What you'll own
Product strategy & market direction
- Own a point of view on where the product should go next, grounded in usage data, cohort behavior, and market context — not every roadmap item is equally worth building.
- Track the competitive landscape and the platforms the business depends on — retailers, affiliate networks, Instagram, TikTok — and flag roadmap implications before they become urgent.
Bring evidence to the bigger calls already on the table, such as expanding beyond current affiliate networks, so they get decided deliberately rather than discussed ad hoc.
Roadmap & prioritisation
- Turn the backlog into a maintained, ranked roadmap with clear reasoning and sequencing.
- Decide, epic by epic, what gets built next and why — including the trade-off against tech debt — and defend that call to both the business and engineering.
Requirements & backlog craft
- Translate business requests, however they arrive, into epics and stories with real acceptance criteria.
- Run refinement: prioritize epics, break them into stories, and bring the team specs worth estimating against.
- Close out open product questions rather than letting them sit unanswered.
Data & analytics ownership
- Own and maintain the analytics metrics list.
- Convert behavioral-analytics requirements into an event taxonomy and tracking plan.
- Hold prioritization to the data — check the install-to-active funnel and early retention before committing engineering time to an onboarding redesign.
Stakeholder & delivery partnership
- Agree the sequencing of major technical work with the solution architect and project manager, so the roadmap reflects real dependencies.
- Set release scope and proactively communicate the rationale to the business.
Technical fluency & trade-offs
- Know the systems well enough to engage properly — catalog, retailer and affiliate feeds, product matching, search, attribution, analytics, integrations — so technical decisions get product scrutiny before they're made rather than after.
- Work through scope, estimates and complexity with engineering on larger pieces: whether a simpler route fits BeautyShelf's stage, and what a build-vs-buy choice costs commercially.
- Keep tech debt and dependencies visible in prioritization rather than letting them surface as surprises.
- Translate technical risks and trade-offs into commercial implications so founders can decide without in-house technical expertise.
What we're looking for
- 4+ years as a PM/PO in e-commerce, marketplaces, affiliate, or comparison commerce.
- B2C product experience, ideally mobile.
- Confident with product analytics: funnels, cohorts, retention, event tracking.
- Technical fluency with feeds, product matching, search, attribution, and integrations.
- Experience working with non-technical founders and translating tech trade-offs into business terms.
- Strong English, written and spoken.
