Role
Who you are
- Marketplace Instinct: 3+ years of PM experience, with a strong preference for e-commerce or complex two-sided marketplaces
- Strategic Execution: A proven track record of managing technical roadmaps and delivering measurable ROI
- Master Storyteller: Exceptional communication skills. You can translate complex technical constraints into compelling narratives for any audience
- Analytical Rigor: Proficiency in SQL and data visualization. You don't just report data - you use it to make informed trade-offs and find the "why" behind the numbers
- Collaborative Leadership: A natural ability to lead by influence, breaking down silos and driving decisive action in ambiguous environments
- Problem Solver: You thrive on deconstructing complex issues and identifying creative, scalable solutions
What the job involves
- As the Product Manager for the Buyer Experience, you will own the critical touchpoints that define how users interact and transact on our marketplace
- You aren’t just managing features; you are the architect of the Trade, Private Client and Message Center ecosystems, driving scalable growth by bridging the gap between buyer intent and successful conversion
- You’ll lead a high-velocity, cross-functional squad of engineers, designers, and analysts to transform complex buyer pain points into elegant, high-performance product solutions
- This role offers high visibility to senior leadership and the autonomy to significantly influence our global product strategy
- Own the Vision: Define and execute the multi-quarter strategy and roadmap for Onboarding flows, Message Center and our Trade and Private Client Program, ensuring they align with overarching business goals
- Full-Lifecycle Delivery: Lead product development from raw concept and rapid experimentation to full-scale global launches
- Data-Driven Discovery: Synthesize user research, competitive market analysis, and deep-funnel analytics to uncover "hidden" opportunities for innovation
- Bridge the Gap: Act as the connective tissue between design, engineering, and marketing to build, iterate, and polish key buyer-facing features
- Drive Engagement: Partner with stakeholders to optimize the communication loop between buyers and sellers, specifically aimed at increasing Trade program velocity
- Evangelize the Roadmap: Communicate product wins and strategic pivots to senior leadership, setting clear expectations and building organizational consensus
- Obsess over the Buyer: Become the voice of the user by analyzing on-site behaviors and conducting direct interviews to solve friction in the marketplace journey
Our take
1stDibs is an eCommerce platform that caters to luxury, high-end, and antique goods, bringing together dealers, makers, and buyers in one online space. By focusing on rare and collectible items, 1stDibs has carved out a niche that sets it apart. With this approach, the platform aims to bridge the traditional barriers of geography and time that typically hinder the luxury goods and collectors market.
Founded in 2001, 1stDibs has cultivated a highly curated environment for its customers. While the platform only has tens of thousands of active users, these users are highly engaged and willing to invest significantly in quality items. In 2020, for example, the average 1stDibs user spent over $%,500, with each order averaging more than $2,500 - proving the site's appeal to serious buyers and collectors looking for rare treasures.
With this success, the company is expanding beyond its online roots, with exciting ventures into offline experiences. A major milestone in this shift is the partnership with The Agency, marking the beginning of a broader strategy to combine digital and physical touchpoints. As the company continues to grow, it will be interesting to see how it bridges its online success with the offline experience.
