Product Manager

About Us

Nova is a new generation payment network, poised to disrupt Visa and Mastercard, by leveraging real time payment infrastructures like Brazil's Pix & Open Finance for all daily transactions.

The company empowers consumers to pay anything, any way they like, in any installment number, regardless of what payment options are available at checkout.

It's building a layer on top of Pix & Open Finance to improve last-mile payment functionalities such as financing (credit and installments), fraud protection (chargebacks and insurance) and friction (tap to pay for consumers, high auth rates for merchants).

Nova was founded at the end of 2023 by an elite team of fintech veterans. It just raised a Series A with leading venture capital funds and is now expanding its team.

Key Responsibilities

• Leading discovery with users, merchants, or partners to deeply understand their needs and the levers that move the business;
