RetailNext is hiring a VP of Product Management

About the Role

Lead the product vision for a growing B2B retail analytics platform, reporting directly to the CEO. This role is central to shaping the strategic direction of the company’s core offerings across Traffic, Labs, and Asset Protection. You’ll move beyond managing inputs to driving proactive, market-informed innovation that aligns with evolving customer needs and industry shifts.

Key Responsibilities

  • Engage directly with customers to deeply understand their workflows, pain points, and tool ecosystems
  • Participate in sales discussions to hear feedback firsthand and refine product positioning
  • Monitor competitive dynamics, emerging technologies, and retail trends to inform roadmap decisions
  • Translate customer insights into clear product strategy and prioritization
  • Use the product regularly to maintain hands-on familiarity and identify opportunities
  • Build, mentor, and scale a customer-obsessed product team with defined ownership areas
  • Establish a culture where product managers routinely engage in customer and sales conversations
  • Collaborate closely with engineering leaders, including those in Europe, to align execution with vision
  • Develop strong credibility with technical teams through product expertise and customer empathy
  • Balance assertive product leadership with collaborative execution across functions

Qualifications

Candidates should bring proven experience in B2B software product management, with a focus on applications used by business professionals who aren’t technical experts. Exceptional communication skills and the ability to influence across teams—especially engineering—are essential. You must be comfortable traveling regularly and thriving in a hybrid environment spanning US and European time zones.

Executive-level experience is preferred, as is background in retail technology or SaaS platforms. Founders of early-stage ventures, even if not scaled, are encouraged to apply—your entrepreneurial mindset and product-building experience are valuable. The ideal candidate thrives on customer insight, embraces autonomy, and is ready to lead at the executive level with visibility across the organization.
