As Product Manager for Activation, you will play a key role in building experiences that remove barriers and help new users experience the value of Lyst as quickly as possible. You will lead discovery into the Activation problem area, identifying and validating new opportunities, and working with a cross functional squad to develop solutions and test hypotheses. As a member of the Product & Design Chapter, you'll partner with engineers, data scientists, data analysts, and designers, and fashion experts to solve impactful problems for our customers. You will also receive mentoring and training to set you up with all the skills needed to grow your product career at Lyst.

What will you be working on?

You will be solving problems with varying technical complexity, ensuring the teams are heading in the right direction strategically while also keeping them on track day to day. In order to do this, you will:

Turn company strategy into team strategy. You will be working with other leaders across the company to determine the right direction for your teams to move in, while collaborating with the team to determine what is possible. You will be the one who combines these two forces to decide the correct goals for the team. Prioritise the work to be done. There are many opportunities we could go after, and many different solutions, but time and resources are limited. You'll need to work with analysts and researchers to help identify the most impactful customer problems we need to solve, and work with designers and engineers in design sprints to craft creative & viable solutions.  Take responsibility for delivery. Once your goals are defined, it is your responsibility to ensure the team delivers on the goals. You will ensure the teams are tackling the correct problems and you will work side by side with them, giving them support and unblocking them when necessary. Liaise with stakeholders. You will be communicating with senior colleagues across the company to keep them apprised of the progress your team is making throughout the year. Strong inter-team communication feeds into the work of coming up with future strategic goals.
