Wayfair believes everyone should live in a home they love. Through technology and innovation, Wayfair makes it possible for shoppers to quickly and easily find exactly what they are looking for from a selection of more than 15 million products. 

Merchandising Engineering exists at the heart of Wayfair's e-commerce operations. We are platform and service builders who own product data and tools that support merchandising strategies. The Cross-sell & Recommendations team builds a growing array of cutting-edge, highly scalable services to enable product relationships that enhance shopping experiences for sets, collections, and product recommendations.   

Our mission is to create, store, and distribute product relationship data and enable our partners in Merchandising and Storefront to create the best cross-sell experiences to delight customers. 

What You'll Do:

• Act as the Senior Product Manager for Cross-sell & Recommendations, leading the product strategy and roadmap for all initiatives in this space within Catalog Engineering.
• Envision and guide the creation of new technical capabilities that allow Wayfair’s Storefront and Merchandising teams to capture the most relevant product relationship data from our catalog.
• Lead problem scoping and discovery across multiple functional areas, drive requirements synthesis, and facilitate prioritization to determine how Wayfair should invest in cross-sell initiatives and optimize technical capabilities that drive the highest impact on business outcomes.
• Act with a high degree of autonomy and ownership, creating strong relationships with senior cross-functional leaders (both technical and non-technical), establishing a shared vision for success, and delivering results that create meaningful business impact.
• Be a clear communicator who drives coordination and collaboration within the team, with cross-functional partners, and with upstream/downstream stakeholders.
• Make strategic trade-offs between technical and business needs; find pragmatic solutions that balance technical needs against speed-to-value tasks in an agile environment.
• Collaborate to build consensus and sell change through persuasive data, logic, and delivery of information. Mentor team members in your sprint team and across the department.
• This is a senior individual contributor role.

What You'll Need:

• 6+ years of product management or comparable experience in an agile development environment; exposure to relevant product areas preferred (eCommerce or B2C; SaaS platforms; Enterprise application experience)
• Ability to figure out solutions to hard problems with many constraints, using sound judgement to assess risks, and to lay out your argument and recommendations in a well-structured, data-informed, written format
• Experience successfully driving large, technical, cross-functional product initiatives with significant business impact
• Strong baseline technical knowledge or technical orientation; very comfortable getting into the details, learning and working with engineers to implement new technologies (top-tier programming languages, SQL vs. NoSQL databases, API technologies, event-streaming, etc.)
• Superior analytical skills with hypothesis-driven problem solving and turning data into actionable insights
• Excellent communication skills playing a lead role in cross-functional initiatives; ability to establish strong partnerships with peers and senior leaders, effectively setting expectations, managing conflict, and creating buy-in for recommendations
• Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline (e.g., computer science, mathematics, physics, economics) or equivalent practical experience
