United Kingdom, London, England
Remote
Full-time, hybrid role, 3 days per week in Central London office
Up to £70k, FTC - 6 months (June - Dec 2025), with possibility of extension
At Wonderbly, our mission is to connect the world together through our special gift books. We make personalised books that inspire boundless self-belief in children and celebrate love in all kinds of relationships. Our books have allowed over ten million readers to see themselves as the centre of their own stories.
Wonderbly is an award winning brand that operates at the intersection of print-on-demand, personalisation and D2C e-commerce. We have just been nominated for UK Publisher and UK Children’s Publisher of the Year in 2025 by the British book awards, having won the latter in 2021.
We're looking for maternity cover for a Product Manager to join our product team and lead delivery and support product management efforts for our Customer Experience (CX) squad. This team drives improvements to the end-to-end customer journey.
As we’re in the initial stages of defining a core of exciting, new experiences in and around our personalisation and gifting experience, this position would suit someone who has several years experience building and delivering user experiences, ideally within a creative environment. Perhaps you’ve delivered tools for creators before at a company that makes SaaS tools or maybe you’ve worked on other personalisation like experiences — for example photo book creation apps. Bear in mind that we have an accountability for the performance of these new experiences, so you need to be numerate and confident in measuring the impact of your work.
You’ll be working with our commercial stakeholders, as well as design, analysis and engineering teams to discover and ship bold new features that delight and serve the increasingly diverse global customer base shopping for every age, occasion and taste in our personalised book shop at wonderbly.com. As always, we’re hoping to work with someone that is as excited about this challenge as we are.
Whilst much of what we do follows best practices there’s also many elements that make our proposition very unique and thus require fresh thinking across the key product management domains of business, design and technology. A few examples include:
Personalisation. All of our products require customers to interact with our sophisticated personalisation user experiences. This provides many exciting opportunities for innovation and creativity … but also many challenges as we must manage the whole customer journey on our proprietary software platform.
Proprietary products. We only sell products that we design ourselves with our in-house Publishing studios. Again, this creates huge opportunities for collaboration and original ideas … but also challenges around coordination and prioritisation.
Imaginative products. The products we sell and the consumer needs we fulfill are imaginative and creative. This means we have to work hard with our creative colleagues to bring to life the rich value of our books to consumers.
Highly internationalised operations. For our small size we are highly international. We currently support 40 locales, 13 countries, 12 languages, manufacture on four continents and ship to every country in the world. Again, this creates opportunities but also complex coordination and optimisation challenges.
Requirements
Below we’ve outlined some of the things we think you should be able to demonstrate to us in an interview. Please note that this is not an exclusive or exhaustive list.

If we wish to move forward this will include some options for a short phone call with a member of our recruitment team who can answer practical questions around compensation and big picture questions around the company and the role.
If we both choose to move forward after this, the interview process will consist of two to a maximum of three interviews. During these interviews you will meet with members of the Wonderbly technology organisation including cross functional peers and managers. At least one of these interviews will happen in person at the Wonderbly studios in Bloomsbury, London.
