Who Will Succeed HereAs a PM at Novo, you’ll have a tangible impact by shaping financial products that empower entrepreneurs and small business owners across the country. You will love the work if:
You thrive in ambiguity - you’re energized by building in a lean, fast-moving, evolving environment where not everything is figured out.
You’re customer-obsessed - you always tie decisions back to what drives value for small business owners.
You balance strategy with execution - you can zoom out to shape a long-term vision and zoom in to write a crisp product spec in the same day.
You’re data-driven but pragmatic - you use metrics and financial models to guide choices, but you don’t get stuck in analysis paralysis.
You embrace collaboration and challenges - you enjoy partnering with passionate teammates across engineering, banking, risk, legal, compliance, and design and fostering healthy debates to build best-in-class financial products and innovations.
You’re a scrappy builder - you roll up your sleeves to build and get things done.
You take ownership - you don’t just ship features, you take responsibility for business outcomes and iterate until they work.
