Product Manager

6-month contract Product Manager role working with a growing apparel product technology team with a global client.

• 6-month contract Product Manager role
• Working with the global merchandising, planning and allocations technology team
• Retail client located in downtown Vancouver, hybrid work environment available

What & Why:
Due to growth, we are seeking an experienced Product Manager with strong retail experience to join our client’s team. There are two roles in two distinct product streams supporting their merchandising planning and allocations team.  In one role you'll help bring together the capabilities, systems, and stakeholders needed to build out assortment planning and the preseason building blocks that support it, partnering closely with a Senior Product Manager on a program spanning approximately 30 people. This is a true PM-level role suited to a strong communicator who's comfortable presenting to business stakeholders, understands how data flows between connected systems, and can context-switch across a fast-moving, cross-functional environment. Regional merchandising experience is a strong asset.
In the other role you’ll support their global merchandising and design workflow, an upstream role connected to their broader visualization and assortment modernization program. You'll work closely with designers and merchants to understand how their tools and processes feed into downstream systems like VibeIQ, helping shape a smoother, more connected workflow across teams. This is a true PM role that is well suited to someone with a background in merchandising or design, strong business-facing communication skills, and a problem-solving mindset; digital product creation experience is a nice-to-have.

Who:
This client is one of the most recognizable Canadian brands, a true Vancouver success story who has expanded globally. They are well known for their corporate culture and has won major awards for their accomplishments. They have invested majorly in technology and have had an incredibly successful past few years, including a major strategic acquisition. They have an all-star leadership team who keeps you accountable and provides support while still affording you tremendous autonomy. They are located close to rapid transit in newly renovated offices in downtown Vancouver and have a hybrid work environment with 3-4 days a week in office.

You:
You will bring the following education, skills and experience to the role:

• 2+ years Product Manager experience ideally within retail or a related technical environment
• Strong business-facing communication skills, with demonstrated ability to present to stakeholders, run alignment sessions, and simplify technical or data concepts for non-technical audiences
• Working knowledge of how data flows between connected systems and tools (e.g., VibeIQ, Illustrator, Anaplan), without requiring a highly technical background
• Background in merchandising, design, or regional merchandising (a strong asset for both roles, with regional merch experience especially valuable for the assortment modernization role, and digital product creation experience a nice-to-have for the global merch/design role)

Compensation:
This role pays between $65-75 per hour.
