Zeelo product managers work closely with commercial and operations teams to identify and create opportunities. They apply a keen commercial understanding and an analytical approach to design innovative solutions with the engineering team which they then manage through development and delivery into customers hands.

Senior Product Managers take full responsibility for defining and delivering a Product Vision. The key goals of the role are to take firm ownership for your assigned business area, creating and delivering innovations that empower our commercial team, support our operational team and amaze our customers.
