• Strategic Thinking : Define and articulate a vision for how commerce should work on our platform, ensuring alignment with business and user needs.
• Cross-functional Collaboration : Work closely with product managers, engineers, and researchers to bring ideas to life, balancing usability, feasibility, and business impact.
• Evolve the Seller Experience : Help build and refine seller tools that support inventory management, product presentation, pricing, payments, and logistics.
• Innovate on Sales Formats : Partner with teams to explore and design unique ways for buyers to shop and sellers to sell.
