Company Description
Depop is a peer-to-peer circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell and discover secondhand fashion. Our mission is simple: to make fashion circular by making secondhand as exciting and rewarding as buying new.
Founded in 2011, Depop’s diverse community has helped move resale into the mainstream, where buying secondhand is no longer an alternative, but how people of different ages now engage with fashion. Today, more than 56 million registered users come to Depop to find great value, express their own personal style and give clothes a longer life. We believe that everything you want already exists, and our role is to help people discover it.
Powered by a team of over 500 people, our company is headquartered in London, with offices in New York. In 2021, Depop became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Etsy - the global marketplace for unique and creative goods - and continues to operate as a standalone company.

We’re currently hiring for a Product Manager to lead the Web Sellers Team on a fixed-term basis. The Sellers product team works to build experiences that help sellers succeed on Depop. You will be reporting to the Senior Director of Product.
Vision, strategy and roadmap:
Define and drive the web sellers product vision, as it relates to the Sellers product strategy.
Deciding what to build:
Working with product squad leadership (designer, engineering manager) to prioritise features that deliver the highest impact against quarterly objectives, the wider Sellers strategy, within constraint of the teams’ resources.
Combine user research, rigorous data exploration and technical guidance to make informed decisions about the vital few worth building, what to not pursue and when to adjust focus where necessary. You iterate on hypotheses and solutions as you learn.
Scope and effectively prioritise new features to ensure the right balance between effort and impact.
Have a point of view on what seller features and tools belong on web vs. app, based on the type of sellers who use it, the types of problems we are solving, and the inherent strengths of web-based vs. app-based experiences.
Product Execution:
Work with squad leadership to ensure solutions are simple, intuitive, and web-optimised - ensuring break-points, mobile web, responsiveness are considered when building web experiences and features.
Working with the engineering team to ensure features are built to specifications, championing quality and product excellence.
Leverage experimentation when appropriate to test and learn against hypotheses, capitalising on the ability to fail fast and learn faster through web development.
Recognising obstacles to the team, and making sure they are escalated or resolved before they impact delivery. Keeping effort vs value at the forefront of your decision making.
Keeping everyone aligned and informed:
Aligning with the Senior Product Director and functional leadership on the priorities and strategic goals of the wider product area.

Motivating the team and giving them the context they need to reach their potential.
Creating and fostering a team culture that keeps people engaged and focused.

Robust technical understanding. You have a good understanding of web development, and are able to challenge engineers on their assumptions and have productive conversations about size and scope of web features.
Great leadership and sense of ownership. You own the web sellers experience, and make decisions that steer the team and the product in the right direction, against our overall company and sellers strategy.
Excellent communication skills and executive presence.
Extremely collaborative. Inventory is at the core of our company differentiation - you will need to build relationships with senior stakeholders across product, strategy and operations, and engineering.
Strategic and commercial acumen. The web seller's experience is an important lever for driving inventory at scale. You must be able to balance commercial and user requirements when prioritising features the team is building.
Strong accountability and ownership. You create order in the world around you and get huge satisfaction from delivering the highest quality features.
