Description

Founded in 2017, we're Europe's fastest-growing marketplace for refurbished products, active in 12 European countries, having surpassed €2Bn in GMV - all this while being profitable. With beautiful headquarters in Vienna, we have a remote-first culture and Refurbed’s 250 employees can also enjoy two months of workation per year. We’ve been recognized for three consecutive years as the Top DACH Employer by Kununu. Our mission is to empower customers to buy products up to 40% cheaper while making a substantial impact on reducing CO2 emissions - Join us to make consumption more sustainable! We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to own and expand the seller and customer experience on refurbed, by ensuring a seamless, scalable, and high-quality inventory creation process and an optimized category structure that serves both our end-users and AI-driven search and SEO goals. You would work cross-functionally with your squad of engineers, our commercial and operations teams, and other product squads to make inventory creation effortless and category organization intelligent — driving both seller efficiency and customer findability. WHO YOU ARE: 3+ years of product management experience, ideally within a marketplace setup. Strong experience in data-rich or catalog-driven products (e.g., marketplaces, e-commerce platforms…). A strong discovery mindset: from understanding user workflows to validating solutions through prototypes, research, and data. Proven success building or optimizing seller tools, catalog systems, or data management interfaces. Comfort navigating technical discussions about data modeling, taxonomy, and integrations with engineering and analytics. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — you’ll align across commercial, SEO, data, and product teams. A data-driven and systems-thinking mindset, with experience defining and tracking product KPIs. Passion for sustainability, marketplaces, and building delightful, efficient tools for users and partners. WHAT YOU'LL DO: Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Category & Inventory Creation squad — building the foundation for how sellers list and manage their products and how customers discover them. Ensure our inventory creation process is fast, intuitive, and scalable, reducing friction for sellers while maintaining product quality and accuracy. Drive the evolution of our category taxonomy and product data structure, optimizing for end-user experience, SEO performance, and AI-driven search relevance. Lead discovery and experimentation with sellers, internal experts, and end-users to identify opportunities for automation, data enrichment, and process simplification. Collaborate closely with engineering to define robust APIs and data integrations, ensuring high data accuracy, system reliability, and smooth interoperability across teams. Use data and insights to measure impact, validate assumptions, and iterate quickly — from seller productivity improvements to user discovery outcomes. Act as the bridge between commercial, operations, and tech, ensuring our product catalog meets both marketplace and user needs, and that our category system supports future innovation in search and personalization. WHY YOU WILL ENJOY WORKING WITH US: Our Culture and Values: Decisions should be made based on facts and not by hierarchy levels? We sure think so! We embrace giving and receiving feedback, testing and welcoming new ideas, as well as sharing our knowledge across the company. You fail sometimes? Well, so do we! We’re all just human, let’s learn from our mistakes to improve in the future! No matter who you love, where you’re from, who you pray to, whether you pee sitting down or standing up – we are a bunch of talented people who enjoy spending our time making a difference! Personal & Professional Development: You'll have access to a dedicated learning budget within your department to support your growth, whether it's courses, conferences, or other learning opportunities that matter to you. We partner with Likeminded, offering you private sessions with experts for your personal growth and mental health. We frequently host internal workshops, allowing our teams to further develop their skills in different areas and enhancing collaboration across departments. Flexibility: We care about a healthy work/life balance. We not only function and support a fully remote setting but also offer the possibility to work from our beautiful office in the vibrant heart of Vienna – we love dogs, so feel free to bring your furry little buddy too 😊 We trust you to do the best job, so we don't care so much when you do it – you are able to self-organize. You will also be invited to take part in our office weeks, happening three times a year, where you will have the chance to work side by side with your colleagues and enjoy the team-building events and on-site workshops …and much more!
