1. Helping them understand the taxonomy and dynamics of the spaces they are interested in.
2. Mapping out all the players operating in those spaces.

This is the perfect time to join us!

👩🏼🎨 What we expect from you

• Leadership & Management
  • As a key member of the Product Management team, you will work alongside our Co-Founder & COO / CPO, formerly Product at Google, our Lead Product Manager, and the whole product team.
  • You will also have the opportunity to be the PM of one of our cross‑functional teams.
• User-Centric Mindset
  • Be in continuous and close contact with users to deeply understand their pains, needs, and workflows. You are expected to lead by example, shadowing our users on a continuous basis as a non‑negotiable to build a best‑in‑class product.
  • Own the value and viability risks. If reading this rings the bell for you, that's a very good sign.
• Outcome-Driven Mindset
  • Focus your work on impact, not just output—measured by adoption, usability, and contribution to our North Star Metric.
  • Help translate user problems into solutions that accelerate discovery, adoption, and customer success.
• Excellence in English Communication
  • Possess a high level of spoken and written English. This is a Must.
  • Be able to independently run demanding discovery, shadowing, and user interviews with senior corporate stakeholders—capturing nuance, context, and emotion without supervision.
  • Translate complex user insights into crisp documentation and narratives that the broader team can act on immediately.
• Agility & Experimentation
  • Leverage AI to conduct rapid prototyping, experimentation, and lean slicing to validate ideas fast (Dual-Track Agile: Discovery + Delivery).
  • Drive a culture of continuous learning and quick iteration, embracing mistakes as part of discovery.
• Innovation & Differentiation
  • Leverage AI advancements to enhance product experiences, while keeping simplicity at the core.
  • Stay ahead of product management trends in AI‑enabled workflows, personalization, and decision‑making tools.
• Strategic Partnering
  • Work as an integral part of the Product Trio (Product Manager + Product Designer + ProductEngineering Lead), ensuring alignment on outcomes, priorities, and trade‑offs.
  • Provide clear, high‑quality direction that accelerates engineering and product execution.
• Scalability & Systems Thinking
  • Balance short‑term delivery with long‑term vision for an outstanding product experience fully integrated into customer workflows.

🎯 What you will bring

• You have 3+ years of experience in Product Management at product‑driven, fast‑paced tech startups.
• You have a great product sense, and you use it along with your product management expertise to add value to our users.
• You have experience doing product discovery and don’t need to be convinced of the importance of doing continuous discovery with our users as the core component of our discovery efforts.
• You have a genuine passion for technology and the AI revolution, constantly exploring new tools that can elevate the product and streamline day‑to‑day workflows.
• You see your work as a way of generating value for our users, not as an end.
• Professional proficiency in English is a Must. If in doubt, please refrain from applying. Spanish is a plus.

🏆 Bonus Points

• Experience as a Product Manager for SaaS B2B companies.
• Experience in the corporate innovation industry.

🙏🏼 About you

• You want to join an ambitious, high‑performing team that is building something meaningful and impactful.
• You thrive in a culture of open, candid, and constructive feedback taking place in all directions.
• You leave your ego behind to make sure you accomplish what is best for your team and your company.
• You are looking for an exciting challenge, and compensation is only one of many factors to assess this opportunity (don’t worry, our compensation is competitive!).
• Your words and commitments are very important to you - you are reliable, punctual, and don't drop the ball.
• You embrace balance at work: you know when to go the extra mile, and when to slow down.
• You don't hesitate to take the initiative to solve the problems you identify without needing others to ask you to do so.

⌛️We are committed to you

🚀 Personal & professional growth

• You will be a key part of a lean team that will support your growth, within a safe environment.
• You will have direct exposure to Silicon Valley, which includes some of the best investors and professionals in the world. We proudly count on many of them as our own investors and advisors.
• You will have exposure to some of the most interesting ICPs you can think of (e.g. Heads of Innovation, Heads of Ventures, Heads of Corporate Development).
• You will elevate your skills as we tackle our most impactful challenges: We've achieved more than teams 15x our size in less time — and there's so much more to do and learn.
• You will truly experience exponential growth: We humbly say that 6 months at FounderNest may be equivalent to 2 years at any other company in terms of your growth.

💰 Compensation & Perks

• You will have a full‑time contract (i.e. no freelance work). Unfortunately, we cannot sponsor work visas at this time.
• We will offer you a very competitive salary based on your past experience and future potential. We also want you to have stock options since we want you to grow as the company grows and to celebrate FounderNest’s success at all levels.
• Equipment 💻 : all you need to kill it at work. Just request it and we’ll do our best.
• You will have a flexible schedule ⏳ since we want you to have the freedom to organize your time towards achieving our ambitious goals. That being said, we expect you to exercise common sense and be available when your teammates may need you and during meetings where your attendance is necessary.
• We’d love it if you were based in Madrid so that you can spend time with our team there in a hybrid mode. That being said, we are also open to stellar fully remote candidates based in Spain. In this case, you will still have opportunities to collaborate in person at our offices in Madrid and California. Plus, we regularly organize activities, events, and off‑sites to strengthen our team connections.
• Unlimited vacation policy 🏄🏼♂️, as long as you coordinate with your team and you meet our goals.
• 90/10 policy: each team member can devote 10% of their time (usually a Friday every other week) to innovate and grow professionally 📚.
• Birthday policy 🎂: We’ll celebrate your day, showing appreciation with a gift.

👫 Hiring process

• After you apply, we will review your submission and decide whether we invite you to a quick intro call with one of our Product Heads.
• If there is a fit, we will then invite you to start a swift multi‑step interview process that we promise will be exciting — you will get to meet some of the leaders at the company you will get to work with, and you will get a great flavor of what working at FounderNest looks like 🙂.
