As an Associate Product Manager joining the Product Academy, you will be placed in one of our teams that both power Wise and ensure our customers have a safe and convenient experience when using us.

After your successful graduation from the Product Academy, you will transition into a full-time member of the Wise Product team!

Job Description

What is Product Academy?

It’s a 10 week tailored programme in which every week you will get to spend time both on dedicated sessions to learn about Product Management, and also with learning on the job by working on your own projects/products.

You will start working on your domain (i.e. the team you are hired into), but spend most of Monday and Friday with Product Academy.

Every week will have a topic - Mondays will be more for  presentations, and by the end of it you will get an assignment that you need to work on until Friday. On Friday, you present your results!

For every topic, our goal is to talk about the generic concept, the Wise specific and also the practical bits (tools, real examples).

This will include exciting bits, such as:
 

Product vision, strategy & roadmap

OKRs, KPIs & Measuring

Stakeholder management

Planning

Agile development, working with developers

… And many others!

This role will give you the opportunity to:

Transition to the world of product management - you will have a tailored learning program delivered by some of the most experience product people at Wise who will cover a broad range of topics

Apply what you learn to real world problems - you will be working with engineers and other stakeholders to clarify the problem, decide on the best solution and build it, measure and iterate on what you have built 

Have a measurable impact in a PM role - While you will have tailored learning programs, you will still spend a significant amount of your time working in a cross functional team as any other PM at Wise - and through this have a measurable impact on Wise’s customers and mission

Work across the entire product lifecycle - you will go through the entire lifecycle of a product, from problem hypothesis and validation to solution implementation, measurement and iteration.
