NxaTel is looking for a Junior Project Manager who will grow into a Product Manager role over time. This role is ideal for a structured curious and driven individual who enjoys coordinating work solving problems and turning ideas into execution.

In the early phase the role is project- and execution-focused. Over time as the individual gains deeper understanding of our products customers and operations the role will evolve into owning and shaping products across the business.

This is a hands-on role with real responsibility and a clear growth path.

4. Product & Customer Exposure

  • Assist in gathering customer feedback and recurring issues from support and operations.

  • Track common requests complaints and improvement opportunities.

  • Support internal teams with product-related information and updates.

Growth Path: Transition to Product Manager

  • Helping define product improvements based on customer feedback and operational insights.

  • Supporting product roadmap planning and prioritisation.

  • Working closely with technical and support leadership to improve product quality and usability.

This growth is performance-based and depends on demonstrated ownership initiative and reliability.
