Product Manager (80-100%) 

LEVA is building a cutting-edge software ecosystem for private markets, integrating essential services such as legal, financial, and tax accounting within a single operating system. Our mission is to improve the efficiency of the private markets which have not experienced innovation in the past 30 years and are still related to outdated processes. The venture capital industry is where we started, working with leading venture capital firms, family offices, asset management firms and emerging managers, but 2024 is a transformative year when we will expand to multiple new asset classes.

At Leva we are building the tools for a new breed of investors they need to fund the winners of tomorrow. If you are eager to be part of this change, join a fast-growing and innovative start-up and be part of the next growth phase. 

A day in the life as a Product Manager

You participate in the full lifecycle of product development, including conducting research & discovery to understand our clients' needs, developing a product roadmap, being the owner of the product roadmap together with the CTO, running sprint planning meetings and standups, and collaborating with partner teams to deliver the best possible product.

• Develop and own the product roadmap: You will work with internal and external stakeholders to understand what to build and when to build it 
• Lead Product Requirements: You will lead the development of the product requirements. This includes defining product features and specifications in a well-defined product requirement document. You’ll justify projects against key company objectives and user needs
• Conduct research and analysis: In order to frame the requirements, you’ll need to collect supporting evidence–from user interviews, market research, and competitive analysis. 
• Cross Team Collaboration: You will work with the engineering, design, legal and business development teams to ensure the product and features meet the needs of our customers and internal needs and compliance requirements
