You'll drive the development process, ensuring we deliver high-quality products that meet customer needs, spearhead product adoption, and conduct performance analysis to drive continuous improvement.

This is a full-time role reporting directly to the Head of Product. This role is remote-friendly, but candidates based in the New York City Metropolitan area or Eastern Time Zone are strongly preferred.

Nova Credit offers a dynamic and inclusive work environment where you can meaningfully impact the lives of people historically excluded from the credit system. We value diversity, intellectual honesty, and innovation and are committed to supporting our team members' professional growth and development. If you're passionate about leveraging technology to drive financial inclusion, we want to hear from you!

Listen in on customer calls and review customer feedback to understand their pain points and needs.

Dive into our product metrics and company KPIs to find areas for improvement.

Deliver on at least 1 key feature from the roadmap, while making a preliminary assessment on longer-term goals and priorities.

YOUR SKILLSET:

You have a minimum of 8 years of experience in B2B or B2B2C product management, with a proven track record of shipping high-performing products.

You are comfortable writing your own SQL queries and building Mixpanel dashboards to find the data you need to inform your decisions.

You love talking to customers on a regular basis, and can easily synthesize customer insights with quantitative data to drive strategy and prioritization.

You can navigate technical trade-off conversations with Engineering partners.

You can debate pros and cons of different UX approaches with Design teams.

You effectively tie prioritization decisions back to customer and revenue impact for our Go-To-Market teams.

You instinctively find the right balance between shipping fast and shipping high quality – all without losing sight of the longer-term vision.

You have a bias toward action – even if the problem is ambiguous, you find ways to break it down into achievable milestones and work toward clarity, but you are also not beholden to rigid processes and frameworks over getting the job done.

You default to an ownership mentality and love being hands-on, and successfully drive any problem to a resolution end-to-end.

BONUS QUALIFICATIONS:

You have deep industry knowledge within FinTech, particularly in the credit and risk space, working with consumer-permissioned or credit data.
