You will report to our Director Product and work as part of the Domains squad, alongside Engineering, Domain Operations, Sales, Support, Marketing and Finance.

Key responsibilities

- Maintain the integration roadmap, prioritised by domains under management at stake and margin uplift, and measure each migrated TLD's margin against its business case.
- Own the aftermarket product, including reseller tooling that makes it easy for our resellers to list and sell names, and fast, reliable transfers after each sale.
- Own parking monetisation for eligible domains, covering provider performance, page-content standards and reseller revenue share.
- Run our expiring domains program (auctions, drop‑catch, backorders, DAX), within each registry's rules and ICANN policy.
- Act as product owner of the registry automation pipeline: own its requirements, roadmap and quality measurement, agreeing the roadmap with Domain Operations every quarter.
- Support the Director Product and Lead PM on the reseller platform and module roadmaps through discovery and clear specifications for assigned items.
- Equip Sales, Support and Marketing for every integration change, with a changelog, an internal FAQ and a Support briefing for each release.
