[Hiring] Product Manager @Wave

Role Description

We're solving this by building financial services that just work: no account fees, instantly available, and accepted everywhere. In places where electricity, water and roads don't always work, you can still send money with Wave.

In this role, you'll...

• Own how Wave’s general work tools get used.
• Help operations teams use AI efficiently and safely.
• Care about the person, but solve for the company.
• Make sure each problem gets solved the right way.
• Build the team this work needs, starting with you.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in product management, or in a similar role where you owned products or processes end-to-end, ideally in high-ownership, fast-paced environments like scale-ups.
• Proven success in overseeing all elements of the product development lifecycle, such as user research, design, implementation and evaluation.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience designing and improving operational workflows that save teams time, produce accurate results, and run reliably at a reasonable cost.
• AI-fluent: you’ve used tools like Claude or ChatGPT to build skills, automations, or workflows that did something meaningful in your actual job, not just experiments.
• Speak fluent English.

Requirements

• Bonus if you speak at least conversational French.
• Have worked with Slack and an enterprise workflow tool like Monday, Jira or Linear.
• Have worked in or closely with large operations teams (support, field, finance).
• Are a mobile money user in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Benefits

• Subsidised health insurance for you and your dependents, and retirement contributions (both vary from country to country).
• 6 months of fully paid parental leave and subsidised fertility assistance.
• Flexible vacation, with most folks taking between 21-30 days per year.
• $10,000 annual charitable donation matching.

Company Description

Wave is now the largest financial institution in Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, and the Gambia. We work with millions of users every month, employ thousands of people, and are growing rapidly.

Our approach to building products may not be what you’ve seen in other places. Our processes are lightweight, informed by principles instead of methodologies and our PMs don’t just manage backlogs full of polished tickets.
