Last position:
Senior Product Manager AI
Workflow-automation SaaS for operations teams (Berlin, 120 people); full-time freelance engagement reporting to the CEO: an initial 12-month interim mandate, extended twice through the AI build-out; owned product for one squad and coached the other product managers on process.
- Led generative AI (LLM) integration into the core product: from LLM-powered steps to natural-language workflow authoring and step-level automation suggestions, plus AI-managed dynamic workflows, shipped behind eval gates with human-in-the-loop fallbacks: AI-drafted workflows grew to 31% of all new workflows, and median time-to-first-workflow fell from 3 days to 4 hours.
- Packaged the AI capabilities as a usage-based add-on priced on executed automation steps, working with sales and marketing on positioning: ~€800K added ARR in the first year, and adopting accounts churned 1.8 pp less.
- Owned the roadmap end to end: replaced feature-request-driven quarterly planning with an outcome-based rolling roadmap built on quarterly bets and explicit kill criteria, presented monthly to the executive team and quarterly to the board.
- Rebuilt the product-management operating system: weekly customer-discovery cadence incl. workshop facilitation, RFC/decision-doc reviews and a single quarterly metrics narrative; coached four product managers, one promoted to senior during the engagement.
- Closed the engagement as scoped: hired and onboarded the permanent VP Product, handed over the process playbook and roadmap, and exited on schedule in June 2026.

About the technology
Scalable Storefronts and Core Commerce
Shopify powers modern online retail through cloud-hosted commerce infrastructure. Companies use the platform to deploy reliable shopping carts, manage inventory across international markets, and launch direct-to-consumer storefronts. Its hosted nature minimizes operational maintenance while ensuring high availability during high-traffic sales events.
Custom Themes and Hydrogen Headless Stacks
Experienced professionals configure tailor-made experiences using Liquid alongside modern headless architectures.
- Bespoke theme development using Liquid, HTML5, modern CSS, and JavaScript
- Decoupled storefronts running on Hydrogen and Oxygen with React
- Custom checkout extensions and UI components built on Checkout Extensibility
- Fast page load optimization and responsive mobile-first layouts
Shopify Plus and Enterprise Integrations
Growing retail brands leverage Shopify Plus for high-volume transactions and specialized automation. Specialists configure Shopify Flow, write complex custom scripts, and connect backend enterprise software. These setups synchronize inventory, order fulfillment, and customer data directly with third-party ERP, CRM, and PIM systems.
Custom App Development and API Ecosystem
Extending commerce functionality requires deep familiarity with platform APIs. Professionals build bespoke public and private apps using GraphQL and REST Admin APIs. These extensions handle complex catalog management, dynamic multi-currency pricing, localized tax calculation, and unique logistics workflows tailored to specific business operations.
When to Bring in Freelance Expertise
Companies hire external professionals during major platform migrations, custom theme rebuilds, or when transitioning to headless setups. Freelancers provide immediate architectural know-how, optimize conversion funnels, resolve complex technical debt, and ensure storefronts meet strict performance and accessibility standards.
Digital Commerce in the Berlin Ecosystem
Berlin hosts a dense community of direct-to-consumer startups, international retail brands, and creative commerce ventures. Local brands often seek specialists who combine international store setups with regional compliance, including European payment options, strict data privacy, and multi-language requirements. Most teams collaborate in English through agile remote or hybrid setups.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Shopify, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
A freelance Shopify specialist designs, builds, and maintains custom storefronts, private apps, and backend integrations. They ensure high store performance, configure complex checkout rules, and connect enterprise inventory and fulfillment systems to support scaling ecommerce operations.
While Magento offers deep self-hosted control and WooCommerce integrates natively with WordPress, Shopify delivers a fully managed software-as-a-service environment. This eliminates server maintenance and security patches, enabling businesses to focus on conversion rates, rapid market launches, and custom customer experiences.
A proficient professional understands Liquid templating, semantic frontend technologies, and modern JavaScript. When working with Shopify Plus or custom apps, they should be well-versed in the Storefront and Admin GraphQL APIs, Node.js or Ruby, and frameworks like React or Remix for Hydrogen.
Retail brands typically move to Shopify Plus when they outgrow standard checkout options and need features like Checkout Extensibility, automated workflows via Shopify Flow, or separate expansion stores for cross-border operations in distinct currencies.
Standard themes rely on the Liquid engine, which tightly couples storefront rendering with the core platform. A headless Shopify architecture separates the frontend using APIs, allowing brands to build lightning-fast web applications with React or Next.js while retaining the secure underlying commerce engine.
Yes, most Shopify engineering and theme development tasks thrive in asynchronous, remote setups. Berlin-based ecommerce brands frequently collaborate with professionals remotely, maintaining real-time communication for sprints, feature rollouts, and launch days while occasionally meeting on-site for strategic planning.
Review live storefronts the specialist has delivered to inspect mobile responsiveness, Core Web Vitals, and checkout smoothness. An adept Shopify professional can walk through custom Liquid code, explain how they minimize app bloat, and demonstrate clean API usage in past app projects.
Projects targeting the German market often require specific compliance practices, including GDPR conformity, clear price declarations, and integration with local payment providers like Klarna or PayPal. A specialist familiar with Shopify setups in Germany can readily implement legal pages, tax compliance, and German language localization.
