About the role Storio Group is a customer-centric company, and our Checkout experience plays a critical role in both customer satisfaction and conversion. We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced Senior Product Manager to lead the Checkout team, ensuring a seamless and delightful purchase journey for our customers. This is a 12 month maternity cover position. The Checkout team is responsible for the entire end-to-end customer experience from product configuration to order confirmation, encompassing areas such as payment processing, upsell, cross sell, shipping options and order confirmation.

About the role Storio Group is a customer-centric company, and our Checkout experience plays a critical role in both customer satisfaction and conversion. We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced Senior Product Manager to lead the Checkout team, ensuring a seamless and delightful purchase journey for our customers. This is a 12 month maternity cover position. The Checkout team is responsible for the entire end-to-end customer experience from product configuration to order confirmation, encompassing areas such as payment processing, upsell, cross sell, shipping options and order confirmation. This role will require a deep understanding of customer behavior, industry best practices, and emerging technologies to continuously improve our Checkout experience and drive significant increases in conversion rates and AOV whilst reducing cart abandonment. The Checkout team is embarking on a re-design of our current experience, aiming to address key friction points in the customer journey and lay the foundations for future innovation. The successful candidate will be a strong leader with a proven track record of delivering successful eCommerce products. You will be passionate about creating exceptional customer experiences, able to navigate and lead complex projects and have the ability to translate customer needs into innovative product solutions. Your Daily Adventure at Storio As a Senior Product Manager at Storio, you'll be the driving force behind our Checkout experience. This means owning the product roadmap, leading the Checkout team (designers, researchers, engineers, etc.), and collaborating closely with stakeholders across the business.

You'll play a key role in shaping the future of our Checkout experience, leading the charge on new initiatives and ensuring we stay ahead of the curve, while also defining a long-term vision for the Checkout experience that aligns with Storio's overall product strategy.
