Omnea•London

OUR MISSION At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved. We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility. The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it. We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for. Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels.

In the past year we’ve grown revenue 5x, tripled our customer base, and maintained >99% retention with enterprises like Spotify, Wise, Albertsons, Adecco, and McAfee.

You’ll keep a keen eye on business value and will constantly make trade-offs when prioritising growth vs improvements, clearly articulating your research, opinions and decision-making process * Product process: You’ll be responsible for the entire product development lifecycle from discovery to launch, ensuring we are delivering high-quality features on time. This includes working closely with our Engineering Leaders in managing, prioritising and maintaining the product backlog.

Senior Product Manager, Retail

Deliveroo•London - The River Building HQ

Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation and growth drive everything we do. Our Product team defines how millions of people experience Deliveroo, turning complex marketplace challenges into simple, high-impact solutions. Working at the intersection of data, design and engineering, we set direction, prioritise what matters most, and deliver outcomes that move the business forward. We’re looking for a Product Manager to join our London team. This is a hybrid role. In this role, you’ll help us define and build purpose-built, highly differentiated shopping experiences across our growing portfolio of Retail categories. WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING You’ll be joining the Retail Categories team. Retail only wins category by category; a single, generic shopping experience cannot do justice to the unique ways people buy apparel, auto parts, or home improvement goods. This role owns the end-to-end category shopping experience for a defined portfolio, transforming broad customer promises into shipped surfaces and distinct emotional hooks that drive habitual buying behavior. Here’s what your day-to-day might look like: * Define Category Strategy: Formulate the category experience strategy and decide which categories and bets to invest in first, sequencing for maximum growth and impact. * Execute Signature Product Bets: Translate each category's promise into concrete, testable product bets—such as personal-shopper features using doorstep returns for Apparel or fitment-accurate part lookup for Auto Parts—and ship them end to end. * Optimise Category Surfaces: Own the category merchandising and storefront surfaces that differentiate one vertical from another while maintaining a cohesive and intuitive Retail experience. * Leverage Platform Capabilities: Partner with shared platform infrastructure (such as doorstep returns or fulfillment) to build bespoke category experiences without rebuilding core infrastructure. * Drive Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner deeply with BD, Sales, Catalog, and Search teams to ensure category surfaces are powered by accurate data and align cleanly with merchant relationships. * Measure Impact: Use data, customer insight, and experimentation to prioritise initiatives, define success metrics, and directly move the needle on conversion and repeat purchases. WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO THRIVE ESSENTIAL * Proven Consumer Product Experience: Demonstrated success in product management on consumer-facing products, ideally within e-commerce, marketplaces, or multi-sided platforms. * Track Record of 0-to-1 Innovation: Proven ability to ship brand-new or highly differentiated shopping experiences, navigating ambiguity to break broad opportunities into focused, testable bets. * Strong Analytical Capabilities: Comfort driving data-informed prioritisation, establishing robust success metrics, and utilising experimentation to measure category-level impact. * Stakeholder & Business Partnership: Experience partnering closely with cross-functional product teams (Engineering, Design, Analytics) as well as commercial teams like BD and Sales to align business needs with product strategy. * Customer-Obsessed Product Instinct: A natural intuition for customer behaviour, understanding what makes a shopping experience feel right and how to design the emotional hook that drives retention. NICE TO HAVE * Specialised Retail Domain Knowledge: Prior experience working with merchandising, category management, product detail pages (PDP), or specialised shopping flows. * Data Structure Familiarity: Experience working alongside Catalog or Search product areas to power front-end surfaces with complex item data. WHY JOIN US? At Deliveroo, you’ll do work that matters, solving real-world problems in a three-sided marketplace that’s constantly evolving. We’re food lovers, problem solvers, community builders and more, brought together by a shared drive to make things better. Working here you can expect to: * 🔧 Solve meaningful problems at real scale Work on a complex, always-on marketplace that impacts millions every day. * 🌱 See your impact, fast Ship, test and improve ideas quickly in a low-hierarchy, high-ownership environment. * 🧠 Grow through challenge and ownership Take on big, ambiguous problems and accelerate your career with strong support. * 🌎 A culture built for builders High standards, collaboration, flexible working and continuous learning. * 💰 Share in the success you help create Competitive salary and equity options, so you’re rewarded for the impact you make. ➡️ Want a deeper look at how we build? Check out our Tech Blog. We aim to create a fair process that lets your skills shine—our interview typically includes 3-4 stages. Find more about how we hire here. OUR GLOBAL STRUCTURE Deliveroo is now part of DoorDash, bringing together teams with even greater reach, scale, and ambition. Depending on your role, you may collaborate with teammates, systems, and leaders across DoorDash and Wolt. Together, we’re unlocking new possibilities as one global team. DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION At Deliveroo, we know that a great workplace reflects the world around us and that true diversity and inclusion make us stronger, more creative, and better at what we do. We’re committed to fostering an environment where everyone can do their best work and feel they belong. We believe in equality of opportunity and welcome candidates from all backgrounds regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion, or belief. If you have a disability or long-term health condition and need support to apply for one of our roles, or require any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, you’ll have the opportunity to let us know once you’ve submitted your application. We’ll share details on how to request support so we can ensure you have a fair and equitable experience. If you’re excited about making a real impact in a fast-moving marketplace and growing your career alongside ambitious, supportive teams, we’d love to hear from you!

