The Role

As a Product Manager, Core Experience, you will be fully responsible for managing the foundational SaaS functionality that powers the Sea intelligent marketplace for fixing freight. This includes user management, authentication, legal entity mapping, notifications, navigation, login flows, and the application wrapper—critical components that ensure a seamless, secure, and efficient user experience across our platform.

Your role is pivotal in ensuring that these core services are scalable, intuitive, and enable both internal teams and external users to perform their workflows with minimal friction. While these areas may not always be customer-facing, they are essential to the platform's usability, security, and efficiency.

You will collaborate closely with a product designer and tech lead, driving the roadmap and execution of new development initiatives within the Core Experience team. Additionally, you’ll work alongside other Product Managers responsible for customer-facing products to ensure a consistent and seamless experience across the entire Sea platform.

Understanding our users—both customers and internal teams—is key to this role. You’ll be responsible for gathering insights, prioritizing enhancements, and making informed product decisions that align with business goals while minimizing friction in core workflows. We take a product-led approach to growth, focusing on optimizing time-to-value for every development initiative.

• Ability to synthesize user insights, technical constraints, and business goals into actionable product decisions.
• Excellent communication skills—capable of articulating complex platform topics to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
