Ecommerce Product Manager
The Hired Guns digital talent agency are seeking seven Product Managers for a top retailer with an enormous online presence. You’ll be a key leader in the evolution of the online shopping experience, with an eye toward innovating.
The Nitty Gritty
The backstory on the organization and why they need to hire you!
At this giant in both e-commerce and brick-and-mortar, there’s really only one digital “product”: the overall e-commerce site. But there are many key facets — account, bag, browse / discovery, homepage, search, security and risk, checkout, and many others — that have to work in concert with one another to achieve key business goals while improving the overall shopping experience. As a Product Manager, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to incorporate industry-leading best practices (along with innovative ideas of your own) for the domain that you’re best suited for.
To accomplish that, you’ll work closely with stakeholders across the organization to develop and then own a roadmap of product innovations. At the same time, you’ll stay abreast of developments from throughout the product management organization and make sure they enhance and do not increase friction in the checkout experience. You’ll develop business cases and pitch them successfully to leadership, look around corners for as-yet unanticipated problems, and effectively envision a user experience in which checkout integrates smoothly with a seamless process flow.
Why You?
