Trade Me Role Description At Trade Me, we're about connecting Kiwi to create the life they want.

At Trade Me our vision is to be the place where Kiwi look first. We are seeking a customer-focused and strategic Senior Product Manager to define, validate, and spearhead our product strategy in the rapidly growing new homes market.

Balance the optimization of mature products with the innovation of new business lines and monetization strategies. Partner closely with cross-functional Engineering, Sales, and Marketing teams to build digital products customers love. Ruthlessly prioritize initiatives using outcome-focused metrics, transparent success criteria, and agile experimentation.
