Marketplace & E-commerce Optimisation

• Improve onboarding, merchant tools, transaction flows, and analytics

• Optimise conversion, retention, and platform usability

• Support monetisation features and new marketplace mechanics

About you:

• Strong experience in product management (or equivalent startup experience)

• Proven ability managing engineering and design teams simultaneously

• Experience launching third-party integrations or platform partnerships
