About the Role

At Vailent, you’ll join a small, agile, and fully remote team with the backing and stability of a global parent company. We combine the autonomy of a startup with the reach of a world leader. You’ll find the freedom to own your work, the support of approachable leadership, and the opportunity to solve complex challenges that directly impact how an entire industry operates.

As Product Manager for Marketplace Experience, you’ll focus on building the end-to-end experience that drives catalog discovery, customer engagement, and procurement efficiency. Your goal is to deeply understand B2B buyer behavior and the procurement decision-making process, then design workflows that not only convert catalog views into quotes and order requests, but also increase platform stickiness.

You’ll own how buyers and sellers interact with the marketplace: from search and product discovery, to catalog navigation, product detail pages, and beyond. This role requires a strong grasp of B2B e-commerce workflows and customer lifecycle management.

What You’ll Do

• Own marketplace discovery & conversion — Define and execute product vision and strategy for catalog, product search, product details page that drive customer engagement and quote requests.
• Understand procurement deeply — Leverage insights into how B2B buyers evaluate, compare, and decide on products to optimize workflows and reduce friction.
• Champion the customer journey — Cover every touchpoint in the buyer’s lifecycle (discovery, quoting, ordering, and follow-up) to maximize retention and long-term engagement.
• Drive cross-functional impact — Work closely with design, engineering, sales, and marketing to ensure marketplace features reflect both buyer needs and seller goals.
• Measure & optimize continuously — Define and track KPIs such as catalog engagement, quote conversion, product request volume, and repeat usage; run experiments to improve outcomes.

• 2–5 years of product management experience (marketplace or SaaS background is a plus).
• Strong understanding of marketplace dynamics, user journeys, and product discovery.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives from concept to launch.
• Data-driven decision-making skills, with experience using analytics tools.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment.
• Deep understanding of B2B purchasing workflows — what influences buyer decision-making, how they discover products, and what builds trust.
• Experience in polymers or chemicals is a plus.
