Product Manager, Purchasing

MatHem pioneered and leads online grocery shopping in Sweden. The Swedish grocery market is worth $30B annually and we are going after a large slice of that pie. In comparison, the global music streaming market is worth $19B annually. We are dedicated to creating an outstanding experience for our customers - from planning purchases with your family until the milk is in your fridge. At MatHem you have a rare opportunity to use Tech to put a positive dent in peoples’ lives. The smile on people’s faces when the groceries are handed over is priceless. We create more time for whatever people love - cooking, family time, exercise and work.

We have high ambitions and are undergoing a transformation into a Tech company. We look for strong people with ambition to make a large impact on our customers and our company. You will have all opportunities to do so. MatHem is backed by Kinnevik who has a track record of backing companies who successfully transform industries - from media to telco.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

We’re looking for a product manager to join our Purchasing teams. Purchasing is part of our Operations Domain which ensures that our customers receive the groceries they want in a timely manner. The Operations domain consists of three main areas. The Purchasing Department buys all groceries from our suppliers. The Warehouse department makes sure that all MatHem grocery bags get picked with precision and efficiency. The Distribution Department manages the large fleet of trucks and drivers that brings groceries to your doorstep.

MatHem will lead the way in using technology for operating an online grocery business. There are many new opportunities and challenges to operate Purchasing for an online grocery store compared to traditional offline grocery stores, such as:

• Using new signals from users and prediction models to better manage supply and demand.
• Technical integrations with many different partners to get accurate information faster about the flow of goods.

You will work hands-on with the engineering teams and help scaling the domain. To reach your goals, you will assess whether to build or buy software. You understand how to prioritize on outcome and enjoy having honest priority conversations with stakeholders. You own backlogs and roadmap and work close with the CPO and management team to set the vision, strategy and plan.

The engineering teams you will work with are located in Skövde (Sweden) and Bangalore (India) meaning you need to be comfortable with working with remote teams. You will need to be able to travel to these offices. Your primary location will be our HQ in central Stockholm. You will report to the Chief Product Officer (CPO).

WHO YOU ARE
