The Role

We are looking for a self-driven, customer-centric Product Manager, to help us deliver a “best in class” product that helps our customers buy, exchange and trade digital collectables.

If you’re a passionate self-starter, seasoned in creating, leading, and delivering great products from the ground up, then this role presents a unique opportunity to have a real impact on product creation and delivery moving forward.

• Produce specifications for individual features that are key to the product.
• Develop an understanding of current and future customer needs, supported by data analysis and the strategic roadmap.
• Anticipate business and user needs in recommending product direction in the future

• An impeccable eye for detail and passion for quality
• Strong understanding of web analytics and how to analyse data to spot opportunities and make decisions.
• Self-motivated. You will need the drive to lead, inspire and get things done.
• Some experience or strong knowledge of NFT marketplaces would be advantageous although not essential.

Why work for us

We are an exciting startup in a very disruptive industry, and this will be the opportunity for the right candidate to work at the forefront of bleeding-edge innovation and put their stamp on best-in-class products.

• No micromanagement. You will have the autonomy to present your approach and discuss the best ways to deliver the product.
