Join Hire Hangar and work with fast-growing global companies while building a long-term career.

Job Title: E-commerce Product Manager

Location: Remote

Time Zone: US Time Zones (EST–PST)

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead product strategy: define category focus, product roadmap, and launch sequencing
  • Source products profitably: supplier discovery, negotiations, landed-cost modeling, and margin targets
  • Own listing creation and optimization: positioning, keyword strategy, conversion improvements, and catalog quality
  • Build operational plans for inventory and fulfillment
  • Partner with creative/resources as needed (briefing images, A+ content, packaging, and brand assets)
  • Drive performance through metrics: contribution margin, pricing, inventory health, and ad efficiency (as needed)
  • Establish repeatable processes for scaling and prepare to hire/support a small team over time

Required Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience with demonstrated ownership of product selection, sourcing, and scaling
  • Strong commercial and operational judgment: selecting products, managing suppliers, and planning inventory/fulfillment
  • Ability to manage vendor/wholesaler relationships and negotiate pricing/terms confidently
  • Comfortable operating as a “single-threaded owner” with minimal direction and high accountability

Prior remote work experience; fluent with remote collaboration tools and platforms (Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Asana, or similar); and ideally worked with US or UK-based companies. Applications without this will not be considered.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Category depth in Home & Garden, Tools, or Electronics (or adjacent physical goods categories)
  • Experience with store relaunches, SKU pipeline creation, and scaling from low activity to consistent velocity
  • Experience with Amazon Ads management or strong ability to direct ad execution and measurement
  • Prior team leadership or mentorship experience (Director-level trajectory)

Tools & Technology

  • Product and market research tooling (e.g., Helium 10, Jungle Scout, Keepa)
  • Basic financial modeling (COGS/landed cost, contribution margin, inventory turns)
  • Collaboration and planning tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Asana/Trello)
