Company mission
To create a new paradigm of the internet – where connection, consumption, creation and commerce can happen all in one place.
Role
Who you are
- An ex-founder, ideally from consumer marketplace/fintech/social/creator economy
- A proven appetite for operating in an early startup environment
- Technical proficiency
- Data proficiency, as well as the ability to operate intuitively
- Excellent communication skills (written and verbal)
What the job involves
- We’re seeking a wildly-smart problem solver, builder and communicator to be our first Product Manager in New York. You’ll be tasked with translating the company’s business and product strategy into rigorously-prioritized initiatives for engineering and design to execute, on a fast, iterative schedule
- At Whop, we focus almost exclusively on the highest priority problems and opportunities in front of us. It will be your job to work out what these are by constantly talking to sellers, support, account management and sales, looking at our data, and then synthesizing what you learn to build a convincing case for what matters most
- To date, Whop has thrived through close, continuous coordination between growth, design and engineering
- To be effective, you’ll need to build rapport and respect across the organization so that the team trusts and follows your judgment
- You’ll need to be technical enough to brief engineers and evaluate any pushback
- You’ll need an inspiring product sense to drive UX decisions that designers will want to bring to life
- You’ll own the seller side of Whop’s marketplace, ensuring sellers (from solopreneurs to enterprise) have what they need to set up and run their online business on Whop
- You’ll need to be permanently dissatisfied with the current state of the product, while fiercely optimistic about its future potential
- You’ll need to be scrappy and expedient in low-conviction situations, and more deliberate and considered in high-conviction ones
- You’ll work closely with Whop’s founders, in particular our Chief Growth Officer, who will push you to move fast, simplify and prioritize
Our take
Navigating disparate marketplaces and leveraging guerrilla-style selling tactics on social media platforms such as Facebook can pose challenges for those aiming to sell communities and digital products. Whop steps in as a marketplace website and platform designed to streamline this process, aiding influencers, communities, and software sellers in reaching millions of eager customers seeking connection, education, and product acquisition.
Focusing on digital economies like online gambling, crypto trading, and gaming, Whop offers a marketplace for buyers with diverse subscription levels to access Discord, chatrooms, and apps. These avenues not only offer income opportunities for buyers but also serve as fertile ground for entrepreneurs seeking to tap into a vast customer base numbering in the millions.
While Whop's niche may not appeal to everyone in the manner of mainstream eCommerce platforms like Etsy, its robust customer base signals a growing trend of entrepreneurs seeking to monetize their online presence. The platform's social features mirror the culture and camaraderie prevalent in blockchain and crypto trading communities, indicating a sustained relevance and growing trajectory - backed by significant funding - in the foreseeable future.
