Wolf & Badger is on a mission to make retail fair. Supporting our community of independent designers from around the globe, we connect customers with ethically sourced fashion, design, home and beauty through our online marketplace and flagship stores in London, New York City and Los Angeles. We are a scale-up business based in the UK and US and a Certified B Corporation, with social and environmental purpose at the core of everything we do. We are looking for a bold and technically fluent Senior Product Manager to lead product across the platform that powers our marketplace. Reporting directly to the CEO and working day to day with our VP Technology and a team of c.10 engineers, you will be the senior product voice in the business, with an unusually broad remit: agentic commerce, distribution channels, retail media, product data, integrations and the platform capabilities behind our customer and brand experiences. This is an AI-first role. We are one of the first marketplaces live on agent-initiated checkout, and we are opening structured, authenticated access to our platform: AI agents discovering and transacting with our catalogue, brands plugging their own systems and agents into stock, orders and fulfilment, and partners such as 3PLs connecting directly. We expect our next Product Manager to work the same way: reaching for a working prototype before a written spec, automating their own workflows, and using AI to multiply what one person can scope, test and ship. At Wolf & Badger we champion a low-ego environment where cross-functional debate is encouraged, and we strive to be mission-orientated and fair at all times. This is a genuinely autonomous role. You will be our sole product manager on this remit, without a dedicated designer or researcher behind you: you will orchestrate design through AI tooling and external partners, run your own AI-assisted discovery, and pull your own data. If that sounds daunting, this isn't the role for you; if it sounds like freedom, we should talk. This is a full-time role which benefits from flexible hybrid working practices, combining onsite working from our vibrant Central London office (3+ days per week) and working from home. We also offer a generous annual work from abroad allowance.

Full time
Wolf & Badger is on a mission to make retail fair. Supporting our community of independent designers from around the globe, we connect customers with ethically sourced fashion, design, home and beauty through our online marketplace and flagship stores in London, New York City and Los Angeles. We are a scale-up business based in the UK and US and a Certified B Corporation, with social and environmental purpose at the core of everything we do. We are looking for a bold and technically fluent Senior Product Manager to lead product across the platform that powers our marketplace. Reporting directly to the CEO and working day to day with our VP Technology and a team of c.10 engineers, you will be the senior product voice in the business, with an unusually broad remit: agentic commerce, distribution channels, retail media, product data, integrations and the platform capabilities behind our customer and brand experiences. This is an AI-first role. We are one of the first marketplaces live on agent-initiated checkout, and we are opening structured, authenticated access to our platform: AI agents discovering and transacting with our catalogue, brands plugging their own systems and agents into stock, orders and fulfilment, and partners such as 3PLs connecting directly. We expect our next Product Manager to work the same way: reaching for a working prototype before a written spec, automating their own workflows, and using AI to multiply what one person can scope, test and ship. At Wolf & Badger we champion a low-ego environment where cross-functional debate is encouraged, and we strive to be mission-orientated and fair at all times. This is a genuinely autonomous role. You will be our sole product manager on this remit, without a dedicated designer or researcher behind you: you will orchestrate design through AI tooling and external partners, run your own AI-assisted discovery, and pull your own data. If that sounds daunting, this isn't the role for you; if it sounds like freedom, we should talk. This is a full-time role which benefits from flexible hybrid working practices, combining onsite working from our vibrant Central London office (3+ days per week) and working from home. We also offer a generous annual work from abroad allowance.
