Product Leadership, Value Pillar

Faire • San Francisco, CA

3h • Hybrid

About The Position

Faire is an online wholesale marketplace built on the belief that the future is local — independent retailers around the globe are doing more revenue than Walmart and Amazon combined, but individually, they are small compared to these massive entities. At Faire, we're using the power of tech, data, and machine learning to connect this thriving community of entrepreneurs across the globe. Picture your favorite boutique in town — we help them discover the best products from around the world to sell in their stores. With the right tools and insights, we believe that we can level the playing field so that small businesses everywhere can compete with these big box and e-commerce giants.
By supporting the growth of independent businesses, Faire is driving positive economic impact in local communities, globally. We’re looking for smart, resourceful and passionate people to join us as we power the shop local movement. If you believe in community, come join ours.
Lead and scale Faire’s core value programs — including Faire Source (Fulfilled by Faire), Faire Pay, Insider, and the operational systems that power shipping, risk, and retailer enablement — into durable growth engines that make wholesale buying on Faire simpler, more economical, and more compelling than any alternative.
As the Value Pillar Lead, you will own the product strategy and economic performance of this portfolio — operating with the judgment and discipline of a business line owner while remaining deeply grounded in product craft. You will balance customer experience, adoption, margin, capital efficiency, operational reliability, and risk, ensuring that each program scales with economic discipline and long-term durability.
You’ll build and lead a high-performing team of Product Managers and partner closely with Engineering, Operations, Finance, Risk, Data, Design, and Marketing to evolve and scale these capabilities. You will define the long-term product vision for how value programs and core systems integrate seamlessly into the retailer journey — increasing adoption, strengthening loyalty, and deepening Faire’s position as the preferred platform for wholesale purchasing.
