  • Translate discovery findings into a product vision, measurable objectives, and an agreed scope baseline.
  • Support decision-making around change requests, scope variations, and timeline impacts, balancing commercial, technical, and client needs.
  • Build and maintain a structured product backlog — defining epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria with clarity and priority.
  • Facilitate trade-off discussions with client and internal teams, ensuring alignment with scope and outcomes.
  • Own the roadmap and prioritization process for migrations, new builds, and optimization projects.
  • Work closely with Delivery Managers, Technical Architects, and Engineers to ensure delivery aligns with defined goals.

  • Review delivered functionality with clients, recommending iterative improvements while maintaining scope discipline.

  • Mentor peers in product-led, scope-driven thinking across teams.
  • Contribute to agency thought leadership, developing case studies and best practices for enterprise commerce.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in Product Management or similar roles (Business Analyst, Product Owner), ideally within a brand, agency, or consultancy environment.
  • Proven track record of delivering large-scale digital commerce projects, including platform migrations from legacy systems like SFCC, Magento, or Hybris to modern SaaS ecosystems.
  • Deeply familiar with Shopify Plus and the broader commerce technology stack — from ERP and OMS to PIM, CRM, CDP, and payments.
  • Thrive in enterprise stakeholder environments, collaborating confidently with C-suite, product, and engineering teams.
  • Fluent in agile delivery practices (Scrum, SAFe) and discovery frameworks, with a structured yet flexible mindset.
  • Exceptional communicator and facilitator who can bring clarity, alignment, and focus to complex, multi-stakeholder projects.
  • Combine technical literacy (APIs, integrations, architecture fundamentals) with strong commercial acumen, always focused on ROI and client value.
  • Analytical and detail-oriented, comfortable defining and tracking KPIs that measure success and impact.
  • Adaptable and thrive in ambiguity — driving clarity, protecting scope, and helping teams deliver meaningful results.
