Senior Product Manager, Ecomm

What You'll Do

Avalara is an amazing place to build your career because we tackle complex, global compliance challenges and turn them into seamless, intuitive experiences that help businesses of all sizes thrive. Selling online used to mean managing sales tax in one state, but today, small online sellers can owe tax in dozens of states with different rules and rates. Our dedicated Micro and Emerging Business organization serves these growing customers with simple, self-serve experiences that make tax compliance automatic.

As Senior Product Manager, E-commerce, you will own the product-led growth motion for online sellers. You will join a fast-moving team, including a dedicated front-end pod, a senior UX designer, and a growth team, to help sellers discover Avalara through the platforms they already use. You will focus on creating a high-value customer experience that helps sellers understand their tax exposure, connect their store, and see the product's value instantly. This role reports to the Head of Product, Micro and Emerging Business, and is ideally based in Seattle, WA. #LI-Remote
