Product manager

We are Centaurea - a team of imperfect people with a passion to build good, useful software in search of a Product Manager/Owner with the discipline of a founder and the curiosity of a researcher. Our product is complex, alive, and funded patiently by a profitable company that believes in it. We're looking for an adult, hands-on product person to work directly with the founder: form hypotheses, test them with your own hands, change the product by what the numbers say to drive success through evidence and empathy, not ego.

• form hypotheses, test them with your own hands, change the product by what the numbers say to drive success through evidence and empathy, not ego.
• what to test first, how to test it cheaply, what the numbers actually said, what ships.
• Fifty user calls — you make them.
• Test campaign — you launch it.
• SEO draft — you write it.
• You make progress felt: narrate the wins, show the numbers that moved, keep the product's story alive in the room.
• You are willing to make 1,000 calls to find the truth, but smart enough to automate the process once you see the pattern.

• 2+ years in a decision-making role, building something real for real users with access to feedback (Product Manager, Business Analyst, or Senior UX)
• You've changed a product by its numbers. At least once, data or users proved you wrong — and you changed the thing itself, not the marketing around it. Any scale counts: a feature, a service, your own small business ($10k earned solo is one good example)
• You handle direct feedback without spiraling. Your drive comes from solving problems, not seeking validation. You listen to understand, not to reply.
• You choose which three — and let 197 decent ideas die, including your favorites.
• You view the product not as a set of features, but as a way to heal user pain.
• You lead because you care about the product and the people, not because you want power.
• You treat company resources (time, money, dev effort) as your own. You hate waste.
• Product fundamentals: CustDev, unit economics, funnel/retention analytics — fluent, not just familiar. You know how to calculate whether a feature is worth building.
• Prioritization: RICE, CJM, JTBD — used on real decisions, not just read about.
• Experiment design: you can turn an idea into a cheap, honest test — and read the result without flattering yourself.
• AI as a daily lever: LLMs in your normal workflow — interview synthesis, draft generation, research, hypothesis expansion.
• Будет плюсом: Entrepreneurial Scars: You’ve built something, sold it, or failed at it. You understand the "first dollar" problem; Tech Literacy: You speak the same language as the developers; Evidence-Based: Your default state is "Let's test it," not "I think so."

• 100% official employment and white salary.
• Comfortable offices steps away from the subway in Minsk or Tbilisi.
• We value output over strict hours, but we need you present.
• This is a 100% on-site role (no remote) to foster real connection.
• Competitive wage + Performance Bonuses.
• For those who stay and build with us, we offer a token-based equity program.
• Salary: $1000 - $2,000 USD (Net. Based on skills & maturity. Stable salary + Bonus + Equity)
• As you unlock value and revenue, your compensation grows.
• Beyond tokens, there's a partner track — it's not granted, but rather earned over years of honest and smart work for the company; one person in our history has walked it.
