Role requirements

You have

up to 2

years experience working in Product Management roles - ideally with focus on

Finance or Accounting

. Experience in financial services/investing, B2B SaaS or FinTech is a big plus. If you don't have any experience in product management but are willing to intensively learn on the job - let's talk anyway! You have a clear bias for impact and speed in product discovery and delivery. Be a sponge! We don't need you to be a finance or trading industry expert. But you will need to be able to absorb knowledge on complicated topics quickly (e.g.

subledger reconciliation, mutual fund trading flow

) and combine with product management best practices. Experience with product manager's toolkits - such as product discovery, ticketing and documentation software (e.g., Linear, Slite, Miro, Figma etc.) Experience with SQL and basic understanding of any programming language (Python, R) is a big plus.

Why Upvest?

We're working on solving a hard problem: fixing the European securities financial infrastructure that empowers more people to be able to invest. You have the opportunity to contribute to this change. We invest in you. From access to a personal coach, development budget and plenty of opportunities to grow in your role. We take hiring seriously with a strong focus on keeping a high bar when interviewing (equally important is that we also hire decent people who are passionate about their craft and helping us achieve our shared mission). While we're not quite fully-remote, we are committed to being a flexible employer as we understand you don't have to be in the office to do your best work. We live in a culture of empowerment, trust (that we hire the best people and get out of their way) and openness (there's a greater advantage in sharing information than keeping it to ourselves).

Our values:

Learn and grow*. We aim high to shape our future. We give and request honest feedback knowing that we develop together. Progression over perfection.
Team first.We make it easy for others. We value our differences and are open to others' opinions. We win and celebrate together! Team over egos. Own the outcome.Whether we win or we lose, we stand together. We are proactive and get the job done. Outcome over process. Tell the story.We always start with the why. We share knowledge to empower others. Transparency over complexity.

We're based in Berlin but also hiring remotely for this role. We also have offices in Tallinn and London.
