Carbon promises to play a fundamental role in its customers’ lives wherever they are, with flexible solutions. We pride ourselves on our efficiency and with just $10mm of equity raised in 2015, we have disbursed over $100m in loans and earned more than $30mm in revenue over the last 2 years. Carbon has operations in Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria, supported by a talented team spread between Lagos, Nairobi, London, Argentina, and Palo Alto so we operate with a remote-first mindset. 

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Product Manager

Location: Lagos

About This Role

• You will be our product manager across both sides of the business: Paylater, our mature consumer lending app, and the Carbon SME app, our fastest-growing business line.
• These are two different jobs and you need to enjoy both.
• On Paylater, the work is optimization: reading the analytics, finding where customers drop off, and shipping improvements that move conversion and retention.
• On SME, the work is earlier-stage: figuring out what businesses need next and getting it built. You will work directly with our engineering leads on each app.

Responsibilities

• Own the roadmap for both the consumer (Paylater) and SME apps: prototype, PRD, sprint playback, launch, iterate.
• Live in the analytics. Use tools like PostHog, Firebase, SQL and Google Analytics to analyse funnels, find where customers drop off, and decide what gets built next.
• Set success metrics for every launch, report against them, and kill what isn't working.
• Turn field insight into product decisions by working directly with our BDOs and customers.
• Work with engineering, risk and design to ship fast inside a regulated lending business.

Requirements

• 3-5 years in product management, ideally fintech or digital banking.
• Fluency in product analytics (PostHog, Firebase, Google Analytics, Mixpanel or Amplitude).
• You can build a funnel analysis yourself and tell us what it means for the roadmap.
• SQL and spreadsheet fluency. You pull your own data.
• Experimental with AI. You use AI tools daily in your own work, whether for research, prototyping, analysis or writing, and you have opinions about where AI belongs in a product.
• Show us something you've built or automated with it.
• Evidence of shipping: at least one product you took from idea to live customers.
• Range: comfort optimizing a mature product and building for a newer one
• Tell us about a time you did each.
• Clear written thinking. PRDs people actually read.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with loan products in a regulated environment is a plus.
• We will train the rest.
• What we can't train is curiosity, ownership and the instinct to check the data before forming an opinion.
