We don't have a specific role open right now, but we're always looking for exceptional product minds. If you're the kind of person who defines "done" by customer outcomes rather than shipped features, we want to hear from you before a role goes live.
Black Nova backs early-stage Australian B2B tech startups typically at the point where raw product–market fit is being stress-tested and founders need someone who can translate commercial pressure into a focused roadmap. Our portfolio companies are building in verticals like workforce tech, infrastructure, compliance, and enterprise software. They're resource-constrained, fast-moving, and unforgiving of bloated process.
You've owned a product at a B2B startup from early chaos through to repeatable growth
You can run discovery, write a PRD and push a sprint, without a team of ten around you
You've sat in customer calls and come away with sharper conviction, not more confusion
You treat "no" to a feature as a win if it protects focus
You've worked in or around a funded startup, you know how investor cycles affect roadmap priorities
Operator experience across more than one early-stage company
Comfortable being the only PM in the building for a period
Track record of impactful features as well as shipping them
Experience working directly with a founding team
Domain depth in a vertical our portfolio plays in
If you're at your best inside a large product org with dedicated research, design, and data teams, this probably isn't the right environment. Our portfolio companies need PMs who create structure, not those who require it.
