Wayfair believes everyone deserves a home they love, and that furnishing your home should be a source of fun, not anxiety. Our Product team plays a crucial role in making this vision a reality for millions of people around the world. Partnering with Engineering, Experience Design, Analytics and business leaders across Wayfair, our Product team ensures that we’re building technology that solves important customer problems in elegant, scalable, measurable ways.

We’re entrepreneurial, value oriented decision makers who drive the development of the world-class software products that power Wayfair’s transformation of retail for home. We create the web and app experiences that make Wayfair a delightful place to shop, establish new and innovative services for customers, and build the backbone of Wayfair’s pricing, merchandising, supply chain, and enterprise operations. Whether on desktop, mobile web, or app, or any of our proprietary internal platforms, we leverage data, user-centric design, machine learning, and agile software development techniques to exceed customer expectations and achieve operational excellence, fueling company growth. Our work requires us to move fast and collaborate with some of the best engineers, creatives, data scientists, operators, and analysts to discover, build, and scale world-class software products.

The Operations Services team underpins Wayfair's supply chain -- centralizing support, measurement, and optimization of carrier and supplier performance to fulfill our daily promise to customers. We bolster and advance our supply chain by identifying and managing day-to-day gaps in operational effectiveness; we bring them to light, and build sustainable technology solutions, and uphold Wayfair's commitment to Best-in-Class service for every order. We also enable self-service of core functions, driving growth in partnerships and supply chain processes.

We’re looking for a Principal Product Manager who not only enjoys creating a bold vision, but also executing on their ideas through fruition on a global scale. You will define and execute the product strategy and roadmap for our Operations Services team, building scalable technology to connect supply chain partners with a prompt, reliable, and seamless operations experience.

You are customer and data-obsessed, and love turning quantitative and qualitative findings into insights and strategy to drive product priorities. You have demonstrated success in inspiring and leading a cross-functional team in rapidly delivering value to your customers. You’re one to aim high, calibrate constantly, and know when to double down or fold in pursuit of something even greater.

What You'll Do

  • Develop the vision and roadmaps for Operations Services teams based on your understanding of technology trends, business needs, and user insights
  • Innovate and incubate new ideas to improve partner and agent experiences, with a focus on improving network reliability and time-to-resolution
  • Identify, refine, and meticulously monitor your KPIs to understand the health of your product portfolio, and opportunities for improvement
  • Deeply understand the technology used in your products, the strong and weak points, and become an expert at what is available. Map out the supported workflows and identify opportunities to simplify and centralize similar use cases across teams
  • Manage overall execution and performance of product initiatives. Lead and collaborate with creative, engineering, and analytics teams to plan, execute and manage your roadmap
  • Champion a strong team dynamic, engaging partner teams proactively and collaboratively to co-develop roadmaps across teams.
  • Market your product internally to various departments to ensure all available users know about your product and how they could value from it
  • Test and learn, fail fast, and take the winners to market. Rapidly iterate, gather the needed data, interpret it, and then take action to course correct

What You’ll Need: 

  • You’ve spent 10+ years leading cross-functional scrum teams to remarkable outcomes
  • Your manager or team members have complimented your accountability and organization
  • You are a master at problem breakdown and guiding groups through structured decision making
  • You possess strong written and verbal communication skills, and can explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences
  • You are data-obsessed: you monitor your KPIs and perform ad hoc analysis to figure out what’s next
  • You hold a high bar and grow & develop your team members to meet it, and your team likes you for it
  • Your stakeholders praise your communication and collaboration, even though you say “no” to them
  • You can talk about times you took initiative to achieve goals meaningful to you or your team
