people.io is looking for an energetic and entrepreneurial Product Manager to lead the future roadmap of our highly publicised data & attention economy.
We’re building a digital service that enables people to license their personal data and attention to brands, in return for a payment or reward. As ad-blocking continues it’s mind boggling growth and EU Data Protection regulation looms over the industry, we believe the best solution for everyone, is to simply put the consumer in control.
As Product Manager, you will interface with industry experts, analysts, engineers, finance, and user experience designers to solve large, exciting challenges that seek to fundamentally shift the way an entire industry thinks.
You’ll be working closely with an incredible team of engineers and UX architects, in addition to our growth and operational leads. Your passion for product will be central to everything we do, working closely with the founder and our partners to understand requirements before working alongside our technical lead and other team members to map out our plan of action.
We’re really looking to hire a person, not a position, so if you feel passionate about our vision – lets chat.
