Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of product management experience (years of experience requirements scale with level, see below), with demonstrated ability to own complex, cross-functional products end to end
- Strategic clarity with hands-on execution. You can zoom out and develop a defensible multi-year point of view, then zoom back in to write crisp requirements, drive execution, and unblock your team
- High learning velocity and analytical rigor. You define the metrics that matter, size the opportunity before you commit to it, and use data to drive decisions
- Customer empathy and strong design sense. You deeply understand how retailers and brands run their businesses and what makes them trust a platform like ours. You are skilled at designing thoughtful and delightful experiences that solve customer needs
- Structured problem solving. You break ambiguous problems into clear hypotheses, don't mistake activity for progress, and diagnose root causes rather than escalate
- Cross-functional influence across Design, Engineering, Data Science, Strategy & Analytics, and Go to Market, and a track record of aligning diverse stakeholders while maintaining momentum
- Proven ability to influence at the executive level and to communicate complex topics with clarity and conviction across audiences
- AI fluency. You use AI tools to accelerate problem solving, solution definition, and analysis; you are comfortable getting hands on building prototypes and using AI to accelerate decision-making
- Marketplace experience is a strong plus — particularly familiarity with two-sided dynamics and competing customer objectives
What the job involves
- We're looking for Product Managers to sit at the nexus of design, engineering, data science, strategy and go-to-market, partnering closely across those functions and with founders and senior leadership to shape decisions that move Faire forward
- You’ll own a significant area of the roadmap, deeply understand the customers you build for, and execute with an eye toward impact
- We hire role agnostic, first assessing your fit for Faire through the interview process and then matching you to the role, team and problem space where you’ll have the greatest impact, based on your experience, skills and interest
- You’ll be aligned to one of these pillars:
- Retailer Growth focuses on making Faire’s retailers more successful by acquiring, activating, and retaining more retailers, ultimately driving demand and deeper engagement with the marketplace.
- Brand drives Faire’s supply side — acquiring new brands, building tooling to help them run their businesses, partnering with them to maximize their growth and success on Faire, and ensuring quality of the marketplace
- Discovery focuses on the core shopping experience — helping retailers find the right products and brands through search, recommendations, ads, and exploration while balancing marketplace dynamics
- Value makes Faire the best place for independent retailers to buy , building programs that take cost and friction out of sourcing inventory: membership discounts, flexible financing, a fulfillment network enabling lower minimums and faster and cheaper shipping, and simpler inventory workflows behind every order
- Ads helps brands succeed on Faire by putting them in control of their growth through paid placement. The team builds effective advertising products that accelerate brands’ wholesale growth while connecting retailers with relevant products.
- Own strategy and roadmap for your product area. Set the multi-year direction for how current and future products evolve and build the prioritized roadmap to get there
- Own specific goals and outcomes. You will be responsible for specific product outcomes and goals all designed to drive meaningful growth for the marketplace
- Own the unit economics for your product. Know the levers that drive your product's growth and margin
- Partner deeply across Design, Data Science, Strategy & Analytics, Go-To-Market, Operations and Engineering. Earn trust across functions, lead without authority, and keep complex, multi-stakeholder work moving without losing momentum
- Communicate clearly at every altitude. Translate complex, technical topics for a wide range of audiences, from engineering partners to senior leadership
Application process
- We hire generalist PMs across the following levels. Your final level and team will be determined through the interview process based on your experience and our current openings
- Senior Product Manager - 4+ years of product management experience
- Staff Product Manager - 7+ years of product management experience
- Principal Product Manager - 10+ years of product management experience
Our take
Faire is helping retailers find and buy wholesale merchandise for their stores, pairing independent brands with retailers. The company connects over 500,000 retailers globally to hundreds of thousands of brands across the globe.
In addition to a large catalog, the company attracts smaller retailers by offering net 60-day terms and free returns to boost confident buying at unpredictable times. Faire has seen impressive growth, reporting 300% year-on-year volume growth and a valuation of over $12.6B following its most recent tranche of funding from Shopify.
This investment is funding its continuing expansion into European and Australian markets, while accelerating product development, focusing on its OS for wholesale. It is also hiring talent globally as it takes aim at becoming a kind of Amazon for local and indie brands that want to sell globally.
