Requirements

• Exhibit deep curiosity to understand customers and all elements influencing their experience, offering comprehensive, integrated solutions that address real needs.
• Operate effectively in uncertain, fast-changing environments, as often found in startup-like situations.
• Strong intellectual capacity, curiosity, proactiveness, and solid foundational product skills enable quick adaptation even without prior domain exposure.
• Seamlessly switch between defining long-term vision and deep-diving into execution details when required.
• As an individual contributor, comfortably navigate between strategy and execution to deliver impact.
• Familiarity with tools in the PM space, such as Jira, Figma or generative AI tools, though tool-specific experience is less crucial. A capable PM with strong core skills will learn quickly.
