Product Manager
Department: Technology & Data
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Trimble Offices, Morley
Description
About the team: At Vintage Cash Cow, technology is how we scale impact. From the moment a customer sends us their pre-loved items, to processing and pricing each box, through to re-commercing items across our marketplace channels—every step is powered by the systems we design, the products we build, and the data we unlock.
Our Technology, Product & Data team supports both our customers and the internal teams who make everything happen. We build the tools that keep boxes moving, items priced, stock managed, and sales flowing.
This is a team where curiosity meets craft: blending creativity, technical excellence, and a product mindset to deliver solutions that simplify complexity, drive operational excellence, and support our growth.
About the role: As a Product Manager, you will own and drive the strategy for our internal products and services that power our business operations. This includes logistics applications, operational tools, third-party integrations, and platforms that enable our teams to work efficiently and effectively.
This role requires a blend of technical understanding and core product management skills to translate business needs into well-defined solutions. You\'ll work closely with stakeholders across operations, technology, and commercial teams to identify opportunities, prioritise initiatives, and deliver measurable improvements.
Working across all VCC brands, you will be data-focused when identifying opportunities for growth and evidence-based when setting, prioritising, and validating initiatives to deliver quantifiable business outcomes. This role will require you to work from the Leeds offices or warehouse regularly. This role will require you to travel to our European location and other International locations as we scale.
You\'ll thrive in this role if you\'re energised by experimentation—testing assumptions, learning fast, and iterating based on real data. We don\'t expect perfection the first time; we expect curiosity, a willingness to try new approaches, and the resilience to learn from what doesn\'t work.
What we are looking for is someone who…
- Asks "what if?" and "how might we?" rather than accepting things as they are.
- Would rather test an idea quickly and learn than spend months perfecting a plan.
- Gets excited by uncertainty and uses curiosity to navigate it.
- Brings evidence to conversations, not just opinions.
Getting Started...
- Familiarise yourself with VCC’s current products, platforms and business objectives.
- Build relationships with key stakeholders across operations, logistics, finance, commercial, and marketplace teams to understand pain points and opportunities.
- Gain insight into how internal tools and third-party integrations support the end-to-end box journey—from customer sign up through to re-commerce.
- Embrace our test-and-learn culture—start forming hypotheses and running small experiments early.
Establishing Your Impact…
- Develop and familiarise yourself with product analytics to identify key problem areas and opportunities for change.
- Build and manage a compelling product roadmap for internal tools and integrations.
- Contribute to the overarching product vision and strategy.
- Manage and prioritise the product backlog to deliver high-value benefits for the business.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine processes and drive initiatives from inception to delivery.
- Design and run experiments to validate product ideas before committing to full builds.
- Use data to form hypotheses, test assumptions quickly, and iterate based on what you learn.
- Champion a "fail fast, learn faster" mindset—prioritising learning over perfection.
Driving Excellence…
- Lead and report on product performance, integration effectiveness, and operational analytics.
- Facilitate and collate insights from internal users to identify areas of opportunity.
- Foster a culture of experimentation across the team—encouraging bold ideas, rapid prototyping, and evidence-based decision making.
- Continuously seek opportunities to innovate, challenge the status quo, and enhance VCC\'s internal products.
- Lead by example: propose experiments, share learnings openly, and celebrate what we discover—even when things don\'t go to plan.
- Champion Agile methodologies and define clear go-to-market strategies to ensure timely and efficient delivery.
