Whether that means building the best, most innovative online shopping experience, or designing an app that will impact the lives of people across the country, we’re up for the challenge. We exist to help Canadians live life well. We’ve created leading eCommerce experiences in the online grocery shopping, beauty, pharmacy, and apparel spaces, and we’re only just getting started.

We are looking for a candidate who is obsessed with delivering the most customer-centric experience, showing proven success in ownership, bias for action, and thinking big. As Product Manager, you will need to exhibit an ability to make the hard, high-judgment trade-offs, and work in a fast-paced, analytical, and experimentation-driven environment to drive scale.

• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including product, operations, technology, design, marketing, research, and customer service, to ensure that we build lean and scalable features with clear intent and at high velocity 
• Own the backlog including daily prioritization, grooming, writing user stories and keeping the development team unblocked and running as fast as possible
• Generate and test sound hypotheses for any new product development and ensure we’re building products with the right return on investment
• Use qualitative and quantitative analysis when making key product decisions
• Participate in collecting feedback from users and translating these findings into product features