Senior Product Manager - Snowflake CoWork

Snowflake•CA-Menlo Park

At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done. We are hiring a Senior Product Manager for our CoWork team. Snowflake CoWork is how enterprises interact with their data through AI — instead of writing queries or navigating dashboards, business users ask questions in plain language and get answers, visualizations, and insights. We believe the most important battle in AI right now is the context layer, and Snowflake is positioned to win it. This is a hands-on, 0→1 building role on a small, high-velocity team: you'll own how people actually reach and use CoWork — in Slack, Microsoft Teams, and on mobile — surfaces that are largely unbuilt today. There's no playbook for what "CoWork in Slack" should be; figuring that out and driving it forward with engineering is the job. AS A SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL: * Build new product surfaces from scratch — define and ship what CoWork should be in Slack, Teams, and on mobile/iOS. These are blank-page problems where you bring the thinking, strategy, and execution to invent experiences no one has built yet. * Go deep technically — reason through how each surface ties into the complex matrix of user roles, privileges, data access, and agents. Partner closely with engineering and get into the architecture, not from the sidelines. * Drive execution in ambiguity — operate without a defined playbook, hold together the many moving parts of an early-stage product, make calls, and push things forward. * Expand enterprise adoption — help take CoWork from a small cohort of power users inside the world's biggest companies to the rest of their organizations, using these new surfaces as the avenue. * Partner cross-functionally — work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering, design, and product leadership to ship integrated experiences and influence the roadmap. * Engage directly with customers — understand how real business users work and translate that understanding into product, building genuine credibility with the people you're building for. OUR IDEAL SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER WILL HAVE: * 5+ years of product management experience, or equivalent experience in engineering, data, or a related technical field * A track record of building with AI, not just consuming it — has taken a real problem and shipped a system to solve it (personal projects count as much as professional ones, e.g. a system that triages bugs and maps them to conversation volume, or a workflow that preps for meetings by running notes against a model) * Technical depth — can reason about systems, APIs, and agents and hold their own in architecture discussions * An entrepreneurial mindset and comfort with ambiguity — structures messy problems and has a strong bias to action * Strong product sense — knows what makes software good, when to cut scope, and how to drive decisions * A fast-learning orientation — has ramped quickly on unfamiliar domains and turned that into real output * A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a technical/analytical field, or equivalent practical experience BONUS POINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING: * An engineering or deeply technical background — you can read and reason about code and systems * Side projects or independently built tools that solve real problems with AI * Experience building agentic or LLM-powered products * A trusted referral from someone we know and respect WHY JOIN OUR COWORK TEAM AT SNOWFLAKE? CoWork brings Snowflake to every employee in an organization — not just data teams. You'll join a small, high-velocity team at the frontier of how enterprises put AI to work, owning surfaces that don't exist yet and shaping what they become. We index on raw talent and learning velocity over years of experience or a specific résumé — direct experience in our exact problem space is not required. If you thrive on blank-page problems and want to define a category rather than optimize an existing one, this is the seat. How do you want to make your impact? Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data. Snowflake employees must abide by the company’s data security plan as an essential part of their duties. It is every employee's duty to keep customer information secure and confidential. Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake. How do you want to make your impact?
