Precision for Medicine is hiring a Product Manager who will own a product or feature holistically, including internal tooling. You'll lead cross-functional teams to define product goals and roadmaps, drive in-market user research in Africa, and manage a small product team to deliver rapid iterations. We're deeply passionate about our mission of bringing radically affordable financial services to the people who need them most.
What You'll Do
- Lead cross-functional teams with full ownership of their product domain.
- Define product goals, metrics, and roadmaps based on user needs and mission impact.
- Drive user research, especially in-market across Africa, using in-person research and data-driven perspectives.
- Write clear, compelling design docs and facilitate async, fast-moving decision-making.
- Over-communicate context, priorities, and decisions to ensure team alignment.
- Adjust priorities quickly based on feedback, experiments, or new learnings.
- Solve problems holistically, whether through product features, ops tooling or process changes.
- Champion our users and hold us accountable to meeting them where they are.
- Own a product or feature holistically, including any internal tooling needed to support it.
- Relentlessly gather feedback (by talking to users and looking at data) to deeply understand the problem space and our users' needs.
- Work from first principles to understand the user's biggest problems and then figure out how the product should work to solve those problems.
- Prioritize the biggest problems blocking the product's growth and impact.
- Directly manage a small product team to get improvements into users' hands in rapid iteration cycles.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in product management, ideally in high-ownership fast-paced environments like scale-ups or startups.
- Proven success in overseeing all elements of the product development lifecycle, such as user research, design, implementation and evaluation.
- Speak fluent English.
- Are a strong communicator that can inspire and lead by influence.
- Are great at coordinating across teams and excel at communicating across multiple cultures.
- Have a good nose for user-focused product design and obsess over user experience.
- Take ownership for outcomes and do whatever you can to make them close to inevitable.
- Have strong instincts for asking questions that could move the needle.
- Have the courage and persistence to replan when feedback or new information arrives.
- Always listen with empathy but ruthlessly prioritize based on impact.
- Are excited about travel and meet users where they are — your users will be in Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, and other countries in Africa, and some travel will be essential.
Nice to Have
- Speak at least conversational French.
- Have professional experience in a consumer fintech company.
- Are a mobile money user in Sub-Saharan Africa.
- Resonate deeply with how we do product and have experience working that way.
Benefits & Compensation
- Compensation: $142,200 - $181,400 USD + equity: generous equity package.
- Subsidised health insurance for you and your dependents, and retirement contributions (both vary from country to country).
- 6 months of fully paid parental leave and subsidised fertility assistance.
- Flexible vacation, with most folks taking between 21-30 days per year.
- $10,000 annual charitable donation matching.
- Yearly $1,200 stipend to support coworking meetups with teammates.
