FAQs

-
Cornershop PMs face unique challenges in managing a real-time, three-sided marketplace. Unlike traditional e-commerce, our PMs must consider the immediate nature of grocery delivery, local inventory fluctuations, and the need to balance customer expectations with shopper efficiency and retailer partnerships.
-
While deep coding knowledge isn't required, strong data analysis skills are crucial. Proficiency in SQL, Excel, and data visualization tools like Tableau are highly valued. Additionally, understanding of mobile app development processes and API integrations is important given our mobile-first approach.
-
We emphasize a "glocal" approach – global platform with local customization. PMs are expected to work closely with local teams to understand market-specific needs and adapt our core product accordingly. This might involve tailoring the UI for different languages, adjusting pricing strategies, or integrating with local payment methods.
-
PMs often start by owning a specific feature or market, then progress to managing larger product areas or multiple markets. As they advance, they may take on roles leading entire product lines or moving into strategic positions overseeing our expansion into new countries or service offerings.
-
We encourage a "test and learn" culture where PMs are empowered to run experiments and pilot new features in specific markets. However, we also emphasize the importance of operational feasibility. Successful PMs at Cornershop are those who can innovate while considering the real-world constraints of our shoppers, retail partners, and local market conditions.
