Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for product managers who thrive in fast-paced environments and value the trust that comes with true ownership
- You’re equally comfortable zooming out to shape strategy and zooming in to clarify details, unblock your team, and make the final call on what goes live
- You’re analytical, user-centered, and deeply collaborative—you work shoulder-to-shoulder with design and engineering, not above or around them
- You believe the best product decisions come from empowered teams, not lone heroes
- You welcome complexity, knowing the hard decisions earn their resolution through shared ownership, tough trade-offs, and informed debate
- You’re curious and always learning—willing to dive into any area that helps the team move forward, whether it’s in your lane or not
- You make reasoned decisions and can explain them clearly to anyone, from engineers to execs
- And above all, you care about building the right thing in the right way, with and for the humans who use—and build—it
- This is not a role for someone looking to architect product strategy from scratch — it’s for someone who thrives in a delivery-focused role and loves making products better every sprint
- 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in a SaaS or startup environment
- Strong experience leading cross-functional teams to deliver impactful products
- Experience working closely with engineers and designers to define and ship features
- Ability to use data (quantitative and qualitative) to guide decisions and measure success
- Proficient in Generative AI and insatiable curiosity to explore emerging tech; bonus if you’ve worked hands-on building AI-native products
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills across disciplines
- Experience working in a fully remote environment and managing async workflows
- Strong sense of ownership and ability to operate independently
- Fluent written and verbal English skills
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a highly skilled and experienced Senior Product Manager to join our team
- If you're excited about shaping the future of workforce upskilling — by driving strategy, defining experiences powered by Generative AI, and working alongside a world-class team — this could be your next great adventure!
- At Workera, we believe product managers are key to shaping what we build
- You’ll work closely with engineers, designers, and stakeholders across the company to identify opportunities, define solutions, and deliver outcomes that delight our users and support our business goals
- To support this, we organize into small project teams (2–3 people), using the ShapeUp methodology
- Each team dives deep for six weeks to solve a focused business problem
- As a PM, you’ll be responsible for shaping compelling project pitches, aligning stakeholders early, guiding your team through discovery, and capturing user insights to inform future iterations
- You’ll also be a thought partner to the engineering and design leads, helping to balance tradeoffs, clarify scope, and create a clear, inspiring vision for your area
- You’ll be joining a tight-knit team of five engineers, supported by a product designer, and an engineering manager — all located across the US and LATAM region
- Ou’ll have ownership over product decisions in your area, with additional support and guidance from our Head of Product and our CEO
- Our shared mission is to help people and organizations make smarter talent decisions—by delivering a skills intelligence experience that supports better hiring, meaningful growth, and career mobility at every stage
- In your first 30 days, you’ll get oriented by:
- Learning about our product, team structure, and internal processes
- Building relationships with engineering, design, and cross-functional stakeholders
- Reviewing our current roadmap, metrics, and user feedback to get grounded
- Within 60 days, you’ll be embedded and contributing by:
- Taking ownership of your first project or initiative
- Helping your team shape clear product pitches and define scope
- Participating in build cycles and facilitating strong communication across your team
- By 90 days, you’ll be a fully independent contributor, able to:
- Lead a full discovery cycle and work hand-in-hand with the engineering manager for delivery
- Align stakeholders around tradeoffs, risks, and business impact
- Use data and user research to inform priorities and refine solutions
- From there, your path is wide open—whether you're passionate about growth loops, product discovery, user research, AI features, or internal tooling, there's plenty of opportunity to lead and shape the future
Our take
Companies currently struggle to find a learning platform that can upskill and reskill their talent quickly, in accordance with the fast development of the technology used in different key roles such as data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
Workera is an upskilling startup that helps companies evaluate their data and AI capabilities and provide their employees with personalized learning plans to keep them updated on the latest technologies and practices. The company uses AI and machine learning to evaluate the current skillsets within a company and to design a learning plan that will help businesses' workforce reach a particular level of understanding of new technology.
Although Workera is an early-stage ed-tech startup, it is already working with Fortune 500 companies, including Siemens Energy. To help capitalize on the increasing budgets companies are extending to staff skill development, Workera has recently raised $23.5m, which will be invested in expanding its product offerings and growing the size of its developer team.
