It's time to build. Whether it's creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us.
Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.
We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager - Catalog and Search to lead the development of the Kojo catalog. Our catalog is incredibly rich and complex, spanning construction trades and vendors. It is this team's mission to ensure we provide complete, accurate, up-to-date, and optimized catalogs to our internal teams and customers.
As a Senior Product Manager, Catalog, you will own the ingestion, tooling, optimization, and merchandising of the Kojo catalog while creating the data structure our internal teams use to create excellent user experiences.
This role will include:
Owning the success of your product and acting as an influential leader within Product and Engineering teams
Developing a unique understanding of construction materials and our customers’ material management processes
Creating a forward-thinking vision for your product area that is inspiring, innovative, and will push Kojo to grow as a company
Cultivating a deep knowledge of our users by leveraging data to make decisions that benefit them and drive product usage
Collaborating with design, engineering, and marketing to build and successfully release products and features that delight our customers
Identifying and hiring a cross-industry merchandising team and purchasing or building tooling to support the team’s work.
Developing a merchandising and search strategy for item selection across clients and vendors.
Partnering with vendors to ingest and organize their catalogs within Kojo.
Leading our merchandising team, establishing standards and maintaining team metrics around velocity and quality.
An influential team player who can manage ambiguity, compile insights, and design solutions will succeed in this role. You may be a great fit for this position if you have catalog or e-commerce experience and are excited to have a real-world impact.
What you’ve accomplished:
5+ years of experience working on SaaS products
Establishing a comprehensive merchandising and search strategy
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
Demonstrated understanding of product discovery and delivery
Fast learner with the desire to learn multiple functional areas of business
Solution oriented, using sound judgment to assess risk
Ability to communicate your ideas in a well-structured, data-informed way
Experience collaborating with engineers, designers, and other stakeholders
Track record of success combining practical and conceptual thinking skills with proof of impact on a complex problem space
