Job Title: Product Lead, Vendor Ops

Location: Ikoyi, Lagos (Hybrid)

Job Description

As the Product Lead, Vendor Ops at Chowdeck, you will own the products and workflows our vendors rely on to run their businesses with us, and the tools our teams use to keep live operations running smoothly. This covers vendor onboarding and management, business tools, order operations, Ads, wallets and other vendor financial workflows, all with the right financial, risk and compliance controls in place. This role sits where product, operations and revenue meet. You will need to understand how work actually happens on the ground, cut out unnecessary manual steps, and balance commercial growth with vendor trust and order reliability. You will report to the Product Executive and lead a cross-functional product team, coordinating dependencies with other functional teams and working closely with internal and external partners.

Responsibilities

What you will own: The vendor-facing product experience, including the Vendor Business App and Dashboard. Vendor onboarding, store management, catalogue workflows and priority self-service capabilities. Ads product strategy, advertiser value and sustainable monetisation. Vendor wallets, payouts, lending and the financial, risk and compliance controls around them. Product improvements that reduce friction across vendor, rider, agent and live-order operations. Vendor and operational readiness for new cities and countries. In this role you’ll be required to: Set the product strategy and maintain one prioritised roadmap across vendor and operational needs. Spend time with vendors and operations teams to understand where product gaps create manual work, delays or lost revenue. Grow Ads in partnership with the relevant teams while protecting advertiser value and the customer experience. Work with internal stakeholders and external partners to deliver reliable wallet, payout and lending experiences with the right controls. Lead discovery, scoping, delivery and post-launch improvement with cross-functional partners. Judge impact using adoption, operational effort, order reliability, revenue and partner feedback. Bring clear recommendations when priorities or risks call for a change to the roadmap. What success looks like: Vendors can complete more priority workflows without needing operations or engineering to step in. The Vendor Business App and Dashboard become dependable tools vendors come back to again and again. Ads revenue grows without undermining advertiser value or customer trust. Wallet, payout and lending experiences run reliably, with clear permissions and controls. Vendor and live-order problems are spotted early, prioritised consistently and fixed at the root. New-market requirements are documented and delivered without leaving long-term operational workarounds behind.
