Role
Who you are
- You bring 5 to 8 years of Product Management experience, ideally focused on internal platforms in operational or logistics-heavy environments
- You genuinely enjoy working with frontline users – mechanics, warehouse staff, operations managers – and have a deep sense of ownership of their problems. You’re energized by being on the ground, observing how things really work
- You have a process-oriented mindset. You can dissect complex workflows, map out edge cases, and identify improvements others miss
- You thrive in ambiguous environments. You’re independent, resourceful, and motivated to figure things out – even when there’s no playbook
- You’re data-driven and rigorous. You work with clear hypotheses, run analyses to validate decisions, and define what success looks like. You know your way around SQL
- You’re structured, humble, and collaborative. You make complex things simple, bring people along the journey, and keep users at the center
What the job involves
- As we scale fast and plan to open new UpCenters soon, we’re looking for a Product Manager who will lead the charge in evolving these tools to be smarter, faster, and more intuitive, so our frontline teams can do their best work, every day
- Own the product vision and roadmap for our internal operations platform. You’ll define the long-term strategy that helps Upway scale its operations efficiently while maintaining top-tier quality
- Go deep into the field to lead discovery. You’ll spend time in our UpCenters, observing, listening, and collaborating with our operators, mechanics, and logistics staff. Your empathy for these frontline users will drive everything you build
- Deliver tools people love to use. With Engineering and Design, you’ll ship robust, user-centric tools that make our operations run smoothly and confidently at scale
- Measure and iterate. You’ll define success metrics, track adoption, gather user feedback, and continuously improve our internal platform

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.
