Product Lead

Description

We’re looking for a Product Lead to join our growing Product team in Tallinn. The role is a unique opportunity to join one of the fastest growing companies in Europe and help millions more potential customers save money by using TransferWise. You'll be leading, coaching and growing our Product team, who build the vision and strategy for our products. 

Your mission:

• Your mission is to lead product managers through the full software lifecycle – from clearly identifying a challenge or desired outcome, through ideation, requirements definition, design, build, release, testing, evaluation and iteration
• Motivate teams by developing and constantly sharing a compelling vision for the product, driven by customer insight and data
• Develop, coach, support and grow product managers into world leading product leaders
• You will focus on improving the TransferWise consumer product, and raising the bar for exceptional products worldwide.
• Specifically in this role - you will be leading other Product Managers bringing out the best in them and inspiring them to build great products.

This role will give you the opportunity to:

• Choose your own path to success - you’ll have the freedom to define the vision and the responsibility for making it happen
• Be flexible in how and where you work, we understand everyone needs a little something different so we’ll do our best to make it happen
• Inspire teams with your ideas, knowledge and self-starting attitude

A bit about you:

• You place customers first. You make no compromise on this.
• You inspire others: You can explain the customer problems clearly and include others in the team to discuss solutions.
• You strive to be the best: Self-driven and make things happen, show a strong desire to succeed, always looking for opportunities, determined in pursuit of your own and your customers' goals.
• You’re a great communicator: An effective communicator, you’re straight up and honest. You can adapt your communication style to different audiences. You’re able to persuade others and you aren’t afraid to challenge something when you need to.
• You have an ability to work with a team to develop an inspiring product vision of how you see our product developing.
• A proven track record of being able to deliver highly ambitious products. You’ll be ready to show what these are, and how you made it happen. You also need to demonstrate the ability to move metrics and reach your KPI goals.
• You are data-driven. You need to be able to prioritise the value you can add to customers, and get the entire company behind you. Numbers are the best way to do this. You are very rigorous about measuring impact and assessing expected impact.
• You know how to dissociate a bad MVP from a good one and can tell the difference between an A/B test that adds value and a one that is useless.
• You can lead people and build teams - you can hire for awesome talent and also get the best out of people reporting to you.
• You understand how systems are built, preferably you have coded before and know how to write your own SQL.

What we offer in return:

Apart from the all-expenses-paid company trips, stock options in one of Europe’s most hotly tipped startups, a laptop and team lunches every other Thursday, you won’t get much in the way of extras. However, we will give you 28 days holiday a year (plus public holidays), a fun, friendly atmosphere, plenty of opportunities to grow and the chance to be part of our irreversible change in how money moves across the world.

Not from Estonia? - No stress, we will help you (and your family) with full relocation from any part of the world!
