Product Manager (Mobile App)

(0-1, Greenfield, Native App, Retail/eCommerce/Subscription)

• £450-£500 pd
• Outside IR35
• 9 months initially
• Remote first, hybrid

The context My client are midway through a migration to Shopify. As part of this evolution, they are designing and building their mobile app from scratch. The current app is essentially a mobile extension of their website: shopping-focused and functional. They intend for the new app to be something more ambitious: a place where customers feel genuine connection to the brand, products and suppliers of the products they sell.

Alongside the app, there is a need to define the community vision for the Shopify website, so this role starts broader than just mobile, and narrows into a clear app strategy from there.

The role

This is a zero-to-one product leadership role. You'll join a few months ahead of the team, giving you the space to do the discovery and strategic work properly before the build begins.

In the early months you'll:

• Define the community strategy across platforms - what does community look like on the website and in the app?
• Shape the app vision in close collaboration with design, product, tech, and stakeholders
• Lead stakeholder alignment across a business that will have strong opinions and a lot of enthusiasm

Once the entire team is in place, you'll:

• Partner with app designers and engineers to create a detailed build and roll-out plan
• Lead the team through delivery

This is a high-profile project that the whole business will want to be part of. You'll need to channel that energy well - keeping stakeholders engaged and aligned without losing momentum.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience taking a consumer app from zero to one - you've owned vision, led discovery, and shipped
• Background in eCommerce, with experience in businesses with community, loyalty, or subscription models
• Strong stakeholder management skills - comfortable leading without authority, aligning people across functions
• Fast-paced and collaborative - we move quickly, and we need someone who thrives in that environment
• Commercially minded, genuine customer empathy; able to get under the skin of our customers and strategy

The opportunity

A blank canvas, a passionate customer base, a business that genuinely cares about the relationship it has with its customers - and a product that has the potential to become the heartbeat of the brand and company experience. If you're someone who gets excited by building something meaningful from scratch, this is the role for you.
