ABOUT TRADEBYTE

At Tradebyte, we work with the biggest players in e-commerce - from trendsetting fashion brands to major online retailers. Our goal is to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered.

We offer flexible work schedules, professional development opportunities, and a real commitment to work-life balance. We embrace diverse perspectives and ensure that every voice is heard and respected, because you’re unique and that matters to us.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for new colleagues who share our passion. Love what you do - do what you love. Join Tradebyte, an independent company within the Zalando Group!

THE ROLE AND THE TEAM

As our Senior Product Manager Ecosystem, you are the architect of our newest frontier.

Tradebyte’s core product connects brands to marketplaces. Your mission? To build the layer on top of that. You will lead the development of our Developer Platform, empowering partners to build, launch, and scale their own applications within our core product.

You’ll work in a high-performing cross-functional squad (you + Engineering Manager + Software Engineers) and collaborate with other cross-functional teams, designers, business stakeholders, partners, brands, and marketplaces.

WHAT WE’D LOVE YOU TO DO (AND LOVE DOING) 

• Architect the Roadmap: Own the end-to-end value delivery of the Ecosystem. You’ll translate high-level vision into a refined, high-impact roadmap and drive its execution.

• Master the Domain: Become the go-to expert on our developer landscape, competitor moves, and market trends. You arent just following the market, youre anticipating it.

• Strategic Prioritization: Balance customer value with long-term system reliability. You’ll use a product-led growth mindset to say no to the good ideas so you can say yes to the great ones, firmly explaining the why in a language that stakeholders understand and respect.

• Data-Driven Iteration: Define the metrics that matter. You’ll proactively gather data from various qualitative and quantitative sources, critically analyze them, and iterate the product based on reliable insights.

• Evangelize the Ecosystem: Communicate your vision in the language of your stakeholders—whether that’s a deep technical dive with engineers or a value-prop pitch to business leaders.

• Operational Excellence: Optimize the way the team works. From high-quality ticket grooming to leveraging AI for process optimization, you’ll ensure the engine runs smoothly.
   

WE’D LOVE TO MEET YOU IF

THE BASICS

• Academic: Excellent degree in an analytical field or a similar qualification.

• Experience: 5+ years professional experience, specifically driving outcomes in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.

• Language: Excellent written and oral communication skills in English (German is a plus).

THE TECHNICAL EDGE

• User-Focused: You have a strong grasp of UX/UI basics and can whip up a low-fidelity wireframe to communicate an idea quickly.

• High Empathy: You care about your team’s health and ways of working just as much as you care about the product’s KPIs.
