Our mission is to empower fashion shoppers in making informed choices and assist fashion partners in reaching their ideal audience as the leading destination for every fashion shopper.
The Role
We are in search of a technically proficient Product Manager to spearhead our Affiliate Operations product team and act as the primary liaison for our collaboration with ZOZO’s Data Science team in New Zealand. As part of the ZOZO group, this role will closely collaborate with R&D teams to transform research into actionable product-data enhancements.
Your responsibilities will include ensuring the quality, reliability, and discoverability of the world’s largest product catalog, which drives discovery and commerce across Lyst.

You will be the lead contact for ZOZO’s Data Science department, conducting regular meetings, defining joint milestones, and translating data science research into production-ready work at Lyst. Together, you will fast-track product merging and enrichment while ensuring that tools are ready for production.
This position is highly cross-functional and strategic: if you thrive in a technical environment, have experience in launching data products, and enjoy managing a data science partnership to achieve measurable business outcomes, this role is tailored for you.
