[Hiring] Product Lead @Memora

Role Description

This is a remote position.

We're hiring a Product Lead to own the product end to end: a hands-on IC role with real product and cultural ownership. You are not a backlog administrator. You are the person who decides what we build, why, and in what order — and who stands behind that call.

The Why

• Memora is growing rapidly.
• We're selling into a sector with almost no digital precedent, which means there is no playbook to copy and no competitor roadmap to trail.
• We need someone who can:
  • Get the truth from the field — cemetery leaders, gardeners, and grieving families — rather than from a meeting room.
  • Turn messy sector reality (Danish folkekirke structures, legacy systems, public-sector procurement) into product decisions engineers can build from.
  • Prioritise ruthlessly across three live surfaces and say no with reasons.
  • Be a thoughtful, methodical product voice in a small team where every person has outsized influence.

The Surfaces

• Tooling: Jira + Confluence, Figma, PostHog, Grafana for the operational picture.

Qualifications

• Typically 6+ years in product, including at least one role at a growth startup or as an early product hire.
• A track record of shipping software people actually use — you can point at outcomes, not roadmaps.
• Genuinely comfortable doing fieldwork: you will stand on cemeteries in the rain and learn more there than anywhere else.
• Strong written communication — you can make a complex trade-off legible in a page, and you write your own specs.
• Technical enough to hold a real conversation about trade-offs with engineers, and to read the data yourself.
• Comfortable operating in a small team without a clear playbook: you can scope your own work, write your own docs, and chase your own answers.

Requirements

• Strongly preferred:
  • B2B/B2G SaaS experience: sales cycles, real customer relationships, public-sector quirks.
  • Operations-heavy or field-workforce products, where the software has to survive contact with a real working day.
  • Experience with compliance-sensitive data (we're GDPR + public-sector).
  • Marketplace or two-sided product experience.
• Bonus:
  • Experience with cemetery, GIS, or public records systems.
  • You have run discovery in a sector that had never been sold software before.
  • Fluent in Danish.

Benefits

• Senior salary (currency calibrated to location).
• Meaningful early-employee warrant grant: we're early enough that this matters and we want you for the full journey.
• Annual leave + Danish-equivalent benefits.
• 3 offsites a year.

How we work

• We're building Memora to be the kind of company we'd want to work for ourselves: high trust, low bureaucracy, and full of people who care deeply about doing great work.
• We're remote by design. No, we don't track hours or expect people to be online all day, but we do expect ownership, communication, and roughly 4 hours of overlap with Copenhagen (CET).
• We believe great work and great lives aren't in competition with each other.
• We're a small team, which means you'll have real autonomy and real influence.
• We're low ego and high standards. We challenge ideas, admit mistakes, ask questions, and care more about getting to the right answer than being right.
• We're async-first and intentionally lightweight. We write things down, keep meetings purposeful, and avoid process for process' sake.
• We get together for an offsite three times a year somewhere in the world.
