Product Manager - Innovation

Overview

Wayflyer is hiring for product-related roles, with emphasis on exploring early ideas, testing with real customers, and shaping the future of Wayflyer’s product portfolio. This role is suited for someone who wants to grow as a product manager while working on strategic, innovative challenges within a growing company.

Responsibilities

• Explore new customer problems and unmet needs across eCommerce and other markets.
• Work with your product trio to prototype, test, and validate ideas quickly.
• Use AI tools to speed up research, experiment design, and prototyping.
• Partner with commercial teams, data, product and design teams to shape new opportunities.

• Contribute to building repeatable ways of working for innovation inside Wayflyer.
• Run structured discovery: interview customers, gather insights, and frame clear problem statements.
• Use AI-powered tools for customer research, data analysis, and insight generation.
• Design and run experiments (e.g., landing pages, no-code tests, prototypes) to validate assumptions.
• Collaborate closely with design and engineering to bring early-stage ideas to life.
• Track experiment results and share learnings clearly with the team and stakeholders.
• Support shaping early business cases—how a new product could create customer and business impact.
• Contribute to product reviews, idea sessions, and cross-team collaborations that build Wayflyer’s innovation muscle.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 2–4 years of product management (or adjacent) experience, ideally in a fast-paced startup or scale-up.
• Curiosity and creativity: you’re energized by exploring open-ended spaces and turning ambiguity into clarity.
• A bias for action and experimentation: you’d rather test and learn than debate endlessly.
• Strong discovery skills: you know how to talk to customers, dig into pain points, and synthesize insights.
• Comfort working in uncertainty: you enjoy the challenge of figuring things out when there’s no clear path.
• Collaborative mindset: you work well in a cross-functional team and bring people along on the journey.
• An entrepreneurial spark: you think like a founder and are motivated by building something new.
• Interest in using AI: you always try out the latest AI solutions and models and are an early adopter of anything new in this area.
