Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or equivalent combination of education and experience
- 3+ years experience working in product management. Experience in ecommerce, and at companies that own a significant tech stack highly valued
- An ownership mentality. You’ve autonomously set a ~12 month vision for your domain, prioritizing a body of work that optimizes for customer outcomes. You’ve challenged yourself and others to proactively improve your product, its reliability, and plans for its future state. You propose adjustments to priorities as needed, and take responsibility for outcomes, celebrating team wins and surfacing learning moments openly
- Good judgment. You manage risk, know when to pivot, can assess multiple paths forward, and use data to inform and advocate for the right next steps
- Proven results. You have experience moving the needle on KPIs. You’ve unlocked customer value through strong product discovery and technical delivery. You’ve partnered to get it done, and you have a proven track record of sustaining and maintaining a high bar for your product space, even post launch
- Experience building creative yet scalable solutions. You know how to balance short term learnings with long term solutioning. Everything you build is a series of tradeoffs, and your experience to date has helped you fine tune balancing those tradeoffs given a set of constraints
- Team leadership. You autonomously manage teams, have influenced cross-functional stakeholders, and know how to navigate multi-domain technical complexity. You drive a culture of learning, radical candor, process creation/adoption within you team(s) and your broader Pod / SuperPod
What the job involves
- We are seeking an innovative, entrepreneurial and technical product leader to join the Growth Customer Experience product team
- This role is pivotal in shaping how we differentiate Wayfair with inspiration-first discovery experiences, engaging customers visiting from various marketing journeys and creating helpful home project-oriented experiences
- You will have the opportunity to leverage cutting-edge AI and personalization technologies to craft a best-in-class user experience, guiding customers on a seamless journey from the moment they land on our site
- This role requires a candidate with a comprehensive understanding of complex, cross-functional systems across multiple domains and a passion for creating data-driven, personalized experiences
- You will not only oversee the implementation of the product roadmap, but define the long-term strategy for how we introduce customers to our site, ensuring a unique and tailored experience for every individual
- Use data to understand customer needs and behaviors; map those against business objectives, and transform that knowledge into AI-powered product enhancements
- Build client agnostic backends that solve for the needs of customers across all of our platforms: iOS and Android apps, mobile web and desktop applications
- Given a broad and complex product strategy, independently own and craft a sequenced set of outcomes and solutions over a 12+ month time horizon
- Build and maintain roadmaps for your product(s); partner with user experience design and usability, analytics, engineering, technical program managers, other product managers, and stakeholders to translate your vision and roadmap into reality
- Drive measurable results and/or learnings using testing best practices; monitor performance of your focus area
Our take
Wayfair emerged in the early era of eCommerce with a mission to revolutionize online shopping, offering customers a convenient platform to purchase goods. Today, it stands as one of the foremost global players in the online furniture delivery industry, boasting an impressive inventory of over 33 million products.
Renowned for its extensive product range and comprehensive service offerings, Wayfair distinguishes itself by providing an end-to-end customer experience, from browsing to doorstep delivery. Despite its prominence, the company faces profitability challenges attributed largely to expansion expenses. Nonetheless, its solid presence in the competitive online homeware sector solidifies its position as a key contender.
With ambitious global expansion plans, Wayfair remains committed to maintaining its leadership in the industry. As it aspires to become the ultimate destination for all home needs, its more recent ventures into physical retail represent significant strides toward this overarching goal.
