Bored Panda Ventures is an internal venture factory building new AI, SaaS, and content-driven products from scratch. We’re looking for a Product Category Manager / Venture Builder to own and launch new products end-to-end — from discovering real problems to validating, building MVPs, and getting first paying customers. This is not a role focused on maintaining existing products or writing endless roadmaps. This is for someone who wants to build, launch, and own products.

What You Will Do:

• Own a product category / vertical from idea to launch and beyond;
• Research markets, customer needs, competitors, and emerging trends (AI, creator economy, monetization);
• Run product discovery & validation including customer interviews, problem validation and hypothesis testing;
• Build and launch MVPs and validation products, often using AI tools & no-code / low-code solutions;
• Analyze data, run experiments, and make data-driven decisions;
• Take full ownership of P&L for newly launched products;
• Work closely with design, engineering, and marketing teams;
• Continuously iterate based on real user feedback and performance metrics.
  
  

What We Expect:

• Experience building B2B or B2C digital products from ideation to market;
• Strong entrepreneurial mindset and ownership mentality;
• Hands-on experience with product discovery methodologies;
• Solid understanding of product UX fundamentals'
• Strong analytical and data-driven decision-making skills;
• Technical understanding of web products and modern SaaS architectures;
• Strong interest in AI and willingness to use AI tools hands-on in daily work;
• You’re comfortable launching imperfect products fast;
• You prefer doing and testing over over-planning;
• You’re motivated by ownership, impact, and learning;
• Nice to have: hands-on experience with AI, no-code, or low-code tools &/or background in software development or web technologies.
  
  

What We Offer:

• Real ownership over products and outcomes;
• Opportunity to launch multiple products, not just one;
• Fast decision-making and minimal bureaucracy;
• AI-first environment with room to experiment;
• We'll foster your growth: get encouraged to train your extra skills, talents or passion and apply them at work;
• We'll cover your health: private health and accident insurance will be at your service after the first 3 months with us;
• We'll celebrate your success: bonuses for weddings, childbirths, referred friends, and more;
• We'll give you memories: immerse yourself in themed parties, team buildings, and other events.
