About the role

About

Funzy stands for Fun & Cozy – and for a new generation of play furniture that combines creativity, comfort, and functionality. Our mission is to offer children durable, imaginative, and meaningful products that accompany them as they play, discover, and grow.

With our innovative combination of furniture and toy, we inspire children's boundless imagination and promote their development. Since our founding in 2020, over 250,000 parents have already placed their trust in our products.

To further advance our vision and become Europe's leading brand for play furniture, we are looking for dedicated individuals to enrich our team and redefine the world of play with us.

Responsibilities

You will support the (further) development of our products from the initial idea through sampling and supplier management to successful market launch – data-driven, hands-on, and always with the Funzy target group in mind. At the same time, you will ensure that quality, product data, and compliance are correct: from certificates and CE documentation to adherence to relevant EU regulations and standards throughout the entire supply chain.

Product Development and Product Optimization

  • You will identify new product ideas and categories through in-depth market, trend, and competitor research and translate them into concrete concepts that fit Funzy.
  • You will manage the entire product development process: from briefing, material selection, and sampling to testing and market launch.
  • You will analyze customer feedback data-driven (reasons for return, support tickets, reviews, UGC photos/videos) and derive concrete optimization measures.
  • You will work closely with suppliers, pragmatically solve quality and product issues, and implement improvements directly.
  • You will define and maintain product specifications (dimensions, materials, components, packaging) and ensure a clean handover to Operations/Logistics.

Quality Management and Product Data Maintenance

  • You will be responsible for our certificate management (e.g., TÜV, OEKO-TEX, GS if applicable): documentation, validity periods, renewals, and coordination with partners.
  • You will create and maintain CE declarations of conformity and coordinate tests with external testing laboratories and suppliers.
  • You will ensure compliance with relevant EU regulations and standards (including REACH, product safety, relevant EN standards; ideally in the context of ISO 9001).
  • You will maintain and be responsible for product-related master data: technical data, safety instructions, care instructions, materials, test reports, and documentation.

Requirements

Languages: German & English

  • Completed degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, or a comparable qualification.
  • Minimum of 2-3 years of experience in purchasing, product development, product management, or category management, ideally in a similar role.
  • Preferably experience in consumer goods (ideally furniture, textiles, home & living).
  • Startup Fit: You are comfortable with speed, changing priorities, and imperfect processes – and you build structure precisely where it is most needed.
  • Hands-on mentality and strong ownership: you proactively drive topics, pragmatically solve problems, and bring things to a successful conclusion.
  • Very good understanding of quality, product safety, and compliance in the EU (e.g., CE, relevant EN standards, REACH; certificates like TÜV/OEKO-TEX/GS are a plus).
  • Negotiation skills and persuasive communication abilities.
  • Strong analytical skills and a structured way of working.
  • Enthusiasm for innovative products and trends.
  • Fluent German and English skills.

Benefits

  • Workload: Full-time (40h)
  • Location: Remote
  • Start Date: Immediately or by agreement
  • Insights into the exciting world of a dynamically growing e-commerce startup with plenty of scope for development
  • Modern working: Entitlement to a shared office desk, MacBook, flexible working hours, and remote work from home
  • Unforgettable team events that strengthen team cohesion and provide variety
  • Attractive employee discounts for you and exclusive benefits for family & friends
