Zervant’s user-friendly invoicing software is used by tens of thousands of entrepreneurs every single day, in 6 different languages and in every European country. Our goal is to become the most popular invoicing software in Europe - bringing a modern solution to an old-school industry. Do you have a passion for customers? A love for building great user experiences? The ability to simplify complex technical challenges? Do you have an unrelenting enthusiasm to motivate, mentor and encourage development in colleagues who share the same values?

If yes, you may just be the new Mobile Product Manager to join our Product Design team.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

At Zervant, Product Design is a team of product managers, designers and marketers at the crossroads of customer understanding, business objectives and technological capability. As a Mobile Product Manager, you will work with your colleagues and external partners to plan, design and deliver constantly improving mobile apps to entrepreneurs across Europe. You will build products that our customers love and recommend to their peers.

Product development activities at Zervant are organised into semi-autonomous product squads, each led by a product manager. Each has the opportunity to contribute on a broad scale, from strategic vision and pricing to technical and UX details.

In this role, you will be working very closely with a UI/UX designer and a development team specialised in native mobile app development for Android and iOS platforms respectively. You will also collaborate with a number of other stakeholders from teams across the company, including marketing (to promote apps), customer success (to resolve problems) and management (to agree on roadmaps).

Your day-to-day tasks will include:

• Owning the mobile apps user experience, sweating the small stuff and pursuing perfection as an advocate of our customers. 
• Being involved at all levels, hands on. You are the first person to specify a concept and the last person to accept delivery, working closely with engineers and designers all the way.
• Creating roadmaps, working across the organisation to align stakeholder priorities and driving execution against set roadmaps.
• Defining product performance indicators, tracking performance on a daily basis and constantly pushing for iterative improvements based on real-time analytics.
• Understanding the competitive landscape and pursuing a strategy to position Zervant as the best mobile invoicing solution for entrepreneurs across Europe.
• Identifying user needs, evaluating their importance and technical feasibility, forecasting benefits and understanding constraints set by industry regulation.
• Creating product specifications for development to define the problem, planned solution and success criteria.
• Creating product marketing materials for marketing and customer support to define target customers, value propositions and intended product behaviour.
• Working closely with Google Play Store and Apple App Store marketplaces to understand constantly evolving requirements and drive user adoption.

WHAT WE EXPECT

You are an energetic self-starter who enjoys a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

You have at least 2 years of experience in product management in the software industry. Ideally, you also have a few years of complementary experience in marketing, business development, or similar. Hands-on experience with mobile apps development or in the financial services industry is a big plus!

Team play, flexibility, willingness to learn and an entrepreneurial mindset are essential qualities. You also have a track record of setting and achieving measurable performance targets.

In terms of academic background, a master’s degree in business administration or software engineering, or equivalent experience, is expected. Given that our working language is English, you will need to be fluent in both the spoken and written form. Knowledge of additional European languages is of significant benefit.

WHY WORK FOR ZERVANT

Zervant is a flat organisation, with minimal bureaucracy. We believe that people perform best when given responsibility, rewarding work and the authority to try out new ideas. We share our learnings, mistakes and achievements openly. You will gain insight into the operations of an entire company and not just your cubicle (in fact, there are no cubicles in our office, we prefer open workspaces).

All work and no play doesn’t do any good in the long run. We pay close attention to the social side of things and strive to create a relaxed and fun environment. Somewhere you look forward to going when you get up every morning, where you have great colleagues and interesting work to keep you going. You will also love the barbecues on our rooftop terrace with a view across the Helsinki archipelago. Find out more about who we are and what we stand for here.

Please apply by 14.2.2021. Also note that we will start interviewing candidates already during the application period so we encourage you to apply early.
