Gear Product Manager

This isn't a conventional car company. We're a new global brand that focuses on the need of the connected generation, sustainability, and a hassle-free customer experience.

At Lynk & Co, we know that everything’s better when we move forward together. We’re working towards achieving equal gender representation at all levels of the company, as well as building a diverse team where everyone is respected, empowered, and celebrated. We’re not the kind of company we want to be yet, that’s why we’re looking for people that will challenge us and hold us accountable.
In short, no matter who you are or where you come from: if you’re good at what you do, then we want you.

Gear Product Manager
Lynk & Co is launching across Europe and we’re opening physical locations (we call them clubs) in major cities, a tour of pop-ups as well as an online store. We’re not another car company, and this won’t be another car showroom.

Gear is a staple of the Lynk & Co experience. In short: it’s pretty much everything we sell that isn’t cars or services. We’re talking much more than merch - there will be no novelty mugs or badly branded tee-shirts here. We want to give our members a unique retail experience of high-quality items, whether that’s fashion, furniture, books, micro-mobility or something we haven’t yet thought of.

Our goal is to curate a collection of sustainable products from local and international creatives and as Gear Product Manager you will be key in making this happen.

The position can be based in Gothenburg or Amsterdam and reports to the Head of Gear, located in Gothenburg.

What you'll do

- Shape the Gear portfolio strategy
- Scout and connect Lynk & Co with strong like-minded brands
- Carry out commercial negotiations to land contracts with partners
- Plan what brands and products to be sold where and secure sales readiness in new and existing sales channels
- Align with internal stakeholders to maximize potential of partnerships through various activations


What you should be

- Experienced in retail and product or license management of a lifestyle brand. If you’ve worked in purchasing in this area that’s also a plus
- Engaging and inspiring. You know how to sell yourself and our brand
- Professional and able to manage and nurture positive relationships with both external partners and internal stakeholders
- Proactive and a problem solver; I.e. you see what needs to be done and you do it
- Organized and good at structuring your work, even when things get busy. We move fast so you’ll need to enjoy that type of environment
- Fluent in English. Additional European languages such as Dutch/German/Spanish/Italian/French are also beneficial


What we offer

Sure, we have all the basics in place like pension and insurances, wellness allowance, and flexibility in where and when you work. But that's not the reason you choose us… You want to work with us because you will:

- Be part of a global and diverse team, with teammates from over 26 countries and a 50/50 gender split
- Be part of a fun work culture with high team spirit. People really enjoy their teams and get along well with their teammates.
- Be part of creating something new that has never been done before. The pace is fast and it is never boring!
- Get the best of both worlds: a start-up atmosphere with the support of an established organization
- Make a difference. We're a lean team with a flat hierarchy, so every contribution has a direct impact


Working for Lynk & Co

We're not into strict hierarchy, but we do like collaboration, creativity, and people who challenge norms. We've cultivated a culture of personal development and role growth. If you're an original thinker who values being open, personal, and challenging, then you'll fit right in. In general, we think that imagination is just as important as expertise, and instinct can be as valuable as experience.

Sounds good? Well, then we want to hear from you.
