Product Manager @ Outpost

Global expansion is broken. Without a local entity, conversion rates fall, costs rise, and compliance gets messy. Outpost fixes it.

Selling internationally is a maze of tax, payments, and operational friction. Most brands avoid it or expand slowly and expensively.

Outpost is your modular back office for global commerce.

Pick only what you need — tax, payments, treasury, or operations — and unlock new markets without the overhead.

We operate as Merchant of Record for digital and physical goods across 58+ tax jurisdictions. That means we own the full stack — payments, tax, compliance, and customer experience.

Sell anything, anywhere. Without compromise.

🧠 The Role

This is a Product Manager role for someone who wants to build like a founder, ship like an engineer, and happens to have world-class product taste.

You'll own the product roadmap end-to-end — from merchant conversations to technical specs to post-launch iteration. You'll work directly with the CEO, engineering, and operations to turn the messy reality of global commerce into elegant, scalable product experiences.

This isn't a role where you write specs and throw them over the wall. You'll be in the weeds: talking to merchants, debugging edge cases with engineers, analysing data, and making hard trade-offs between speed and quality.

Work is a big part of your purpose. You want to build something important, take ownership, and ship products that unlock billions in global trade.

🧗 What You'll Get

Yes, the work is intense. But in return, you'll get training and exposure most people wait 10–20 years to access.

You'll be working on global problems, dealing with senior stakeholders, and owning strategic projects across payments, tax, finance, product, and operations — from day one.

We won't handhold, but we'll coach you hard. If you're hungry, you'll leave this role with a world-class product skillset and the ability to build products in the hardest domains.

🧩 What You'll Do

Own the product

Define roadmap and prioritise ruthlessly based on merchant pain, technical feasibility, and commercial impact

Take full ownership from ideation through launch, growth, and iteration

Set success metrics and obsessively track what's working and what's not

Make the hard calls: what to build, what to kill, what to ship fast vs. build right

Be the voice of the merchant

Run merchant interviews, analyse feedback, and translate pain into product requirements

Work with Ops and Legal to understand blockers in onboarding, compliance, and payments

Turn complex merchant needs into simple, scalable product experiences

Equip sales so they can win with customers

Ship with engineering

Write specs that engineers can actually build from

Have technical discussions about architecture, trade-offs, and implementation

Scope down relentlessly - i.e. ship the 20% that delivers 80% of the value

Debug issues in production and iterate based on real merchant behaviour

Think strategically

Connect the dots between product, market expansion, and business model

Identify white space: what should we build next to unlock the next 10 markets or $10M in revenue?

Work on pricing, positioning, and go-to-market strategy

Track competitive landscape and ensure we stay ahead
