Company mission
Upvest's mission is to make investing as easy as spending money and to enable businesses to build investment experiences their customers love.
Role
Who you are
- 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

- Shape the new generation of reconciliation system that oversees millions of transactions

- Reimagine treasury for modern banking
- You will build a next-generation treasury and liquidity management system that gives Upvest real-time control over cash flows, funding, and risk across multiple banks
- You will build a smart system aggregating and moving millions of Euro in minutes challenging traditionally slow industry practices
- Autonomy coupled with inspirational leadership: When we say empowered teams we mean it. In this role you will fully own product success with your team - with your manager and senior leadership ready to support you at all times
- Product-centricity throughout the organisation: At Upvest we highly value the importance of product and our Product team’s work. No struggle for relevance that product people may encounter elsewhere
- Product Engineering culture: Teams are working together guided by joint OKRs and a clear roadmap. Collaborate closely with your engineering counterparts to deliver client value in a decoupled and dynamic manner
- An exceptional team: Upvest’s Product team is one of a kind when it comes to combining impactful work with a relaxed and fun atmosphere. We have established strong practices around feedback, team health and social events
- Continuous learning: The complex yet fascinating field of investments, building an API product on a state-of-the-art tech stack, and working with the most relevant fintechs and financial institutions provide for an incredibly rewarding learning experience. It is a great opportunity if you aspire to grow professionally and
Our take
Upvest is a fintech startup that empowers financial services companies to provide their customers with access to a full range of financial assets, including stocks, ETFs and crypto products. Upvest's investment API integrates seamlessly with its customers existing systems and is designed to scale easily, freeing companies from the need to develop their own brokerage and custody infrastructure from scratch.
As one of the few companies in Germany that is licensed for both the custody of traditional securities and crypto, Upvest is able to provide its services across Europe. Its solution has been readily adopted by some major players in the space including Ginmon, Vivid and ABN AMRO.
Upvest is backed by a number of Europe's largest tech VCs (Earlybird, Notion Capital, Partech, HV Capital, ABN AMRO Ventures) alongside American investment monolith BlackRock. In 2023, it closed a VC investment round, which the company has claimed is one of the largest in the German fintech arena. This was followed up by an impressive Series C at the end of 2024, which is being used to grow its team, enhance its product and cement its presence in the UK.
