Senior Product Manager - Catalog

At Salla, we are building the digital backbone of commerce in the region, empowering thousands of merchants to start, grow, and scale their businesses. We turn what's complex into something simple, powerful, and scalable.

Catalog is the layer underneath everything. Storefronts, search, recommendations, landing pages, and every channel a merchant sells through all read from the same product data. When it is good, every surface above it gets better at once. When it is thin or wrong, nothing built on top can fix it.

Two things make this exciting:.

First, Salla does not build the catalog. Merchants do, and often not even the merchant: a freelancer, operations staff, an outsourced agency. Every surface we build inherits what those hands produce. So the question is not how to clean the data. It is how you change what someone produces when they do not work for you and mostly want to finish and move on.

Second, no two categories need the same product record. What a fashion merchant needs is not what a pharmacy, a grocer, or a gold merchant needs. The easy answer is to build each category separately, and it does not scale.

You will drive impact across five areas

• The Catalog Engine and Category Setup (one engine, built once, with what each category needs from a product record expressed as configuration rather than code, so supporting one more category is fast and repeatable)
• Product Data Input (creation, bulk import, editing, and everything that happens at the moment someone types or uploads)
• Structure and Meaning (taxonomy, attributes, variants, identifiers, normalization, and duplicates)
• AI Enrichment (extracting and generating product data from what merchants already have, with a clear position on confidence, review, and correction)
• Downstream Fitness (how this data actually performs where it is consumed: search results, storefronts, recommendations, and external channel feeds)

Responsibilities

• Own the catalog strategy end to end: sequence it into quarters, defend it in the room, and…
