Product Manager Product Catalog

Transform how millions discover our products

How do you make our customers happy?

By ensuring our on-site product content resonates with and optimally facilitates 13.7 million customers as they find what they’re looking for, while empowering 47,000 partners to sell effectively. Product content isn’t a ‘byproduct,’ but the core of bol’s platform – from titles to descriptions, images, and attributes of everything we sell. As Product Manager of the Product Catalog, you’ll elevate the quality, relevance, and scalability of product content across our ecosystem. You’ll directly impact whether a customer finds that perfect gift, whether they discover a partner’s products, and whether our platform remains their go-to shopping destination. Content powers e-commerce at scale!

What you'll do as Product Manager of Product Catalog

You’ll help build a world-class product catalog that scales across millions of products while maintaining the highest standards for quality and relevance. We’re at a transformative moment, as we’re starting to apply AI to help scale, personalize, and safeguard content quality. How can you simplify content management for partners that range from local heroes to international brands? How can you balance automation with quality control? Create systems that work for both a small local merchant uploading their first product and a global brand managing thousands of SKUs. Success means finding the sweet spot between partner autonomy and platform standards, between AI efficiency and human oversight, and between stability and innovation.

You’ll lead one of two Product Catalog teams within the Assortment, Price & Promotions Area (APPA) of Core I. Your team includes experienced engineers – a mature squad ready to turn ambitious ideas into scalable backend solutions. Your mission centers on the partner-facing side of the catalog, helping resellers, brands, and integrators upload, enrich, and optimize their content. You’ll collaborate closely with the consumer-facing catalog team, internal operations, partner quality, and data science to drive impact across the content chain. Key responsibilities:

• Simplify content uploads: team up with Partner Journey to make assortment onboarding intuitive through smart defaults and AI-assisted enrichment
• Optimize for discoverability: help partners craft titles and descriptions that boost visibility in search engines and on-site navigation
• Shape the product content vision: define and communicate compelling capabilities for partner-facing content management
• Leverage AI smartly: enable intelligent content creation, validation, and personalization while safeguarding quality
• Drive cross-team collaboration: align internal and external stakeholders around content that drives both partner success and the consumer experience
• Measure what matters: define success metrics and prioritize opportunities that simplify content management at scale

Why you can make a difference

You combine a proven talent for strategic product thinking with technical depth and stakeholder finesse. Your experience with platform products enables you to balance diverse needs, including those of partners ranging from individual sellers to enterprise brands. You understand backend systems, data flows, and the complexity of maintaining foundational infrastructures at scale. You thrive in data-intensive environments. You’re not a traditional PO writing Jira tickets – you’re a strategic thinker who can dive deep into technical challenges while keeping sight of the business impact of every decision. Your ability to connect diverse teams around shared goals helps you navigate complex stakeholder landscapes. Most importantly, you’re energized by the challenge of evolving critical systems where stability, quality, and compliance are paramount.

3 reasons why this is (not) for you

• Simplicity seeker You love working with stakeholders but instinctively shy away from complexity, business rules, logic, and – above all – data
• Lab avoider You prefer certainty over experimentation (scary!) and don't feel at ease in fast-moving AI-driven environments
• Feature fanatic Bold new features excite you, but maintaining foundational systems where stability and compliance are key doesn't spark your energy

• Outcomes over output You're driven by impact, know how to measure it, prioritize what matters most, and test relentlessly
• Complexity champion You thrive in complex stakeholder landscapes and excel at aligning diverse teams around shared goals
• Tech-savvy strategist You combine strategic thinking with technical affinity and a nose for scalable backend solutions

Where you'll work

You’ll join the Product Catalog teams at the core of bol’s platform infrastructure, where content meets commerce. As part of a retail tech platform with 2,900 colleagues serving 13.7 million customers and 47,000 partners, you’ll work on systems that process millions of content updates daily. We recently transitioned from an Agile to a product-led approach and are in the process of harnessing AI to revolutionize how content flows through our ecosystem. If there’s a better way to manage product content at scale, we’re building it. Ready to design the content foundation that powers the future of retail?
