Senior Product Manager, Shopify Apps (Remote)

Why you should join us

  • Thrive in the Shopify ecosystem: Be part of a team that’s building one of the most popular apps on Shopify. Your work will directly influence the success of tens of thousands of e-commerce businesses.
  • Remote-first flexibility: Work from anywhere (EMEA time zone preferred) with 100% remote forever.
  • Bootstrapped & stable: Join a profitable startup with real customers and steady growth. No external investors means we prioritize product quality and user happiness above all else.
  • AI-driven culture: Use AI tools not just in engineering, but in product discovery, fast prototyping, and customer insights. We encourage experimentation with new AI-driven workflows to accelerate innovation.
  • Direct impact & ownership: Small, agile team where transparency, ownership, and diversity are valued. Your decisions will directly shape product features used by millions of people worldwide.

What you will be doing (Responsibilities)

  • Drive product strategy for major initiatives: Partner with leadership to define vision for specific product areas and deliver results at scale.
  • Prototype AI-powered solutions: Use your technical background and AI tools to quickly create prototypes, test them with users, and iterate fast.
  • Customer-first discovery: Run weekly customer interviews, analyze quantitative and qualitative data, and identify opportunities to solve real problems at scale.
  • Prioritize with impact: Lead prioritization across multiple initiatives, ensuring clarity and focus.
  • Collaborate with engineering & design: Partner closely with technical teams, speaking their language and accelerating delivery through clear, outcome-based thinking.
  • Champion product excellence: Ensure solutions are not just functional but delightful, maintaining Vitals’ reputation as one of the most loved apps in the Shopify ecosystem.

What we’re looking for (Requirements)

  • Proven senior-level product management: 5+ years shipping digital products in e-commerce or SaaS, with at least 2+ years in the Shopify ecosystem.
  • Shopify experience (MANDATORY): Direct PM/builder experience either at Shopify Inc. OR as a PM of a Shopify App. Running a Shopify store, doing agency work for stores, or any merchant-side experience alone does NOT qualify.
  • Technical acumen: You can partner with engineering effectively, understand technical constraints, and use lightweight tools to test and validate product ideas quickly.
  • Hands-on AI builder: You actively use AI tools every day. You write your own PRDs, build your own clickable prototypes, ship internal tools & skills, and run discovery yourself.
  • Analytical & user-focused: Strong ability to work with data and customer insights to guide prioritization and decision-making.
  • Strategic & executional balance: You can zoom out to set vision and zoom in to solve detailed problems.
  • Excellent communicator: Able to clearly express product ideas across teams, with structured writing and storytelling.
  • Team leadership: Experience managing and mentoring Product Managers, fostering collaboration, and scaling product teams in a startup environment.
  • Startup mindset: High energy, bias towards action, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment with limited structure.

  • Prior experience launching or scaling Shopify apps.
  • Experience building AI-driven consumer or SaaS products.
  • Strong UI/UX sense with the ability to sketch or prototype interfaces.
