THE ROLE & THE TEAM
We are the invisible engine powering the global Fashion & Lifestyle e‑commerce ecosystem. As a market‑leading SaaS middleware, we connect the world’s most exciting brands with the biggest marketplaces (Zalando, Amazon, AboutYou, and beyond). We have mastered connectivity and are now mastering intelligence.
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager – AI Strategy to act as a strategic partner to our CTO. This is not an entry‑level role; it is a high‑leverage position for a product leader who can decipher the noise of the AI revolution and pinpoint exactly where it drives revenue, efficiency, and competitive advantage for our platform.
WE’D LOVE TO MEET YOU IF
* Strategic Intelligence & Trend Evaluation
* The Radar: actively monitor the evolving landscape of generative AI, LLMs, and machine learning, and conduct rapid PoCs to test viability.
* Buy vs. Build: conduct rigorous analysis on whether to train our own models, fine‑tune existing ones, or integrate third‑party APIs, owning the decision‑making framework regarding cost, latency, and data privacy.
* Revolutionizing the Core Value Proposition
* Automated Mapping: develop AI agents that automatically map complex fashion taxonomies with near‑human accuracy.
* Content Enrichment: build features that allow our customers to generate SEO‑optimized product descriptions and translate content instantly, accelerating customer speed‑to‑market.

* Execution, Delivery & Adoption
* Cross‑Functional Orchestration: work closely with data scientists and backend engineers, translating business requirements into technical specs for model training and inference.
* Go‑to‑Market: ship value, not just code. Work with growth and marketing to package AI features, define pricing strategies, and ensure customer adoption.
* Performance & Optimization
* The Feedback Loop: implement RLHF workflows where internal teams and customers help models improve over time.
* Metric Obsession: monitor unit economics of AI and ensure the cost of running models does not erode margins, optimizing for token usage and processing efficiency.
This is a senior role for an experienced Product Manager with a track record of shipping complex, technical products. We need someone who has “seen the movie before” when it comes to shipping complex software products.
Qualifications & Experience
* Senior Product DNA: 5–8+ years of product management experience, proven track record of managing technical products from conception to sunset.
* AI/ML Fluency: hands‑on experience shipping AI‑driven products, understanding the difference between predictive and generative AI, and knowledge of risks such as hallucinations and bias and how to mitigate them.
* Strategic Gravitas: comfortable presenting to board and C‑level, articulate a 12‑month strategic roadmap, and defend it with data, market research, and financial projections.
* Commercial Mindset: focus on ROI, building features that reduce operational costs or create clear new revenue streams.
* Complexity Wrangler: thrive in messy data (fashion/lifestyle), love the challenge of bringing order to it.
* Leadership without Authority: act as a mentor to junior PMs and a thought leader within the organization, elevating the team’s understanding of AI.
Why Joining Us?
