This is a genuinely autonomous role. You'll be the only product person, which means independence and impact, but also means you won't have a product team around you for support or collaboration. If you thrive in ambiguity and like building things from scratch, this could be ideal. If you prefer established product processes and frameworks, it might be challenging.
You'll report to the CTO and work closely with the Director of Software Engineering. You'll need to be comfortable with technical discussions and earn credibility with an engineering-heavy organisation.
The interview process would typically be structured as follows:
- Initial chat. This would be with a member of our recruitment team and help to better understand your current situation, what you are looking for and any questions you may have
- Product Interview. This will be with the CTO and engineering leadership, covering your approach to product ownership and stakeholder management
- Case Study. We'll share a realistic product scenario and ask you to talk through your approach
- Final Interview. This will cover cultural fit, working style and how you'd approach the first 90 days
Our employees are our top priority; we offer comprehensive health and wellness plans. You will enjoy paid time off and company holidays, flexible and remote-friendly opportunities, and maternity/paternity leave.
At Provenir, we recognize that diversity and inclusion make our teams stronger. We are committed to equal employment opportunity and welcome everyone regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, national origin, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, domestic partner status, citizenship, or veteran status or medical condition.
