About Eleken

We're a small product studio running 3–4 SaaS products simultaneously (CRM platform, design agency platform, and two other tools). The team is lean — small dev squads per product, no dedicated product or QA function today. This is the first process-oriented hire and a high-impact role.

Role Summary
We're looking for someone who enters through QA but grows into product management. Day one, you own quality and process across multiple products. Within 6–12 months, you're effectively a product manager for at least one of them. This is NOT a traditional manual QA role. We need someone who cares about why something is being built, not just whether it works.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and manage Linear boards across multiple products — triage, prioritize, and keep backlogs clean

• Perform manual QA and exploratory testing across web-based SaaS products

• Define and enforce a "definition of done" for each product

• Write clear, reproducible bug reports with context on severity and user impact

• Build lightweight QA processes — checklists, regression flows, release readiness criteria

• Act as the first filter between "reported issue" and "dev priority"

• Participate in product discussions — challenge decisions, flag UX issues, suggest improvements

• Gradually take ownership of product roadmap input, feature specs, and stakeholder communication

Who we are looking for:

• 2–4 years of experience in QA, product ops, or a junior PM role at a software/SaaS company

• Experience with Linear, Jira, or similar project management tools

• Strong written communication in English — bug reports, specs, async updates

• Highly organized with a natural drive to create order from chaos

• Sense of ownership — treats the product as their own, doesn't wait to be told what to test

• Comfort working across multiple products simultaneously without hand-holding

• Interest in growing into a product management career (not a career as a QA tester)

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with SaaS or B2B products

• Familiarity with CRM platforms or design/agency tools

• Basic understanding of APIs — enough to check network requests when debugging

• Experience writing test cases or simple automated checks (Playwright, Cypress — not required but a plus)

• Previous experience in a startup or small team where they wore multiple hats
