Last position:
AI Product Manager / Product Owner at AI Product
- Generative AI products for corporate clients, owned from strategy through specification to production.
- Central strategy, local configuration: multi-tenant AI assistant for occupational pension schemes (bAV), delivered as an interactive avatar with text and voice path. Three tenants run on one codebase, each with its own conversation guide, while the knowledge base, guardrails and escalation paths stay central
- Versioned, AI-ready knowledge base composed into a tenant-agnostic voice context and tenant-specific text prompts — the configuration layer that keeps local adaptation from forking the product
- Conversational design: answer limits, scope and off-topic handling, anti-hallucination rules, escalation and lead handover to human advisors
- Five eval suites as a quality gate before any prompt or model change (anti-hallucination, LLM-as-judge failure modes, multi-turn consistency, voice KPIs, action vocabulary with confusion matrix); user test with 10 testers (Hamburg, 07/2026) drove the rework from alpha to beta
- Coordinated external developers, compliance and client stakeholders; GDPR-compliant EU stack, IDD-compliant, EU AI Act classification documented
- Second product line: white-label social media generator for consultancy chilli mind (CH/DE) — one codebase, per-client branding and configuration
- Results: 239+ deployments and a pilot with corporate customers · 108+ deployments for the white-label product · repeatable pattern for multi-tenant AI products in a regulated environment

About the certification
What PSM II stands for
Professional Scrum Master II, often called PSM II, is a Scrum.org certification for people who already work beyond the basics of Scrum Mastering. It shows that a professional can guide teams through real-world delivery problems, not just explain the rules of Scrum.
- Coaching teams without taking over
- Supporting self-management and continuous improvement
- Removing impediments with practical judgment
- Helping product owners, developers, and stakeholders work well together
Skills it validates
A holder of PSM II is expected to understand how Scrum works in complex settings and how to use it well in day-to-day work. The focus is on impact, not memorized theory.
- Facilitation of difficult Scrum events
- Conflict handling and team coaching
- Empirical thinking and adaptation
- Working with stakeholders, product goals, and delivery flow
- Making Scrum fit the context without weakening it
Typical holder profiles
Companies often look for PSM II when they need a Scrum Master who can work with mature teams, change-heavy programs, or cross-functional delivery setups. It is also relevant for Agile coaches, delivery leads, and senior project professionals moving into a stronger Scrum role.
In Germany, the certification can be a strong signal for remote or hybrid work, especially when teams need clear communication in English and close collaboration across functions. It is useful in product, software, digital transformation, and complex service environments.
What it tells a company
PSM II does not just show familiarity with Scrum. It suggests that the freelancer can help a team improve how it plans, collaborates, and solves problems under pressure.
- Understands Scrum at a deeper level than entry certification holders
- Can support teams through change and uncertainty
- Knows when to coach, when to facilitate, and when to step back
- Brings practical experience with real Scrum challenges
For hiring teams, that means less need for basic guidance and more value in shaping team behavior, delivery habits, and working agreements.
