About the Job

Today, over 10,000 merchants from 100 countries use Syncio to sync inventory across their expansion stores, retail partners, and marketplaces. We believe that collaboration is at the heart of commerce, shareable inventory supercharges collaboration, and ultimately creates a more egalitarian world.

Syncio is looking for a ‘Product Growth Manager’ to work directly with the Founder to build and grow the collaborative commerce ecosystem.

You will be influential across all areas of the business.
Why join Syncio
We are building the next frontier of commerce; a new category called Collaborative Commerce. We believe that the best type of commerce is through collaboration, and this has been demonstrated through the history of civilisation. Think bazaars, marketplaces, even the ancient Silk Road.
Syncio enables collaboration by making the basic building blocks of commerce shareable across webstores. Think inventory, orders, product attributes, all the key information required for retail to operate. This allows merchants to create its own micro-marketplaces, become a super-distributor, expand globally, etc. We believe that the potential of collaboration will take us places unimaginable today.
In any given month, Syncio helps merchants sync USD $100M+ of order value for over 10K+ merchant stores across 100 countries globally. These are big numbers. And this is just the beginning.
