- Proven experience in a Product Manager role, ideally within a retail, e-commerce, or FMCG/consumer goods environment.
- Experience managing licensed product ranges or brand partnerships is highly desirable.
- Strong commercial acumen, including product costing, margin management and pricing, with the ability to interpret sales and performance data.
