About the role
The Senior Product Manager will support the Feedonomics platform and drive its evolution in the agentic era of commerce. This role focuses on two strategic pillars: expanding and maturing the API surface area for integration with services and AI-powered workflows at scale, and building a next-generation in-platform AI assistant that enables users to interact with the platform through natural language.
Responsibilities
- Own the strategy and roadmap for Feedonomics' programmatic access layer, including APIs covering catalog management, data transformation, import/export configuration, etc.
- Define capability requirements and prioritize the backlog for API surface expansion; translate complex workflows into clear, well-scoped API capabilities.
- Lead the product definition for a conversational AI assistant embedded in the Feedonomics platform, enabling users to take targeted catalog management and channel actions through natural language.
- Work closely with engineering to define the right level of abstraction for Feedonomics tools to simplify workflows and reduce required API calls.
- Stay current with the evolving agentic ecosystem (MCP, function-calling, agent SDKs) and continuously refine the product strategy based on how customers and partners are adopting these capabilities.
- Conduct market research and competitive analysis to identify trends, customer needs, and opportunities in e-commerce technology and the AI tooling landscape.
- Collaborate closely with engineering, design, sales, and customer support to define requirements and priorities grounded in customer outcomes.
- Decompose complex initiatives into iterative deliverables, with each release adding measurable customer value.
- Create comprehensive narratives for Epics and Stories; facilitate planning and grooming sessions to keep teams aligned and unblocked.
- Validate new functionality with platform users and key stakeholders before development; demo features to the organization and customers.
- Define and track metrics that measure the effectiveness of product enhancements; iterate based on data.
- Communicate product strategy, business outcomes, and performance metrics to stakeholders at all levels.
Requirements
- 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years owning platform, API, or developer-facing products.
- Strong familiarity with the e-commerce technology stack: platforms (Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento), advertising channels (Google, Meta), marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart, eBay), and business systems (PIM, ERP, OMS).
- Experience working in a fast-paced, startup-like environment with ambiguous, high-stakes problems.
- Technical background or strong technical orientation — comfortable getting into the weeds with engineers on API design, authentication schemes, rate-limit strategy, and data pipeline architecture.
- Familiarity with the emerging agentic AI tooling ecosystem: Model Context Protocol (MCP), LLM function calling, agent SDKs, or similar.
- Understanding of the agent harness and orchestration layer — how frameworks wrap LLMs with memory, tools, and execution loops, and why that matters for how external agents will discover and invoke Feedonomics capabilities.
- Comfortable working with REST APIs, reading API documentation, and reasoning about developer ergonomics and integration patterns.
- Powerful cross-functional influencer — people like working with you even when they disagree with you.
- Strong UX instincts and drive the design vision.
- Able to ask "Why did they build it that way?" and "What would happen if...?"
- Loves trying new things.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills, including the ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate complex requirements into actionable product plans.
