What you'll do

Own the provider roadmap, starting from the analyst's problem rather than a provider's name; talk regularly with analysts, admins and solutions engineers in law enforcement and defense, and with upstream teams whose features bring integration requests; decide which providers come next and what "done" means for each.
Write the technical specs covering authentication, pagination, rate limits and quotas, incremental sync, deduplication, field mapping, and how failures surface; ensure every object carries its provider, fetch time and source URL from the moment it is fetched; decide how each source behaves in SaaS and on-prem distributions.
Own the connectors as a product: the contract between connectors and the platform, versioning, and how quickly a new provider goes from evaluation to production; give other teams a safe way to reach public sources themselves instead of putting it in the queue.
Own the admin interfaces: creating a connection, managing credentials, scheduling, health and status, logs, quota usage and permissions; every live connection needs a health check and clear failure states.
Work with partnerships and legal: collaborate with the Director of OSINT and the Data Acquisition Manager to evaluate vendors, raise licensing and terms-of-service questions before building, turn the legal framework (storage, retention, redistribution) into product requirements, and give contract negotiators technical findings and cost per call.
Manage the teams around you: work upstream with teams building user-facing features such as graphs and maps, help them find the analyst question behind each request and decide whether a shared connector can serve several of them; work downstream with foundation teams for ontology, machine learning and processing; forecast the load of every high-volume source before it goes live.
Shape person-focused investigation tools: own how analysts go from a first lead about a person to a reviewed set of linked online identities, including how results are presented and reviewed and how to avoid paying for the same lookup twice.
Measure the integration layer: track sync success rate, data freshness, time to onboard a provider, active connections, and time to resolve a failed connection.

What we're looking for

5+ years as a Product Manager in B2B SaaS, with experience owning a technically complex area end-to-end, such as an integration platform, an API product, or data pipelines.
Comfortable in API documentation; can discuss OAuth versus API keys, polling versus webhooks, pagination and rate limits with engineers as an equal, and can try an endpoint in Postman or curl.
Has designed admin or configuration interfaces for technical users: connection setup, status and error states, audit trails.
Writes specs and acceptance criteria specific enough to build and test against.
Data-fluent and defines quality metrics for reliability and coverage, not just feature delivery.
Comfortable with the legal side of third-party data: licensing, terms of service, GDPR, and provenance requirements.
Works well across teams, since integrations touch engineering, partnerships, customer success, and every product that consumes the data.
Eligible to work in Germany and willing to travel to Berlin and across DACH for workshops and customer visits.

Nice to have

Built or managed a connector framework, integration marketplace, or iPaaS product.
Familiarity with OSINT as a practitioner or product builder, and a sense of where existing collection tools fall short.
Familiarity with Kubernetes, on-prem, or air-gapped deployment constraints and what they mean for integration architecture.
Familiarity with entity resolution or link analysis, and how ingested data feeds them.
German language (B1+).
Experience working directly with law enforcement or defense users in Germany or the DACH region.
