Senior Product Manager

Who We Are

The Global Supplier technology team is responsible for building the scalable platforms for the supplier ecosystem in Wayfair. It starts with establishment of supplier entities, their catalog journey, advertisement, pricing & order management. This platform provides all necessary accelerants for supplier business growth like supplier ads, business insights & recommendations. We build scalable platforms to meet the demands of customers and suppliers alike.

The teams you build in the Bengaluru technology center will work across multiple domains that drive speed and convenience for the customer and cost efficiency across the full value chain. Our work requires us to move fast and collaborate with some of the most talented engineers, creatives, product managers, data scientists, operators, and analysts to discover, build, and scale world-class software products.

The initial focus for the site will be to build various supplier platform initiatives cross catalog, pricing and data science to serve our vast marketplace. You will play a pivotal role in building the site including hiring, setting up the culture and establishing right ownership for the teams.

 What You’ll Do:

• Break down complex problems and back up your recommendations with quantitative and qualitative reasoning

• Given a broad and complex product strategy, independently own and craft a sequenced set of outcomes and solutions over a 12+ month time horizon (that benefit customers across our US, UK, DE and Canada sites, in addition to Wayfair’s specialty retail brands)

• Bring technical, design, marketing, and experience product partners along in your vision. Be the advocate for how the platform can enable their business outcomes, while also listening for pain points and gaps to identify new opportunities.

• Build and maintain roadmaps for your product(s); partner with user experience design and usability, analytics, engineering, technical program managers, other product managers, and stakeholders to translate your vision and roadmap into reality  

• Drive measurable results and/or learnings using testing best practices; monitor performance of your focus area 

We Are a Match Because You Have:

• 8+ years experience working in product management. Experience working on platform or design systems is highly valued.

• Curiosity and eagerness to learn. You are comfortable diving into problems and technologies you may not be an expert in, even when working with those who are.

• An ownership mentality. You’ve autonomously set a ~12 month vision for your domain, prioritizing a body of work that optimizes for customer outcomes. You’ve challenged yourself and others to proactively improve your product, its reliability, and plans for its future state. You propose adjustments to priorities as needed, and take responsibility for outcomes, celebrating team wins and surfacing learning moments openly. 

• Bias for collaboration. You assume good intent, partner willingly, and ensure the voices of teammates and stakeholders are heard. You communicate openly and proactively, bringing others into your plans. You coordinate and modify as needed.  

• Ability to connect between the specific and the general. You can detect themes in many different specific stakeholder team goals and abstract to find the commonalities.

• Good judgment. You manage risk, know when to pivot, can assess multiple paths forward, and use data to inform and advocate for the right next steps
