Job Description

About Slickdeals:

We believe shopping should feel like winning. That’s why 10 million people come to Slickdeals to swap tips, upvote the best finds, and share the thrill of a great deal. Together, our community has saved more than $10 billion over the past 26 years.

We’re profitable, passionate, and in the middle of an exciting evolution—transforming from the internet’s most trusted deal forum into the go-to daily shopping destination. If you thrive in a fast-moving, creative environment where ideas turn into impact fast, you’ll fit right in.

The Role:

We're looking for a Product Manager who's energized by the full lifecycle of building, from messy early discovery to polished launch to post-ship iteration. You'll own meaningful parts of our product experience, work closely with engineering, design, and marketing, and make real decisions that affect millions of shoppers and the merchants who serve them.

You'll report to the Director of Product Management and collaborate across the company to shape what Slickdeals looks and feels like next.

What You'll Do:

  • Start with deep curiosity. Before forming opinions, you listen, research, and build genuine empathy with users. You understand the platform, its community, and its history before you start proposing changes.
  • Identify problems worth solving. You develop a grounded perspective on what's actually broken, then rigorously test whether solving it creates enough value to justify the investment over everything else that could be prioritized instead.
  • Build the case and earn alignment. You can articulate why a problem deserves investment, make the tradeoffs visible, and bring cross-functional partners along with you. You influence through clarity and rigor, not authority.
  • Ship things that matter. You drive features cross-functionally from alignment to launch, moving fast without losing alignment. You create clarity in ambiguous situations, surface blockers early, and keep stakeholders informed.
  • Report out honestly. You close the loop, sharing results and learnings with the team, whether the outcome was what you expected or not. You treat post-ship learning as part of the job, not an afterthought.
  • Contribute to product strategy. As you build context and credibility, you help shape where this area of the product is going and why.

What We're Looking For:

  • 3–5 years of product management experience. You've shipped meaningful features at a consumer-facing company and have the scars to prove it, not just the wins.
  • A track record of scaling what works. You've taken something from early-stage to something bigger, improving, iterating, and growing a product or program that already had traction. You know how to build on a foundation, not just tear it down and start over.
  • Genuine curiosity and a low ego. You arrive at a new company ready to listen and learn, not to import playbooks from your last job. You ask questions before you form opinions, and you're comfortable being the least informed person in the room while you get up to speed.
  • Innate critical thinking. You can hold a complex problem, pressure-test assumptions, and identify what's actually true versus what just feels true. You know the difference between a real insight and a confirmation of what you already believed.
  • Strong analytical instincts. You're fluent in data. You know what to measure, how to interpret it, and when the numbers are telling you something uncomfortable that you need to act on anyway.
  • The interpersonal skills to move things. You build trust across engineering, design, data, marketing and you know that alignment is earned through relationships and clarity, not authority.
  • Patience and a long view. You understand that good product work takes time. You don't mistake speed for progress, and you don't look for shortcuts when thoroughness is what's actually required.
  • A bias toward ownership. You care whether the thing you shipped actually worked. You follow through, you close the loop, and you don't consider the job done at launch.
