The Role
Lead a product domain for marketplace and fulfilment platforms, managing a team of PMs and partnering with engineering, operations, and commercial leaders to deliver scalable OMS/WMS integrations, seller tooling, and fulfilment solutions. Set strategy, define APIs and data flows, drive KPIs, and translate complex operations into reusable, reliable product capabilities across regional markets.
Summary Generated by Built In
We’re hiring a Principal Product Manager to own the domain that makes commerce work: the systems that move orders, enable sellers, and power fulfilment across the region.
This is a senior people-lead role. You will manage a team of PMs, set strategic direction for platform and fulfilment capabilities, and partner directly with engineering, operations, and commercial leadership to drive measurable business outcomes.
Responsibilities :
Platform & Marketplace
  • Own the product vision and roadmap for seller-facing and marketplace platform capabilities — Brand Partner tooling, seller portal, catalogue management, and order management systems.
  • Drive platform scalability and governance: ensure new capabilities are designed for reuse, reliability, and long-term maintainability across multiple markets.
  • Define and enforce standards for integrations, APIs, and data flows between internal systems and external partners.
Fulfilment Operations
  • Own platform capabilities supporting fulfillment operations: OWMS integrations, crossdock flows, last-mile handoffs, and returns processing.
  • Translate complex operational workflows into scalable product solutions — reducing manual effort, improving SLA adherence, and enabling new fulfillment models (JIT, FBZ, 3PL).
  • Lead product decisions on fulfillment model design in close collaboration with commercial and operations stakeholders.
Team & Stakeholder Leadership
  • Manage and grow a team of Product Managers; set clear goals, coach on craft, and create accountability for delivery and impact.
  • Engage senior leadership (COO, CTO, VP Operations) to align roadmap priorities with business objectives.
  • Serve as the primary product point of contact for Brand Partners and regional operations teams on platform and fulfillment matters.
  • Drive cross-functional alignment across engineering, data, commercial, and operations — turning ambiguous business needs into clear, executable requirements.
Data-Driven Execution
  • Define KPIs and success metrics for the domain; hold the team accountable to outcomes, not output.
  • Use data, operational analysis, and user research to identify gaps, prioritise improvements, and validate solutions.
  • Foster a culture of experimentation and continuous improvement within your team.
Requirements :
  • 10+ years in product management, with at least 3 years in a senior or principal role; direct experience managing other PMs.
  • Deep domain knowledge in one or more of: marketplace/seller platforms, OMS/WMS systems, e-commerce fulfilment operations, or enterprise operational tooling.
  • Proven track record delivering complex, multi-stakeholder platform products in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong systems thinking: able to navigate technical complexity, understand integrations and data flows, and make sound architectural trade-offs with engineering.
  • Excellent stakeholder management — comfortable influencing without authority, presenting to C-level, and managing expectations across internal and external partners.
  • Familiarity with agile practices: backlog management, sprint planning, cross-team delivery coordination.
  • Experience in Southeast Asian markets is a strong advantage.
  • Location Open to candidates based in Malaysia
