What will you do?
As said, you will join us as a Product Manager. Working with the Head of Product, Technology Team and the wider business, you will turn customer and business needs into product development or product improvements. You will contribute to the product strategy needed to meet our business goals 🚀, own the roadmap for one or more products, and manage the development of products, features and maintenance.
We expect you to be the subject matter expert for the products you own, and will drive the delivery of the next generation of products for Novicap.
More importantly, you will make decisions based on analysis, stakeholder feedback, and overall business goals. In doing so, you will ensure alignment between Product, Tech, and other teams with respect to product vision and project implementation.
You will collaborate with teams across the entire organization to contribute to our growth plans. You will drive the scaling of our business by:
Managing the improvement of the existing proposition to make it more relevant to our existing and target customers, more profitable and easier to operate;
Owning product discovery and new product development to satisfy the unmet needs of potential clients, including short-term lending and enhancing our collateral capabilities;
Working with Sales to showcase the benefits of our product through demonstrations, simulations and proposals;
Scaling operational processes to allow us to support an expanded client portfolio;
Working with Risk and Legal to minimize and/or manage credit risk when operating our products.
How will you do it?
With integrity. Transparency and clarity are two of the cornerstones of our work. We honor our agreements and take 100% responsibility for our actions. Furthermore, we are aware that we can always improve and we welcome feedback, in order to continue to grow 🚀.
We always exceed expectations, ensuring the highest levels of professionalism, and we strive to outperform, taking a data-driven approach.
And finally, we are generous and give first. We support and contribute to our community, putting our interests first and seeking the common good above our own interests.
The team is distributed across Barcelona, but we also have offices in Madrid. We encourage people to manage their own hours (flexibility is key) and, since we are growing this team, we expect you to spend some time in our Barcelona office with the team and the rest of Novicapers 🙂 (we can tell you you’ll have fun!).
Who will you be working with?
You will report directly to the Head of Product and will be working closely with another Product Manager, the Tech team and the rest Novicapers across Madrid and Barcelona. A young and dynamic team that’s waiting for you with arms open!
What do we need from you?
We need someone with a product mindset, who thinks repeatable and scalable value over short-term wins and who is comfortable working in startup environments and refining ambiguous details. Sounds like you?
As a Product Manager at Novicap, you must also have listening and communication skills in English and in Spanish (multicultural team here!) that help you both with listening to what's not being said and influence others to help achieve business goals. Both things will help you in building relationships across all domains and levels in the organization.
We expect that you are a doer and take ownership of your role, being independent in achieving personal and team objectives. If you are confident to understand and then challenge and you like process thinking and problem solving and the strategic part of it all, this is your place!
What do you need to succeed?:
4+ years of Product management experience in a B2B lending product in a technology-driven environment
Direct experience of product discovery or management experience in working capital products in Spain
Experience in driving cross-functional teams to deliver business goals through technology
Experience identifying, sourcing, curating, researching and validating business opportunities
