About Salla
Salla is building the digital backbone of commerce in the region and supports merchants in starting, growing, and scaling their businesses.
Catalog Product Area
Catalog data underpins storefronts, search, recommendations, landing pages, and every channel where merchants sell.
Merchants, freelancers, operations staff, and outsourced agencies may create catalog data, so the product must influence data quality at the point of creation.
Different product categories need different product records, while the platform must scale through configuration rather than separate implementations.
Areas of Impact
- Build a reusable catalog engine and category setup through configuration rather than code.
- Improve product data input, including creation, bulk import, editing, and user entry workflows.
- Own structure and meaning through taxonomies, attributes, variants, identifiers, normalization, and duplicate handling.
- Apply AI enrichment to extract and generate product data with clear confidence, review, and correction policies.
- Improve downstream catalog fitness across search, storefronts, recommendations, and external channel feeds.
Core Responsibilities
- Own catalog strategy, quarterly sequencing, stakeholder alignment, and accountability for promised outcomes.
- Own the roadmap for creating and improving product data, prioritizing downstream usefulness over field counts.
- Design fast and effective workflows for the people who create and manage merchant data.
- Make new categories and configuration changes repeatable and efficient.
- Define which AI outputs are automatic, require approval, or must not be changed, and use corrections to improve the system.
- Define and measure catalog quality based on consuming surfaces.
- Own product data performance and requirements across external selling channels.
- Set the balance between imposed structure and merchant flexibility.
- Lead two to three product managers through ownership, coaching, cadence, and quality standards.
- Work with search and discovery, storefronts, vendors, marketplace, and data teams.
Requirements
- Six or more years of product management experience, including a self-serve platform where users created content or data.
- Ownership of a measurable data outcome such as completeness, accuracy, publication time, tool adoption, or downstream performance.
- Evidence of improving what users produce during creation rather than only cleaning data afterward.
- Experience building configurable platforms that serve multiple use cases and understanding the trade-offs involved.
- Production AI experience with structured data, including confidence thresholds, error rates, automation decisions, and large-scale error handling.
- Understanding of taxonomies, attribute schemas, variants, identifiers, matching, deduplication, and external channel requirements.
- Experience coaching product managers and readiness to lead a small team while staying close to product craft.
- Full professional fluency in Arabic and English is required.
- Merchant context in the region is preferred.
- Willingness to relocate to Saudi Arabia and work on-site.
