Product Trainee Program

Product Trainee Program - Borås

Build the products behind modern banking.

Are you curious about how digital products are built? Do you enjoy solving problems, understanding how things work, and collaborating with different people to create better customer experiences?

At Avarda, we're looking for some ambitious graduates and/or early-career professionals to join our 18-month Product Trainee Program in Borås.

From your first day, you'll become part of a real product team, working alongside experienced Product Managers, engineers, designers and business specialists. You'll learn-by-doing whilst still contributing to meaningful work, take ownership of real initiatives, and gradually grow into the role of a junior Product Manager with the guidance of an experienced mentor.

Throughout the program you'll build a broad understanding of modern product development in a fintech environment while developing the skills needed to lead products from idea to implementation.

In Borås you can join one of two tracks. Apply and tell us which one fits you best:

Track: Product Lifecycle & Servicing

Every successful product needs to evolve long after launch. In this track, you'll learn how products are operated, improved and maintained throughout their lifecycle.

You'll work with customer servicing, operational processes, regulatory requirements, back-office tooling and system integrations that ensure our products continue to deliver value every day. Together with Product Managers, Operations, Compliance and Engineering, you'll help improve end-to-end customer journeys while gaining a deep understanding of how financial products are managed in production.

This track is a great fit if you:

• Enjoy understanding how processes work and how they can be improved.
• Like structure, documentation and solving operational challenges.
• Are curious about how regulations, customer needs and technology come together.
• Want to understand the "why" behind business processes-not just how they work.

Track: Core Banking & Payments

If you're fascinated by the technology that powers financial services, this track places you at the heart of our banking platform.

You'll learn how payment infrastructure, ledger management and core banking capabilities support every customer interaction. Working closely with engineering teams and externa providers, you'll gain insight into technical product management, complex system dependencies and the critical capabilities that keep modern banking running.

This track is especially suited if you:

• Enjoy solving technical and analytical problems.
• Are interested in financial infrastructure, payment systems or software platforms.
• Appreciate precision, reliability and scalable solutions.
• Want to collaborate closely with engineers while helping shape technical product direction.
