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!
