How do you make our customers happy?

By granting 13.7 million customers easy access to product information that meets the highest quality and compliance standards. As the Product Manager of Supplier Catalog Management, you’ll shape the technology and processes behind our supplier catalog and elevate our product data capabilities. With millions of products from 1,000+ suppliers fueling our retail operation, you ensure every item – from wash cloths to washing machines – includes trustworthy information.

The biggest challenge

Help us build smarter product data systems in a fast-changing world. Regulations are popping up everywhere, and we need solid data processes that can keep up—without slowing us down. New products arrive daily, so our systems need to be both strong and flexible. But the real challenge? Getting over 1,000 suppliers on board—many of whom are used to doing things their own way. We’re not here to play compliance cop. Instead, we want to make following the rules feel like a step forward, not a burden. That’s where you come in: combining smart tech with a people-first approach to make change feel natural.

You’ll also help over 1,000 suppliers get on board with new ways of working. Starting with their customer feedback, you create smart strategies, make adoption easy, and show the value of change. It takes persistence and people skills—because you’re not just building products, you’re building trust. You key responsibilities:

Why you can make a difference

You combine 3+ years of product management experience (ideally in e-commerce or retail tech) with a keen eye for data quality and compliance.

As a strategic thinker who embraces hands-on problem solving, you thrive in cross-functional settings where collaboration matters as much as delivery. You excel at translating complex technical concepts into compelling narratives that unite stakeholders – from engineers to suppliers.
