Product Manager, Core Experience

Stora is the operating system for modern self storage. We give operators everything they need to run and grow their business in one platform: online bookings, payments, facility management, reporting, and automation. Every site scales without added complexity.We started as operators ourselves.

That's still how we think. In just over 5 years, we've helped 700+ operators across the globe process more than £150m in automated payments, with customers seeing an average of 32% business growth. We're a fast-moving team ahead of where the industry is going.

If you want to work on a product that operators depend on every day, in a company that's genuinely rethinking how it builds and operates, this is it.Why this role mattersWe have a strong product team, great engineers, and a growing product. The bottleneck isn't ideas or execution capacity. It's people who can hold the full picture at once.What the business needs, what the customer actually experiences, what's technically feasible, what to cut when time is short, and knowing when to slow down.

Making good calls across all of it. That's the job.We've shortened the loop between insight and shipped product by stripping out the layers that slow good judgement down. The quality bar didn't move.

This role exists to keep doing that. It carries real ownership from day one, and the scope grows as Stora does.The surface you'd ownThis is the product operators live in every day, and the storefront their own customers book through. You're designing for two users at once: the operator running the business, and the end customer renting the unit.

Getting that B2B2C experience right is a genuine craft problem. It's a broad, central surface, and it's heavy on UX.Concretely, the surface includes:Core workflows: customers, units, tenancies, accessRoles, permissions, account structureOperational reporting: occupancy, utilisation, activityThe internal data layer: event tracking, core models, metric definitionsThe growth surface: storefront, checkout, the lead → booking funnelIf an operator uses it daily, or relies on it to understand their business, it sits with this team.How we actually workWe've changed how product gets built at Stora. This is how we operate now.Designers work directly in the codebase.

Engineers and product people work closely together from the start. We use AI genuinely: to explore, prototype and move faster. The work gets closer to reality, sooner.If you're at a company that talks about moving faster but runs the same process it did three years ago, this will feel different.

We're not done evolving how we work, and this person will have real scope to shape that.What you'll doOwn a problem space end-to-end, from understanding the customer need to something live in the productWork across both sides of the experience: operator back office and end-customer storefrontWork directly with engineering leads. Close collaboration, not handoffMake scope calls. Know what to cut, what's fundamental, what can waitWork with or without a designer, depending on the problem.

What matters is the outcomeStay close to customers, talk to operators, understand how they run their businesses, bring that into every decisionShape how we work. The process isn't fixed. If something's slowing things down, fix itWhat you'll bringReal product experience at a SaaS company.

You've owned features or problem spaces end-to-end and shipped things people use. Roughly 2+ years, though we care more about the evidence than the numberA builder by instinct. You make things: side projects, tools, a company you tried to start.

We'd rather see someone who ships than someone who only plansYou may have come from design, engineering, or somewhere else entirely. Designers and people who've started their own things tend to do well hereGreat product taste. You can tell the difference between a solution that works and one that just shipsYou don't need everything defined to make progress.

You define it yourselfStrong enough on design to contribute or push back, which matters a lot on a surface this UX-heavyYou use AI as a natural part of how you think and work. Not waiting to be shown howThis role is not for you ifYou need a detailed brief before you can startYou've only ever worked inside someone else's process and haven't shipped anything of your ownYou think good product work stops before it shipsYou go quiet when a problem is ambiguous instead of pushing into itWhat we offerCompetitive salaryShare optionsRemote across the UK & Europe, or hybrid from our Belfast office35 days holidayPrivate health insurance (for you + family)Company pension planApple hardwareLearning & development supportNext stepsWhen you apply, we'll ask for a link to something you've made - a product, a side project, a repo, a tool you built because something annoyed you. It doesn't need to be polished, successful, or related to storage.

We just want to see that you build. Please include one.We're reviewing applications as they come in and will be in touch quickly if it looks like a match.Originally posted on Himalayas
