Role
Who you are
- You have a minimum of 6 years of experience in B2B or B2B2C product management, with a proven track record of shipping high-performing products
- You are comfortable writing your own SQL queries and building Mixpanel dashboards to find the data you need to inform your decisions
- You love talking to customers regularly, and can easily synthesize customer insights with quantitative data to drive strategy and prioritization
- You can navigate technical trade-off conversations with Engineering, debate the pros and cons of different UX approaches with Design, and tie prioritization decisions back to customer and revenue impact for our Go-To-Market teams
- You have strong communication and interpersonal skills; you know how to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences, and you are a natural at building collaborative relationships with cross-functional teams
- You instinctively find the right balance between shipping fast and shipping high quality – all without losing sight of the longer-term vision
- You have a bias toward action – even if the problem is ambiguous, you find ways to break it down into achievable milestones and work toward clarity, but you are also not beholden to rigid processes and frameworks over getting the job done
- You default to an ownership mentality, love being hands-on, and successfully drive any problem to a resolution end-to-end

Our take
For the 15 million new immigrants who arrive in the US each year, it’s crucial to have a working credit history. Without this, they’ll be unable to rent an apartment, apply for a credit card or in some cases even get a job. The issue is that their credit history won’t have travelled with them, so lenders in their new country won’t be able to verify their eligibility. Nova Credit's founders experienced this problem first-hand, as Esipov is a first-generation Russian immigrant.
Nova Credit imports financial histories to enable immigrants to set up lives in new countries, with their ‘Credit Passport’. This is a digital framework that connects an individual’s credit history information from one country into the country where they are currently residing.
Nova Credit is currently able to import credit history from 8 countries, its most recent addition being the UK in January 2023. Since being accepted to Y Combinator in 2016, the company has since raised considerable funding from major finance players such as HSBC. Nova Credit has grown its footprint significantly, covering more than 1 billion consumer credit profiles, with further expansion in sight.
