BUILD THE DECISION LAYER FOR SHOPPING.
We’re building AI agents that help retailers understand what shoppers want—and help people discover, compare, and choose products with confidence.
Join a small, experienced team working closely with global brands and retailers to rethink commerce for the AI era.
The team you’ll join
Small team. Meaningful voice.
We’re repeat founders with deep roots in ecommerce, technology, and retail, having previously built two venture-backed companies.
At Metto, we work closely with retailers and shoppers, move from conversation to prototype quickly, and challenge ideas openly. As an early team member, you’ll help shape what we build, how we build it, and the company we create together.
How we work
Dream boldly. Build pragmatically.
02
Learn in the real world.
We speak with customers often, turn ambitious ideas into focused MVPs, and use evidence to decide what to improve, scale, or stop.
03
Own the details that matter.
We move with urgency, debate openly, and care deeply about the product decisions that shape trust, usefulness, and adoption.

Founding Product Manager, AI Commerce Agents
Metto is an early-stage AI startup building the decision layer for shopping. Our AI suite turns search, product pages, and shopper questions into personalized guidance—giving retailers a more intelligent way to serve customers across the digital shopping journey.
The difference you’ll make
Metto combines intelligence that reveals shopper demand and friction with an AI shopping experience that helps people discover, compare, and choose products. We’re starting with fashion and beauty, with the ambition to build the decision layer for commerce.
You’ll own product strategy and execution across the shopper and retailer experience. Working closely with the founders, retail partners, engineering, design, customer experience, and marketing, you’ll turn ambitious ideas into focused MVPs, retailer pilots, and scalable products.
This is a role for someone who takes initiative, loves commerce, and wants the ownership to shape bold ideas into useful products.
What you’ll do
- Own Metto’s product vision, strategy, and roadmap across shopper and retailer experiences.
- Work directly with shoppers, brands, and retailers to find high-value problems and translate them into focused features and MVPs.
- Partner across engineering, design, sales, and marketing to shape, ship, and troubleshoot the product.
- Balance customer experience with technical feasibility and business viability.
- Prototype, test, and measure new ideas, using feedback and data to decide what to improve, scale, or stop.
- Ship quickly to learn quickly—without losing sight of the details that build customer trust.
Your expertise
- 5+ years of product management or hands-on product-building experience, with strong ownership and judgment in retail or ecommerce.
- A track record of launching zero-to-one products and turning ambiguous ideas into focused, testable experiences.
- Technical fluency with AI products, including the ability to prototype MVPs.
- A proactive startup mindset: comfortable researching, writing, prototyping, prioritizing, and contributing beyond a traditional PM remit.
- Clear, collaborative communication with founders, engineers, designers, customers, and retailer partners.
Nice to have
- Experience building search, personalization, recommendations, or conversational products.
- Experience at an early-stage startup, on an incubation team, or taking a product from first hypothesis to repeatable adoption.
- Familiarity with retailer catalogs, product information management, ecommerce platforms, merchandising systems, marketplaces, or API integrations.
- Hands-on ability with SQL, analytics, lightweight prototyping, or AI-assisted product development.
- A genuine interest in fashion, beauty, retail, culture, taste, or the psychology of how people choose what to buy.
