Senior Product Manager, Email marketing applications

If you ever received a Wayfair email about an upcoming sale or a text message that your order was delivered, our notifications platform did all the work behind the scenes, processing 100+ million daily messages to customers and suppliers around the world.

The senior PM will own the roadmap and execution for components of our custom in-house platforms, which ensure that Wayfair marketers and service leaders can send highly customized messages at Internet scale to drive sales and customer engagement. How do we make our customer conversations even better, while baking in more resiliency and ease of use? That will be part of your job.

A successful candidate will have experience building consumer marketing engagement products across email and other channels such as SMS, push notifications, WhatsApp, and emerging messaging platforms.

This product position requires enough technical fluency in the underlying technologies to credibly engage developers and data scientists in conversations around architecture and delivery. The PM also should be a product athlete, fluent in Agile and leading frameworks, with a long history of successfully designing and launching B2B products.

This position is currently 100% remote through mid to late 2021. After that time, it will be based in Boston, long term, relocation is required.
