Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz smallpdf Vollzeit

In 2013, while living abroad, our founders set out to create an online tool that could turn huge PDFs into small, easy-to-send versions in order to send updates to their families.

As it turns out, they weren't the only ones with this problem.

10 years later, Smallpdf is one of the most popular PDF tools in the world and among the most visited websites globally.

With products available in 24 languages, the site has visitors from every single country in the world, plus Antarctica, and processes millions of documents each day.


In 2022, we took a big step forward by acquiring PDF Tools, a Zurich-based pioneer for products that help to create, manipulate, and validate PDF- and PDF/A- files to support and improve our customers' document workflows.


The objective of the role:

Responsibilities:

  • Lead all product teams, including monetization as well as SEO to achieve Smallpdf's main objectives of user and revenue growth.
  • Offer customers effective, userfriendly tools to streamline document workflows and enhance their overall experience.
  • Foster visitor growth through the guidance of the SEO team.
  • Identify, test, and execute global monetization strategies to increase ARR without compromising SEO.
  • Explore opportunities and product strategies beyond Smallpdf's current core business.
  • Serve as a sparring partner to PDFT's C-Level and team.

What you bring:

  • Proven experience in product management leadership within a fastpaced tech environment.
  • Strong understanding of SEO, monetization strategies, and product development processes.
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
  • Strategic thinker with a track record of driving results and achieving KPIs.
  • Business acumen and focus, ability to collaborate well with Tech and Engineering, and marketing and data.
  • Quantitative approach and analytical thinking.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with product strategy across multiple platforms (not just the web, but also other platforms, e.g., Desktop, Mobile).

Why Smallpdf?:

Here, every task and every challenge is an opportunity to innovate and make a genuine impact. We're a driven team - pragmatic, goal-focused, and always eager to solve the next big problem.

This isn't a place for mere management or grand visions detached from reality; it's a ground for hands-on champions ready to roll up their sleeves.

If you're someone who's willing to dive deep into the action, someone who's more about the journey than just the title, Smallpdf is your destination.
