About the Job

Requirements

  • Substantial product management experience with meaningful time in marketplaces, e-commerce, catalog or search products, supply chain, or B2B commerce.
  • Experience managing product managers, or clear readiness to step into people leadership with support.
  • Demonstrated ownership of a business metric, including the ability to describe a number moved, how it was moved, and what could be done differently.
  • Fluency in marketplace economics, including purchasing volume, margin, supply coverage, and cost-to-serve.
  • Strong analytical capability, comfort with data, ability to define instrumentation before launch, and ability to form and test a hypothesis.
  • Experience working closely with operations teams and a realistic understanding of manual work behind an automated-looking experience.
  • Clear written communication and ability to make a case to an executive audience in a page.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward validated action over extended analysis.

Responsibilities

  • Own the buying experience and product decisions that shape marketplace economics.
  • Lead product work across catalog quality, supplier coverage, sourcing intelligence, and fulfillment reliability; partner closely with Marketplace and vendor operations; and measure how Buy product changes contribute to purchasing volume, margin, and cost-to-serve.
  • Establish clear PM ownership across catalog and search, sourcing and fulfillment, and the vendor network, building and developing a team as staffing and delivery capacity permit.
  • Own catalog, search, and product discovery, including helping customers find what they need and guiding them toward better choices.
  • Own sourcing and substitution, presenting alternatives on price, availability, and delivery speed.
  • Own cart construction, order placement, and the pre-purchase journey.
  • Own fulfillment and order tracking, including communication about delays, exceptions, and partial shipments.
  • Shape the experience for multi-location customers who need different views of the same activity.
  • Prioritize catalog coverage and quality gaps based on customer needs.
  • Use product levers such as sourcing, substitution, catalog quality, and fulfillment cost to influence marketplace margin.
  • Work with Marketplace and vendor operations on product and automation changes that reduce supplier onboarding effort and cost per supplier.
  • Improve manual vendor workflows, portal automation, and exception handling, and measure their contribution to lower operating cost with the operational owner; the role does not own the vendor-operations team or its entire budget.
  • Define product strategy and requirements for order transmission, supplier portals, catalog feeds, and EDI connections to vendors in partnership with Engineering and vendor operations.
  • Make product decisions that help orders reach suppliers reliably and at scale.
  • Partner with Engineering to decide which integrations to build, automate, improve, or retire.
  • Evaluate AI-assisted catalog enrichment, cart optimization, sourcing recommendations, substitutions, and reordering where they can measurably improve a Buy outcome.
  • Assess automation investments against margin, coverage, reliability, or cost-to-serve, and meet shared evaluation-quality and action-instrumentation standards with Engineering and Data.
  • Recommend how Buy could be packaged, entitled, and adopted on its own, including customer value, operational requirements, and dependencies to validate before committing to a standalone offer.
  • Partner with the CTO, Revenue, and Finance on packaging and pricing decisions; do not set pricing or promise an independently available module unilaterally.
  • Shape Buy-side product mechanics that could support expansion into Govern and Pay; cross-pillar packaging and expansion strategy belongs to the CTO with commercial partners and the other pillar owners.
  • Use shared market and customer intelligence, competitive action, win/loss evidence, and customer research to build a ranked, sized opportunity backlog for Buy.
  • Lead discovery and validation by confirming the problem, segment, and willingness to pay before committing significant capacity.
  • Build an evidence-backed product roadmap and business-case input for the CTO portfolio process.
  • Present a monthly outcome review defending a scale, improve, or stop decision against committed metrics.
