About the Role

As our Product Manager, Loyalty and Checkout, you will own two of the most critical areas of the business: Summit Club+, Backcountry's paid loyalty subscription, and the full lower funnel experience including cart, checkout, order confirmation, wishlist, and post-purchase moments. This role sits at the intersection of growth, customer experience, and monetization — and you will carry meaningful ownership from day one.
 
You will maximize conversion across the lower funnel while evolving Summit Club+ into the best loyalty program in the outdoor industry. Your work will have direct influence on revenue, margin, and customer lifetime value.
 
At six to twelve months, success looks like measurable improvement in funnel conversion rates, growing Summit Club+ membership and retention, and a roadmap your cross-functional partners trust and rally behind.
