and pilot our first scalable solution from concept to market-ready product.
  • Define a technical roadmap that combines state-of-the-art AI technologies (LLMs, ML automation, GenAI) with practical business applicability.
  • Scale and lead the technical team
  • Establish technical excellence: from modern MLOps practices to production-ready AI systems.
  • Create a culture that combines innovation with pragmatic execution — "shipped beats perfect".
  • Connect innovation and delivery
  • Set standards for reusable ML models, AutoML frameworks and GenAI integration in client projects.
  • Make technology decisions: cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP), ML platforms, data stacks, AI tools.
  • Master the balance between fast, bespoke client delivery and long-term, scalable product development.
  • Strategic partnership & thought leadership
  • Shape the product strategy with the founders: which AI opportunities do we address as products? Where do we allocate our resources?
  • Support pre-sales and strategic client projects with deep AI and technical expertise.
  • Represent twomynds externally as an AI and tech thought leader (conferences, content, employer branding).

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience, including at least 2 years of technical team leadership (managed 5–10+ people).
  • Strong AI expertise and hands-on project experience: you have deployed AI/ML in production (not just prototypes) and understand modern AI technologies such as ML/AI, LLMs, GenAI, NLP and ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, Hugging Face).
  • Consulting or product-company background: you either know the consulting world and have built productized solutions there, or you have developed AI products at tech companies.
  • Pragmatic delivery mindset: "shipped beats perfect" — you deliver functioning MVPs, not over-engineered monuments, and move quickly in ambiguity without sacrificing quality.
  • Preferred: consulting-to-product experience — you understand how to extract reusable, scalable solutions from custom projects.
  • Scale-up experience in companies with 20–100 employees.
  • Cloud & MLOps: familiar with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), MLOps, data engineering and analytics stacks (Modern Data Stack).
  • Strong communication skills: you can translate AI complexity for business stakeholders and are confident at the C-level.
  • Languages: fluent German (C1+), good English.

Benefits

  • Training and development budget
  • Mentoring & individual career paths
  • Budget for conferences, trainings and AI research
  • Opportunities for thought leadership (conferences, content, personal branding)
  • Flexible working hours and high remote flexibility (1x office day per week in Cologne/Bonn)
  • Permanent employment contract
  • Equity participation — you help build the company and you benefit from it
  • Regular team events, workations and team offsites
  • Urban Sports membership and public transport subsidy
