Who we Are:

Wayfair believes everyone deserves a home they love, and that furnishing your home should be a source of fun, not anxiety.

Partnering with engineering, UX design, analytics, and business partners across Wayfair, our product team ensures that we’re building technology that solves important customer problems in elegant, scalable, measurable ways. 

 

Our Global Supplier Technology organization is responsible for building tools and interfaces that are used by our suppliers to sell on Wayfair. We are looking for a product manager to join our Inventory Replenishment team that focuses on helping suppliers understand and optimize their inventory performance.

  • Lead the vision and execution: Build and maintain roadmaps for your assigned products. Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams like UX/UI designers, analysts, engineers, program managers, other product managers, and stakeholders to translate your vision and roadmap into reality .
  • Solve challenging problems with a data-driven approach: Break down complex problems and use quantitative and qualitative reasoning to support your recommendations. Given specific outcomes (e.g., improve a KPI), independently design and execute strategies to solve problems benefiting our global supplier-base and achieve results within a 6-12 month timeframe.
  • Become an expert in your product area: Monitor performance, drive measurable results through data-driven testing practices, and continuously learn to optimize your focus area.

 

What You'll Need:

  • 4-7 years experience working in product management. Experience in e-commerce and companies with a substantial tech stack is a plus.

  • Strong collaboration. You assume good intent, partner willingly, and ensure the voices of teammates and stakeholders are heard. You communicate openly and proactively, bringing others into your plans. You coordinate and modify as needed.  
  • Good judgment. You manage risk, know when to pivot, can assess multiple paths forward, and use data to inform and advocate for the right next steps
  • Effective communication. Outstanding ability to articulate complex ideas clearly and persuasively across a spectrum of audiences, including technical teams, senior leadership, and non-technical stakeholders.
