Job description
Our Journey
ShopBack began in 2014 as a late-night spark of inspiration between Henry and Joel — not just to build a Cashback platform, but to reimagine how brands and consumers connect. As former advertisers, they understood the limitations of traditional marketing, and saw an opportunity to deliver more value on both sides. That idea quickly turned into action, with the first prototype built during a 24-hour sprint. Today, ShopBack serves over 50 million users across 13 markets, partners with 20,000+ merchants, and powers over half a million transactions daily. We’re building The World’s Most Rewarding Way to Shop — and looking for bold, driven individuals to join us.
About the Role
ShopBack is seeking a future-ready Product Manager, AI with a sharp grasp of modern AI capabilities and a builder’s mindset. Rather than focusing on foundational ML development, you’ll lead the charge in identifying, integrating, and scaling cutting-edge AI technologies and tools to accelerate product innovation and drive measurable business outcomes.
This role is for a strategic operator who knows how to leverage what’s already available in the AI ecosystem to deliver fast, scalable, and user-impacting results. You will collaborate across product, data, and engineering teams to turn AI potential into practical, high-value product features and workflows.
Your Adventure Ahead
- AI-Driven Product Strategy: Define and own the vision for AI-driven capabilities, aligning roadmap execution with business objectives. Identify opportunities to use off-the-shelf AI tools (e.g. LLM APIs, AutoML, cloud AI services, agent frameworks) to accelerate time-to-value.
- Applied AI Integration: Lead implementation of AI-enhanced features like smart search, personalization, intelligent workflows, or content generation — using existing AI platforms and APIs. Rapidly prototype and test ideas by combining internal data with external tools (e.g. OpenAI, etc.).
- Product Execution & Lifecycle Ownership: Drive projects from concept to launch: define requirements, prioritize trade-offs, and manage execution. Partner with engineers and analysts to build MVPs and iterate based on performance and feedback.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Translate AI capabilities into business language. Ensure internal stakeholders understand use cases, limitations, and risks. Work closely with data, engineering, marketing, and customer-facing teams to embed AI into everyday product and operational decisions.
- User-Centered Experimentation: Own experimentation strategy (A/B tests, user studies, feedback loops) to assess impact and refine AI-powered features. Monitor usage patterns, iterate on design, and improve AI performance metrics like relevance, latency, and output quality.
- Responsible AI Practices: Ensure solutions adhere to privacy and ethical standards. You advocate for explainability, user trust, and fairness in application.
Essentials to Succeed
- 8+ years in product management, including 2+ years building AI-powered or automation-driven products using third-party tools and services.
- Strong understanding of new-age AI technologies (e.g. generative AI, LLMs, vector search, prompt engineering) and ecosystems (e.g. OpenAI, Hugging Face, Anthropic, Google Vertex AI).
- Proven experience using AI capabilities as enablers. Ability to rapidly assess build-vs-buy trade-offs and move fast by stitching together off-the-shelf AI components.
- Familiarity with no-code/low-code AI tools, embeddings, APIs, and workflow automation platforms.
- Strong product intuition with a bias toward experimentation and measurable impact.
- Fluent in product tools (Jira, Figma, Notion) and comfortable with basic data tools (SQL, dashboards).
- Exposure to tools like Zapier, Retool, GPT-based agents, or Chrome extensions built on LLMs.
- Background in e-commerce, fintech, or user-facing platforms where AI drives engagement and retention.
