Senior Product Manager

Job Description

Our mission is to make meaningful learning a part of your everyday 🧠. The shelf life of our skills is now less than 5 years. So, if you stopped learning today, your skills would soon be irrelevant. Think that’s a big problem? You’d be right.

Enter HowNow. Founded in 2019, our Learning and Skills Platform is disrupting the way people learn and upskill through technology. Whether it's finding a quick answer, learning skills or tapping into shared knowledge, we make it easy for people to learn what they need, when they need it.

Already used by fast-growing scale-ups and global enterprises, such as Trainline, Depop and Sanofi, we’re pushing the boundaries of how people learn.

Hi I'm Nelson the CEO and Co Founder at HowNow 👋🏾 I’m looking for a Senior Product Manager to join us.

• You have experience with modern delivery methodologies including Agile, Scrum and Kanban.
• You understand building hypotheses from first principles, critically assessing information rather than accepting received wisdom.
