About the position

We're launching a new e-commerce vertical for home — within QIC digital hub and are looking for a Product Owner who can take this from 0→1: someone who's seen how this space works at scale and can bring both the playbook and the judgment to adapt it to our context.

Responsibilities

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for the Home vertical end-to-end, from concept through launch and scale

• Define the MVP, prioritize features, and drive fast iteration cycles based on user and market feedback

• Build the business case: market sizing, unit economics, monetisation model, competitive positioning

• Work cross-functionally with engineering, design, marketing, and commercial/partnerships teams to ship

• Set up and own key product metrics (conversion, GMV, retention, listing quality, etc.) and report against them

• Identify and manage strategic partnerships (developers, agencies, banks/mortgage providers, if relevant)

• Build and eventually lead a small team as the vertical matures

Requirements

• 3-5+ years in product management or product strategy, ideally with direct experience in real estate/home e-commerce or classifieds

• Track record of launching a product or vertical from scratch

• Strong commercial and analytical instincts — comfortable building a business case and reading unit economics

• High ownership and drive — genuinely energised by ambiguity and building something new, not just executing a defined roadmap

• Sound judgment and stakeholder maturity — able to hold their own with senior leadership and cross-functional teams

• Excellent communication skills in English
