Product Owner
At Vaan we're looking for a Product Owner to join our team.

Product Owner
E-COMMERCE PRODUCT OWNER
About Vaan:
We build commerce engines.
We're a design and engineering studio. That’s our difference.
We're not a 360 agency.
We're not a marketing agency.
We're a remote only, asynchronous first company.
Our e-commerce stores are designed and built to give our clients a technical edge over their competition. To do this, we synthesize business requirements, UX requirements, marketing requirements, technology requirements and creative requirements into a single digital shopping experience built for our clients and their consumers – a commerce engine. Our technology becomes the foundation upon which businesses scale their operations, escalate their marketing efforts, and grow their sales. The value of our work is defined by how big of a moat our clients’ technology creates between them, their competition, and Amazon.
At Vaan, we specialize in creating highly converting brand-forward websites. Unlike traditional branding agencies or UX shops, we uniquely blend brand and UX to create online experiences that resonate with our clients' audiences. Our brand conversion design approach has earned us a reputation for delivering exceptional results.
