Product Manager

Product Manager to Alva Labs
Back in the day, if your father was a blacksmith, you would grow up to be a blacksmith. If you wanted to do something different, that was pretty much impossible. But all of that has changed now, right? You can be anything you want to be!

Well, it depends. Looking at research the recruitment scene is dark. If you are a woman, you need to send in 30% more applications than men. If you are a person of color, that number goes up to 50%. If you have a foreign-sounding name, you are 60% less likely to get a call back to an interview (regardless of the level of experience). If you are too old, or too young, you will struggle to get a job. If your BMI is higher, it will be harder too. So unless you are a white, middle-aged, male with the right-sounding name, things haven’t changed much since medieval times. You will still inherit your profession…

It doesn’t have to be like this! There is a way to change all of this. Through a combination of science, machine learning, and a stellar user experience, Alva Labs is taking recruitment into the 21st century. Come join us change the future of hiring!



Alva who?
Alva is a SaaS tool used for candidate assessment in recruitment. We offer state-of-the-art psychometric tests (personality and logic assessments), in an easy-to-use and modern platform. We help customers such as Northvolt, SEB, Sinch, Hedvig, Tele2, Scania and Zound industries build their teams in a data-driven and scientifically proven way. Check us out HERE.

The role
We are looking for a Product Manager, to be responsible for our key product surface. Our assessment experience. It will be your job, in close collaboration with engineers, designers, analytics, and our Head of Product, to nail the future of our platform. We are looking for a mini CEO to run this part of the product development, and create something fantastic. You will make good use of your customer obsession as well as candidate obsession. You might not be it yet, but in time, you will be an expert in this field, truly understanding what the customer and candidate want and need.

There isn’t going to be a lot of red tape, we rather expect you to come in and tell us how to run things and what to do. We trust you to take the long-term perspective, set a vision, and think long and hard about where to focus rather than writing individual tickets in Jira.

You
We aren’t exactly focused on your background, it isn’t really in our DNA to scan resumes. Much more important, we look for the right person.

You will likely be a fit for us if:

- Your heart beats for problem-solving and everything analytical

- You have a track record of building strategy and winning long-term bets

- You have a couple of years as a PM in a fast-growing company

- Ideally, you have worked with consumer software, with a high number of users



English is our internal language, so no need to speak Swedish. And hey, if you aren’t ticking all the above-mentioned boxes, apply anyway. You might still be the one (wink-wink)!

Why join Alva?
The problem we are solving is not just engaging and interesting (the combination of psychological science and statistics, with a large chunk of candidate experience obsession, what’s not to love?!), but it is also something that has a tremendous impact on both people and businesses. You will have the opportunity to make a real difference.

With 270+ customers, strong YoY growth, a CSAT of 85, and 200 000+ assessed candidates, there is a lot of greatness to build from. We are now entering an exciting phase of our company journey, where Product Lead Growth, together with internationalization, is our main focus. In the role as PM, you will be a cornerstone in making that a success.

One of our strongest assets is our team. We aren’t perfect in any way, but we do know our way around recruitment. You will get the chance to work with a truly outstanding team, representing 15+ different nationalities and a vast diversity of professional backgrounds.

You will get 7 weeks of vacation, stock options, an on-market salary, a generous preventive care benefit, and a few other neat perks.
