About this role in Nigeria
Product management in Nigeria has matured rapidly since 2020, with strong PMs emerging from Paystack, Flutterwave, ALAT, and other fintechs that ran real product programs. The role still varies enormously by company — at SMBs the PM is often a project manager with extra steps; at scale-ups they own discovery, roadmap, and outcomes. The signal that matters in interviews: a written narrative of a decision they made (what they considered, what they rejected, what shipped, what happened) rather than a list of features they shipped.
