Product manager for wholesale commerce

Qogita is a fast-growing European startup building the operating system for modern wholesale. Founded in early 2021, we now operate globally.

• Own the strategy, the specs and the outcome for your area, and be the person accountable when the metric doesn't move
• Work from what's economically and physically true: units, margins, lead times, cash cycles, failure rates. "That's how marketplaces do it" isn't an argument here. A lot of industry convention is old error nobody went back and re-examined
• Try to delete the thing before you build it. Every screen, field and integration is something a person maintains for years. Removing ten workflows is usually worth more than shipping an eleventh
• Question whether a process should exist before you automate it, otherwise you get the same waste faster and buried in code
• Do your own analysis. The warehouse is open and you won't be queuing behind an analyst to find out whether your idea worked
• Bring the number, the sample size and the reason you might be wrong. Changing your mind publicly when the data turns against you counts in your favour here
• Go and look at the actual thing: sit with ops, listen to supplier calls, read the orders that failed. Judgement built only from dashboards decays quickly
• Work directly with engineers, designers, data scientists and the commercial teams, in the room, at pace. We ship weekly and make reversible decisions in hours

• 5+ years in product
• You've shipped things that moved a number you can name at a scale you can defend, and you can explain why it worked rather than telling the version of the story where it obviously would
• You're properly numerate and comfortable in SQL. You can put a rough figure on an outcome before you build it, and you're usually within an order of magnitude
• You understand systems and data models well enough that engineers take you seriously in your first week. You don't need to be an engineer
• You'll argue hard in the room and then commit to whatever we land on, including when we land against you
• If something's broken and nobody owns it, you own it now
• You're neither breathless nor dismissive about agents doing commercial work with limited supervision. It isn't a feature, it's a different risk model, and we want someone with judgement about it
• Будет плюсом: Product experience in marketplaces, eCommerce, logistics or fintech, or somewhere else with real money and real physics involved; Depth in one of the surfaces above: autonomous procurement and agents, price and supply intelligence, catalogue and trust, or buyer economics

• Base salary: €80,000 to €115,000 (Amsterdam) / £80,000 to £115,000 (London) depending on experience
• 26 days of annual leave, plus 4 additional personal days
• Equity & company performance-based bonus
• Pension contributions
• Annual learning & development budget
• Office-led culture with hybrid flexibility
• Dog-friendly offices
• Home-office setup package
• Office socials and annual company-wide offsite
