About the Role

We’re hiring our first Product Manager. Someone ready to take full ownership of Niva’s core product roadmap and drive the next phase of growth.

You’ll define our product vision, set strategy, and execute relentlessly, working side by side with our founders, engineers, and designers to make business onboarding seamless for the world’s leading fintechs and enterprises.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in unstructured environments, moves fast, and obsesses over crafting delightful user experiences for complex workflows.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Drive the product strategy and vision

    • Define our roadmap and prioritize high-impact features that drive value for our enterprise customers

  • Become the resident domain expert

    • Conduct interviews, shadow sales calls, and analyze complex customer workflows to uncover friction points in verifying businesses

  • Translate customer insights into product breakthroughs

    • Develop features that address pain points that customers did not believe could be solved, like how we reduce back-and-forth during the onboarding process with instantly validating complex legal documents.

  • Foster tight collaboration between product, engineering, and design

    • Create alignment on priorities and a shared product vision.

  • Measure and iterate

    • Define success metrics (e.g., verification completion rate, time-to-decision) and continuously optimize for impact.

You're Probably a Match If You Have

  • 3+ years of product management experience, including time at a high-growth startup.

  • Proven success building and scaling B2B enterprise products.

  • Strong product sense and the judgment to balance user needs with business goals.

  • Ability to make clear decisions amid ambiguity and ship fast in early-stage environments.

  • A 0→1 builder’s mindset — you’ve taken products from concept to launch and learned fast from real users.

  • Excitement to help shape not just the product, but also the company and culture from the ground up.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary

  • Substantial equity in the company

  • Comprehensive health benefits (medical, dental, vision)

  • Flexible working hours and flexible time off

  • A chance to be a part of a pioneering company with a mission to revolutionize global trust and commerce
