Hello!

Do you have experience as a PM in software companies or technology consulting? Additionally, do you live in the Lisbon metropolitan area or are you planning to move soon?

If yes, Altar could be the right place for you.

As a Lead Product Manager, you will work closely with entrepreneurs as if you were their co-founder. You will bring a lean management perspective to help them prioritize and focus on the right features at any moment. To prioritize, you will act as the orchestrator of the product vision and will need to have a deep understanding of the business.

Then, you will combine that with the User Experience vision, keeping in mind the technological impact of these decisions on demanding web projects.

You won’t be alone working with these cutting-edge technologies. You will be among an experienced, cross-functional team of Altarions, with expertise in a multitude of sectors, from fintech and marketplaces to AI and IoT.
