Product Manager - Storefront

Role Overview

Product Manager - Storefront at Salla, building the digital backbone of commerce in the region. This role owns search, the product page, and reviews—critical surfaces where thousands of stores' buyers discover products, make decisions, and build trust.

Company Overview

Salla empowers thousands of merchants to start, grow, and scale their businesses by turning complex commerce into something simple, powerful, and scalable. Every Salla store runs on one storefront, and every product change ships to thousands of stores at once.

Role Purpose

Own the end-to-end experience of search, product pages, and reviews across Salla's storefront. Drive buyer conversion and merchant sales by making discovery effortless, product decisions confident, and trust transparent. Work closely with data and AI teams to turn complex models into experiences buyers feel and merchants see in their revenue.

Key Responsibilities

Discovery & Search

• Know Salla's buyers: how they shop across different stores, what makes them hesitate, compare, or leave.
• Own search, the product page, and reviews end to end, from discovery to iteration, tied to buyer conversion and merchant sales.
• Partner with data and AI teams on ranking, query understanding, and semantic search.
• Run continuous discovery: talk to buyers and merchants regularly, watch real sessions, and test ideas with prototypes before committing engineering time.

Product Design & Decision-Making

• Bring buyer and merchant voice into every decision.
• Design the product page around the buyer's decision: what they need to see, trust, and confirm before they buy.
• Build reviews that buyers trust and merchants can use, including for stores with few or no reviews.
• Decide what ships, to which stores, and how you measure it.

Experimentation & Rollout

• Experiment by default and ship safely across thousands of stores: staged rollouts, experiments, guardrails, and a way back.
• Make decisions with data: define the metrics that matter for each surface, read the funnel yourself, and let evidence, not opinion, settle debates.

Qualifications & Experience

• 4–6 years of experience in Product Management, preferably owning Search, Discovery, Product Pages, Conversion, or other customer-facing product experiences within a live consumer or e-commerce product.
• Proven experience driving product metrics and business outcomes, with the ability to explain what changed, why it changed, and how the impact was measured.
• Hands-on experience conducting User Research and Product Experiments, using insights to influence product decisions.
• Experience working closely with Data Science and Machine Learning teams on Search, Ranking, or Recommendation with a clear understanding of product ownership and decision-making responsibilities.
• Strong understanding of Arabic Search and Discovery, including Arabic spelling variations, dialects, transliteration, Arabic-English mixed queries, and search behavior.
• Demonstrated ownership of product outcomes, with the ability to work independently, take initiative, and move quickly in a fast-paced environment.
• Preferred: Experience building a product, feature, or business from 0-to-1, either as a founder, early-stage team member, or founding product team member.

Skills & Competencies

• AI-native mindset with hands-on experience using AI tools for data analysis, prototyping, research, and interpreting product results.
• Fluent in Arabic and English, both written and spoken.
• You simplify: you cut before you add.
