Role
Who you are
- English speakers welcomed. We’re building an international Product & Tech team based in Paris. French is not required
- Experience. At least 2 years of Product Management experience. We welcome a range of seniority levels; scope and responsibilities will be adapted accordingly. International or startup/scale-up experience is a plus
- Discovery and problem-definition. You excel at the fuzzy front-end: talking to users, synthesizing insights, and framing crisp problems. You know how to narrow scope, make hard trade-offs
- Attention to detail. You have strong product taste and a sharp eye for clear UX, clean logic, and delightful user journeys
- Analytical rigor. Comfortable with data, A/B testing, and ideally SQL — or motivated to learn quickly
- Ownership and accountability. You operate with autonomy and accountability. You’re motivated by outcomes and care deeply about the products you build
What the job involves
- We’re looking for Product Managers at various levels of experience to join our Product & Tech team in Paris, France. Compensation and scope will be aligned with your background
- Upway is the leading platform for buying and selling refurbished e-bikes across Europe and the US. Our mission is to make electric mobility accessible to everyone, offering the largest selection of refurbished e-bikes at the best value
- At Upway, Product & Tech builds with heart for our consumers, our individual and professional sellers, and the teams operating our UpCenters. We create scalable sourcing channels, power efficient refurbishment operations, and deliver an exceptional digital experience for buying, owning, and selling an e-bike
- Products you may work on
- Supply (sourcing e-bikes). Build products for individual e-bike owners selling their bike, and for 5,000+ merchants using our B2B app. The challenge: make Upway the *default* choice for anyone selling an e-bike, from a single rider to a shop moving hundreds of units
- UpCenter Operations (refurbishing bikes). Our proprietary platform powers every step of operations across 7 UpCenters: logistics, repairs, quality control, photography, storage, shipping, and more. We’re scaling fast and investing heavily in automation, workflows, and operator tools
- Commerce & Customer Experience (selling bikes, and beyond). Over 1 million visitors come to our store each month. You’ll work on trust, education, comparison, and guidance tools that make buying a refurbished e-bike intuitive and reliable. Beyond the purchase, you’ll shape the full ownership journey up to resale
- As a Product Manager at Upway, your core responsibility is to understand users deeply, uncover the right problems, and shape meaningful solutions. We use the Shape Up methodology to keep you focused on what actually matters
- You will:
- Become the expert on your users. Through data, interviews, field visits, and hands-on time in our UpCenters and with our partners, you will build unmatched insight into their needs and pain points
- Shape the problems worth solving. Turn messy, ambiguous challenges into clear opportunities. Define what’s worth solving, and what isn’t
- Build delightful product features. Partner with designers and engineers to build the right solutions, unblock decisions, validate assumptions, and ensure building the right thing on time
- Measure and iterate. Track what you ship, understand impact, run experiments, and continuously improve
- Work across countries and products. You'll collaborate with international teams based in 10 countries
Application process
- Initial interview with our recruiter to explore your background and motivations
- In-depth interviews with our Product team to discuss about concrete product challenges we face at Upway

Our take
Upway is a second-hand marketplace for electric bicycles, offering a more affordable alternative to new models. The company purchases e-bikes from both private sellers and e-bike companies, refurbishing them and reselling at a discount, a model that appeals to those looking for quality e-bikes at a lower cost.
The electric bike market in Europe is booming and expected to double in value over the next decade. Upway capitalises on this growth by addressing consumer concerns about the quality of second-hand bikes. Through its refurbishment process, it ensures customers can confidently purchase pre-owned bikes, reducing both costs and environmental impact.
In addition to its expansion into key European markets, Upway has recently formed a strategic partnership with Rad Power Bikes. Through this collaboration, customers of Rad's US retail locations can trade in their old e-bikes for discounts on new models, supporting a circular economy. Paired with its $60 million funding round in 2025, Upway is consolidating its position as a leader in sustainable mobility.
