Job description

Shoparize is an international performance-commerce company based in Amsterdam. We use technology to give shoppers a better experience and help merchants and partners grow their online performance. Our products operate across European markets and connect product, commercial and operational data in a complex, fast-moving environment.

We are a compact organization with direct communication and real ownership. Product and Technology work as one department: Product sets direction and intended outcomes; Engineering shapes sustainable solutions and brings them to production.

Why Shoparize

You will shape both Shoparize’s product direction and how Product works within the company. The role has direct access to senior leadership, a capable Product Manager to develop, and an experienced Engineering team ready to engage early in discovery. You will have meaningful influence without the layers and hand-offs of a large organization.

We offer:

• A competitive salary.
• A flexible hybrid-working policy and an Amsterdam office.
• 25 days of annual leave.
• A company laptop and full reimbursement of travel costs.
• ClassPass membership, lunch and healthy office snacks.
• Support for professional development.
• Team events and offsites with an international group of colleagues.

Description

Your responsibilities

• Own and communicate the product vision and strategy.
• Turn agreed company priorities into evidence-based roadmap proposals and a clearly ordered product backlog.
• Build a continuous understanding of merchants, partners and shoppers through research, product data and commercial insight.
• Establish practical discovery and validation methods so that important assumptions are tested before substantial delivery investment.
• Define product outcomes and measures, then use them to evaluate impact and adjust direction.
• Partner with the Head of Engineering on feasibility, sequencing and trade-offs while protecting the intended customer and business outcome.
• Advise the CTO, CEO and COO on product choices and align Sales, Marketing, Operations and Technology around explicit priorities.

What Success Looks Like

Within the first year, Shoparize has a product strategy that connects company goals to a small number of clear choices. Roadmap decisions use customer and commercial evidence. Discovery and product measurement are part of normal product work. The Product Manager has grown in scope and capability, and stakeholders understand both the priorities and the reasoning behind them.
