About the role

We are looking for a Senior Digital Product Manager to join our team, working embedded with a world class technology client in Cupertino, CA. This team works on the consumer facing ecommerce experience across web and iOS. This position requires strong project management skills, business sense and technical curiosity.

This is a hybrid role and requires working onsite in Cupertino, CA three days per week (shuttle provided).

Responsibilities

• Partner with designers and engineers to define and deliver new payments integrations and checkout experiences across the client's digital storefront.
• Work with client product and business stakeholders to scope features and drive them from concept through design and development.
• Own the day-to-day mechanics of product delivery, including specifications, acceptance criteria, dependency tracking, status reporting, and quality checks.
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with cross-functional partners across the client's organization.
• Surface risks, tradeoffs, and dependencies early, and keep client stakeholders informed throughout the project lifecycle.
• Validate and verify project deliverables and uphold a high bar for quality.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree.
• 4 to 7 years of product management experience shipping consumer-facing digital products. Ecommerce backgrounds are strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to navigate large, matrixed organizations with multiple competing priorities, and to influence outcomes without direct authority.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and a demonstrated track record of building consensus among cross-functional partners to keep work moving forward.
• Intellectually curious and highly adaptable, with the ability to quickly learn the working norms of new teams and environments.
• Low ego and high emotional intelligence, with the professional maturity to build influence on a new team through contribution rather than credentials. You lead with questions before recommendations.
• Technical curiosity and fluency. You can follow architecture discussions, read API documentation, and engage credibly with engineering partners on technical tradeoffs and estimates.
• Experience working closely with design teams, with a solid understanding of the UX process and how designers work. You value designer input and partner with them effectively throughout the product lifecycle.
• Ability to move fluidly between the big picture and operational details, and to maintain momentum when priorities and deadlines shift.
• Strong written and verbal communication.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience delivering ecommerce checkout, payments, financing, or subscription experiences at scale.
• Experience working embedded inside a client organization or in a consulting or agency capacity.
• Experience navigating large consumer technology organizations with complex stakeholder maps.
