Our Product Operations Team

At Nubank, many things are done from scratch. We understood that to offer the most transparent, fair, and intuitive financial products and services, we had to take apart the building blocks of financial products completely and rebuild them with our customers at the center.

To continue to innovate for our customers we need magical people who can jump from business strategy to program management, to risk assessment, collections regulations and complex cross-team alignment seamlessly!

That's why our Product Operations team was born! A quarter Program Manager, a quarter Business Analyst, a quarter Strategic Advisor, and a quarter… Magic? Product Ops are the ultimate owners of Nubank's operations, ensuring that projects and processes run efficiently.
