In Short:

We are a team of strategic product leaders who partner with core business functions - from R&D and Design to Sourcing and Supply Chain - to build the platforms and systems that power On’s growth.  As a member of our team, you will have a unique opportunity to drive significant transformation and make a tangible impact on the future of one of the world’s most exciting brands.

Your mission:

As a Senior Product Manager for Sourcing, you will be the go-to person for our supplier-facing technology, revolutionising how we interact with our global network of suppliers. Your mission is to define the vision, strategy, and tech roadmap for our sourcing domain (e.g. supplier onboarding, communications and data management). Your work will directly impact our operational efficiency, supplier relationships, and ability to scale our sourcing capabilities for the future.

Key Responsibilities:

• Contribute to and own the product strategy for a supplier platform. Align teams on the product's goals and purpose, consistently using the strategy to guide daily decisions and priorities.

• Analyse and map existing sourcing and procurement process flows to identify opportunities for significant improvement and re-engineering, ensuring the new platform drives efficiency.

• Partner with principal engineers to ensure the chosen platform aligns with our existing technical infrastructure and long-term architectural vision. You will identify and prioritise technical, functional, and quality issues.

• Work closely with internal teams (Sourcing, product development and product operations) and engage directly with external suppliers to deeply understand their workflows, pain points, and needs. Build trust and healthy cross-functional relationships.

• Translate business needs and user insights into detailed product requirements, functional user stories, and acceptance criteria.

• Own and prioritise the product backlog, breaking down complex problems and demonstrating sound judgment to balance business value, user impact, and technical feasibility.

• Manage the entire product lifecycle from discovery to launch and iteration. Perform iterative validation to ensure quality and drive meaningful business value by linking product goals to company objectives.

• If a "buy" decision is made, lead the evaluation and selection process, managing vendor relationships and overseeing the technical integration.

Your Story 

• You have 5+ years of experience in product management, preferably delivering B2B or enterprise-level software in a technology or e-commerce environment. Experience with supply chain, manufacturing, sourcing, or procurement systems is a strong plus.

• You have a deep understanding of your product domain and master product management concepts. You have a proven ability to prioritise effectively, manage a backlog, and make sound judgments on trade-offs between user needs, business value, and technical effort.

• You possess a strong grasp of technical architecture, APIs, and system integration concepts, enabling you to facilitate productive discussions with engineering and assess vendor solutions.

• You possess a good grasp of the business landscape and have a deep empathy for your users. You consistently ask, "What does the data say?" and use market and research data to make informed decisions.

• You are experienced with agile development methodologies and have a history of working collaboratively and effectively with engineering teams to deliver high-quality products.

• You are a go-to person who can positively influence the strategic direction of your team. You excel at communicating plans, priorities, and progress to stakeholders and can clearly articulate value propositions and trade-offs.

• You are a self-starter with an owner's mindset, who is comfortable setting direction in ambiguity and thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic, "can-do" environment.

• You are a strategic thinker who can connect business goals to technology solutions, balancing long-term vision with short-term, pragmatic execution.

• You must be located or willing to relocate to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and be willing to travel occasionally to our Hanoi office and to our key supplier locations both in and outside of Vietnam.
