Product Manager - Buyer Experience

1stDibs is a one-of-a-kind online marketplace that connects design lovers to more than one million extraordinary pieces, from furniture and fine art to jewelry and fashion. As a leading global marketplace for design lovers, we enable shoppers to discover beautiful things and engage with top sellers from around the world. We encourage our shoppers to interact with sellers throughout all stages of the transaction, including item inquiries, price negotiations and customization requests.

As the Product Manager for the Buyer Experience, you will own the critical touchpoints that define how users interact and transact on our marketplace. You aren’t just managing features; you are the architect of the Trade, Private Client and Message Center ecosystems, driving scalable growth by bridging the gap between buyer intent and successful conversion.

You’ll lead a high-velocity, cross-functional squad of engineers, designers, and analysts to transform complex buyer pain points into elegant, high-performance product solutions. This role offers high visibility to senior leadership and the autonomy to significantly influence our global product strategy.

What you’ll do

Own the Vision: Define and execute the multi-quarter strategy and roadmap for Onboarding flows, Message Center and our Trade and Private Client Program, ensuring they align with overarching business goals.

Full-Lifecycle Delivery: Lead product development from raw concept and rapid experimentation to full-scale global launches.

Data-Driven Discovery: Synthesize user research, competitive market analysis, and deep-funnel analytics to uncover "hidden" opportunities for innovation.

Bridge the Gap: Act as the connective tissue between design, engineering, and marketing to build, iterate, and polish key buyer-facing features.

Drive Engagement: Partner with stakeholders to optimize the communication loop between buyers and sellers, specifically aimed at increasing Trade program velocity.

Evangelize the Roadmap: Communicate product wins and strategic pivots to senior leadership, setting clear expectations and building organizational consensus.

Obsess over the Buyer: Become the voice of the user by analyzing on-site behaviors and conducting direct interviews to solve friction in the marketplace journey.

What you’ll bring

Marketplace Instinct: 3+ years of PM experience, with a strong preference for e-commerce or complex two-sided marketplaces.

Strategic Execution: A proven track record of managing technical roadmaps and delivering measurable ROI.

Master Storyteller: Exceptional communication skills. You can translate complex technical constraints into compelling narratives for any audience.

Analytical Rigor: Proficiency in SQL and data visualization. You don't just report data - you use it to make informed trade-offs and find the "why" behind the numbers.

Collaborative Leadership: A natural ability to lead by influence, breaking down silos and driving decisive action in ambiguous environments.

Problem Solver: You thrive on deconstructing complex issues and identifying creative, scalable solutions.
