About Leverage Edu

At Leverage Edu, we are democratising access to global opportunities for students everywhere. By helping students make the right career choices with the aid of information and pathways that they can trust, we are opening doors to opportunities they could not access without the right guidance and support. Making sense of the complex web of courses, colleges, careers, and geographies is a tough task – by leveraging technology but connecting with students at a personal level, we help them maximise their potential.

To build towards this goal, we are looking for people with the ambition and hustle to make the world a smaller place and get people closer to their dream opportunities. We are building at a breakneck speed in one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, and the opportunities for growth are limitless.

About the Role

Without engineers, nothing gets built. Without salespeople, nothing is sold. Without designers, the product won't appeal to the users. But, who gets all of them on the same page and ensures that the product crosses the finish line? Who drives them to take an idea from start to finish - that onus lies on the shoulders of Product Managers.

Product managers are problem solvers, and product management is fundamentally about thinking on your feet, staying one step ahead of your competitors, knowing what to build and what not to build, understanding what consumers need, and being able to assist the marketing and sales teams in better targeting them.

In short, it's like having more than one job, because it combines elements of other specialties like research, engineering, design, marketing, sales, and above all people management.

In one line, if you are a comic-book fan- we are looking for accountability of - Captain America-, environmental awareness similar to - spidey senses-, and the attitude of - The Dark Knight- !
