Founding Product Owner/Product Manager

Overview

We are seeking a dynamic Product Owner / Product Manager to join Fluck’s founding team, leading product strategy, execution, and early-stage growth initiatives for a mobile-first platform.

This role requires a rare hybrid skillset — someone who understands software development, thinks like a business analyst, acts as a product owner, and collaborates closely with growth, design, and engineering teams.

You will play a central role in shaping what we build, why we build it, and how it grows.

⚠️ This is a founding, equity-based role (unpaid initially). Salary and full-time options will be explored post-funding or revenue milestones.
