Product Manager - Walulel

We are on the lookout for a street smart, C-Suite hustler with Wall Street acumen. What the market would call a Product Manager. So, if you’re reading this with the intention to give us the honour of making your journey a part of our story, it’s only fair that we be disarmingly honest about the kind of person we want, so let’s set the scene…

About us

We’re Walulel – The Geospatial, Geocivic, Geosocial Company. We piqued commercial interest as an urban data company who gave people the tools to understand the quality of their neighbourhoods. Now we command attention because we craft and perfect digital platform solutions to 21st Century urban problems. We’re a merry band of engineers, auctioneers, coders, cartographers who’ve, since, we set up, spent over 30,000 hours wrestling with servers, algorithms and GIS Systems, all so you don’t have to! We’re proud of us, but now we want to move from good to great!

Culture wise, you’ll be joining a team that is nothing but fun and an institution where your opinion will always count. We work hard, look out for each other and collaborate ruthlessly. We’re a scale-up, so we try to innovate in everything we do and involve staff as much as they desire, in all aspects of our development lifecycle as it is our core belief that where two knowledge bases meet, wisdom occurs…

The compensation

Unlike other companies we work a four-day week (Monday to Thursday), but we pay a full-time salary. Now if that isn’t reason enough to apply, we don't know what is! Pay wise, our primary concern is with getting the best talent to on our team, so whatever you can convince us you’re worth, we'd be happy to pay with all the bells and whistle benefits as you’d expect.
