Full Job Posting
About Meroka
- Meroka acquires physical economy, blue collar, built world businesses and enables them with technology.
- We preserve each company's local name, autonomy, and operator knowledge.
- We've raised ~CAD 25M from Slow Ventures, 8VC, etc. and have acquired our first business.
About The Role
- The product is at its earliest stage; we're looking for an entrepreneur who will obsess over it like their own company.
- High ownership, founding in nature seat. You'll shape what the product becomes.
- You'll spend as much time with field workers and customers as at a whiteboard.
What You'll Do
- Own the product vision and roadmap from a near blank page.
- Obsess over craft and design: make calls on what to build, cut, and what 'good' looks like.
- Get into the field with customers and their crews, and turn on site learning into product.
- Move fast against a deliberate plan, partnering with engineering, operations, and leadership.
- Set the bar for how product gets done here, and build the team beneath you as we grow.
Who You Are
- You've built something of your own — a company, a product, a venture — and think like a founder.
- Real design taste and instinct for the user, paired with structure to bring order to ambiguity.
- Comfortable at every altitude: high level strategy one hour, pixel and workflow level detail the next.
- You'd rather be close to real users in the real world than behind a desk theorizing about them.
Nice to Haves
- Exposure to the physical or built world — construction, trades, field services, logistics.
- A track record taking a product from zero to its first real users.
- Enough design or technical fluency to prototype, or at least speak fluently to those who do.
This Is Not For You If…
- You need a fully scoped backlog before you can move.
- You'd rather perfect a product from behind a desk than get on site.
- 'Product manager' to you means running process, not inventing the thing itself.
- You want the safety of something already built rather than the blank page.
Compensation & Benefits
- Full time, permanent role.
- Competitive salary plus meaningful equity and benefits.
Location
- Hybrid, Montreal.
How To Apply
- Send a short Loom video (preferred), CV, or brief summary of experience.
- Our Chief of Staff, Alexandra Kiekens, will reach out via LinkedIn for a 10 minute introductory call.
