Job Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in product management with proven success defined by metrics. Experience managing products through the complete lifecycle, from ideation to scaled operation
- Experience with platform, identity, payments, or other infrastructure-class products is a strong plus. Direct experience with identity products (SSO, IdP, account management) is the strongest plus
- Understanding of OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect at the conceptual level, and the ability to engage substantively with technical architecture debates. You don't need to be an engineer, but you do need to know why an architectural choice matters and be able to defend or revise it on evidence
- Strong technical proficiency to engage effectively with engineering teams: API design principles, system integration patterns, ability to evaluate technological architecture trade-offs, and explain them to non-technical stakeholders
- Result-oriented mindset. We measure outcomes, not activity. If you need a perfect spec before you start, this is not the role for you
- Proactive by default. You drive ideas through to outcomes: chasing partner alignment, unblocking decisions, and writing the document yourself when it needs to be written. You do not wait for direction on what to do next
- Comfortable with ambiguity. KIP operates in a space where the right answer is often genuinely unclear and where partner positions, regulatory frameworks, and ecosystem strategy all evolve. You need to be able to make defensible decisions with incomplete information and revise them when better information arrives
- Strong organization and project management skills. Partner integrations, multiple internal stakeholders, and tier-0 operational obligations create real complexity. The role rewards people who structure work clearly and keep many moving parts on track
- Strong leadership skills, ability to create and translate product vision, and drive the team to ensure progress
- Strong stakeholder management at the C-1 level. You need to be able to hold a peer-to-peer conversation, push back constructively, and communicate restraint and analytical judgment rather than enthusiasm
- Understanding the specifics of the telco business is a must. Understanding adjacent verticals (ride-hailing, health, content, retail) is a plus
- 1+ years of people management experience will be a plus
- Good written and verbal communication skills in Ukrainian and English. You will write strategy documents, partner-facing materials, and executive presentations regularly
- Willingness to tackle any challenges on the path to building Ukraine's digital identity layer
Benefits
- Office or remote — it’s up to you
- Remote onboarding
- Performance bonuses for everyone (annual or quarterly — depends on the role)
- We train employees with the opportunity to learn through the company’s library, internal resources, and programs from partners
- Health and life insurance
- Wellbeing program and corporate psychologist
- Reimbursement of expenses for Kyivstar mobile communication
