Role Overview

Role Title: Product Manager (Merchant Platform)

Function: Product

Seniority Level: Mid-Senior level

Employment Type: Full time

About the role

The merchant-side capability — how merchants onboard, how they get matched, how they talk to travellers, how they quote and settle — the thing that decides whether this business can scale. This role owns that capability. We're looking for a PM with real supplier / merchant-platform experience to build/maintain the Merchant Portal, the middle-layer IM system and the supply management stack from the ground up.

What you'll do

• Merchant Portal: Merchant onboarding and qualification review, merchant profile and capability tagging, proposal and quotation tooling, order management, settlement and reconciliation.
• IM Tool: Design and ship the middle-layer IM system — powering traveller ↔ sales agent / merchant conversations with message retention and quality monitoring, detection of risky behaviour and leakage prevention (off-platform deals, agent poaching), multi-channel support (WhatsApp / LINE / WeCom / in-app IM) and per-market localisation.
• Supply & matching: Design merchant tiering and matching logic to route demand to the right merchant or agent; define and enforce response SLAs (e.g. a proposal within 4 hours); manage supply coverage and quality.
• Merchant efficiency metrics: Own response time, proposal turnaround, quote quality, merchant activity and retention — and keep improving them through product.
• Cross-functional delivery: Work with a 5-person engineering team plus BD and OPS; translate the real pain points of merchants and operators into shippable solutions.
• Process abstraction: Break complex, interrelated merchant workflows into multiple specs in a sensible order, with a realistic feel for the engineering effort involved.

What you'll need

• 4+ years (P5) / 5+ years (P6) of B2B / internal-platform product experience.
• Supplier or merchant-side experience is required: you have directly owned a merchant portal, partner portal, supply management system, merchant settlement or merchant operations tooling.
• Experience with IM systems, CS ticketing, SCRM or messaging platforms is a plus.
• Strong process abstraction and modelling: you can structure a messy offline workflow into a scalable, configurable system.
• Risk awareness: you understand the risks a platform carries when it intermediates (data leakage, off-platform transactions, disputes) and can constrain them through product mechanics.
• Data fluency: you can define a B-side efficiency metric framework and analyse it yourself.
• Stakeholder management: you can align BD, OPS, Finance and Legal, find the balance when their needs conflict, and escalate effectively when they can't be reconciled.
• Professional English; comfortable working with merchant teams across Southeast Asia and Japan/Korea.

Nice to have

• Product experience in travel supply chain (DMCs, local operators, outbound agencies).
• Multi-channel messaging integration (WeCom, WhatsApp Business API).
• Experience designing leakage prevention or agent-binding mechanics for a platform.
• Merchant settlement, split payments or multi-currency reconciliation experience.
