To create a world that does more with what we already have by prolonging the lifespan of electronic devices through circularity and repair.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for a passionate and motivated Staff Product Manager to join the Finance Experience squad and enhance Back Market’s financial experiences
- The ideal candidate is hands-on and has acute attention to detail
- This high-impact position offers full autonomy and requires a blend of technical and functional expertise, data proficiency, business acumen and a strong understanding of accounting constraints
- Over 6 years of experience in product management, focusing on finance and data-related challenges, with extra credit for experience in the marketplace sector
- Strong data expertise: ability to gather data from multiple sources and ensure its accuracy and quality by cleaning and processing it in order to extract meaningful insights, with extra credit for experience with BigQuery
- Comprehensive understanding of finance processes and payment processing: eager to address issues related to the payment lifecycle (creation, authorization, capture, settlement) and reconciliation
- Very good written and verbal communication skills: capable of articulating strategies and priorities to senior teams (Head Of, Directors, C-Level) with tactical insights, and providing engineering teams (Engineering Manager, Backend, Staff) with clear and detailed product and technical specifications
- High-reaching drive: operate in a dynamic environment with ambitious priorities, managing the product life cycle from planning and development to launch - get strongly opinionated and able to make decisions with limited information
What the job involves
- The core of the role involves leading the financial systems product area that takes care of the accounting processes for Back Market to align pay-in and payout providers across 18 markets, 6 currencies and various legal entities, while also supporting Back Market for upcoming legal compliance and invoicing automation processes
- Leading and facilitating brainstorming sessions when launching a new product and its monetization strategy - then refining, experimenting and building on these initial ideas to ensure well-defined reconciliation processes that anticipate the company's growth and needs
- Monitoring key performance indicators related to unmatched money, making sure we identify, report and match every transaction between cash and invoicing worlds (ie. between Payment Service Providers and Back Market systems)
- Developing features and capabilities to support the invoicing process: starting from helping other Back Markets teams with proof of concepts and progressing to implementing a large-scale invoicing and reconciliation system that operates without manual intervention from the Finance team
- Helping to ensure that Back Market and its services comply with tax and compliance laws across all markets: from VAT collection in Europe to sales tax distribution in the US, and preparing for new regulations such as electronic invoicing set to be implemented in 2026
- Working closely with cross-functional partners - mostly Finance, Product and Engineering teams - to define ambitious roadmaps, assess technical capabilities, prioritize projects for release and identify new opportunities
- Engaging in the Product Department's activities, helping to establish best practices and workflows while mentoring team members across different functions
Our take
At a time when new smartphones launch frequently but with fewer new features and when individuals want to contribute to sustainability and the circular economy, Back Market is setting out to provide customers with a viable option of purchasing refurbished electronics goods.
The vision of the company is to become the default choice when it comes to electronics purchases, irrespective of the customers' budget. In order to materialise this vision, Back Market guarantees that all the devices sold on its platform are 100% functional. The company screens sellers before allowing them to join its platform and it monitors their performance in real-time by collecting detailed customer feedback. By doing this, it hopes to restore trust in refurbished devices and to make sustainability an easy, safe, and affordable choice.
Back Market operates in 16 counties and has a client roster that includes Netflix, Disney, BBC, Sony, and Apple. The company has also raised over $1 billion in capital, which has been invested in expansion across new and current markets. And with the recommerce market only growing, Back Market has a lot of room for exciting future growth.
