Position Overview:
The Role:
We are seeking an Associate Product Manager/Product Manager for the next 9-12 months. This is a great chance to leverage your PM foundation for difference-making products and services for justice-impacted communities.
We believe this position is a great fit for someone looking to greatly expand specifically their early-stage product experience (especially if you are interested in financial products).
You will collaborate directly with the founders of the company and our full-stack developer to co-design and implement a full-fledged product strategy and game plan (product roadmap). You aren’t fully starting from scratch, our immediate product priority is to get a few minimum viable products (MVPs) out the door and validate. You will focus on “How do we build it?” (“it” being an early stage prototype) by updating our current barebones user stories, crafting user personas, creating prototypes and testing hypotheses. You will also balance that with “what we should build” which will include the creation of new user stories and user interviews. Lastly, this may include work around pricing strategies or distribution strategies.
In sum, you will use our learnings gained through prior user research to design MVPs, build cost scenarios (determining economics of a particular feature or product), revenue scenarios (when applicable) and get the traction needed to fundraise for building beyond an MVP. In collaboration with the CEO, you will co-manage new products from designs to prototypes, specifications, and to live deployments during private and public betas. This will likely include design of integrations with no-code platforms and third-party financial APIs.
