Product Manager, UK

Job Description

Start date: October 2023

We are Multiverse, a tech scaleup with a social mission. We’re creating a diverse group of future leaders by building an outstanding alternative to university and corporate training, through the power of professional apprenticeships.

We’re one of the fastest-growing businesses in Europe and rapidly expanding in North America, working with over 500 clients including Facebook, KPMG, Morgan Stanley and the NHS. In June 2022, we broke the EdTech funding record (again!) by announcing our $220m Series D, making Multiverse the UK’s first ever EdTech unicorn.

Join us on our journey to democratising access to the best careers and learning opportunities.

The Opportunity

Our engineering, design and product team is 50 strong and growing fast. We split across 3 domains: Candidate, Apprentice and Client. In each area we need Product Managers plotting a bold course to the next version of Multiverse while delivering value continuously. You’ll be working in a cross-functional squad with software engineers, a designer, and a researcher to build a product that supports people at different stages of their career, from those just starting out to those who have already built and established themselves.

No two days at Multiverse are the same, so we need someone who is comfortable with the unknown unknowns. On top of that, we want someone who will be passionate about building structure and process into our growing team in a way that doesn’t hold us back from achieving our goals.
