Job description

We are looking for a Platform Product Manager who will lead the evolution of Setapp’s vendor ecosystem, empowering external developers and software creators to distribute their products seamlessly. You will own the end-to-end journey for vendors - from optimizing onboarding timelines and build verification flows to pioneering modern developer workflows.

In this role, you will:

  • Own and drive the end-to-end product strategy for the vendor ecosystem and developer experience.
  • Lead the creation and evolution of modern vendor tools and web interfaces to streamline onboarding, asset distribution, and build verification flows.
  • Optimize the time-to-publish metric to help vendors seamlessly move through security, legal, and operational checks in days instead of weeks.
  • Innovate on developer workflows by exploring agentic and LLM-driven interactions alongside traditional administration tools.
  • Act as an internal advocate for vendors by aligning priorities across engineering, business development, marketing, legal, and security teams.
  • Define clear success metrics, manage cross-team deliverables, and make data-informed decisions to continuously boost vendor engagement., * We are a Ukrainian company, and we stand with Ukraine against the russian aggression
  • We maintain workplaces for the mobilized Macpawians and provide financial support to colleagues or their families affected by the war. Here, you can also read about the MacPaw Foundation, which intends to help save the lives of Ukrainian defenders and provide relief to as many civilians as possible.
  • We are committed to our veterans
  • Our Veteran Career and Empowerment Program is designed to ensure our veterans and active military personnel receive the recognition, support, and opportunities they deserve.
  • Hybrid work model
  • Whether to work remotely or at the hub is entirely up to you. If you decide to mix it, our Kyiv office, which works as a coworking space, is open around the clock. The office is supplied with UPS and Starlink for an uninterrupted work process.
  • Your health always comes first
  • We guarantee medical insurance starting on your first working month. For those abroad, you can receive a yearly Medical insurance allowance as compensation for managing your medical expenses.
  • Flexible working hours
  • You can choose a schedule that is comfortable for you. No one here tracks your clock in/out because MacPaw is built on trust and cooperation.
  • Space to grow both professionally and personally
  • Education opportunities to grow both hard and soft skills, annual development reviews, and internal community.
  • Teams we are proud of
  • We build honest, transparent, and reliable relationships within teams. Every Macpawian can improve processes and implement their ideas. We encourage open and constructive feedback and provide training for Macpawians on giving and receiving feedback.
  • Office designed for people (and pets)
  • Our office has it all: a spacious workplace with enough room for sitting up, lying down, and running around; a gym for recreation; cozy kitchens; a sleeping/meditation room; and a terrace with a view where we throw summer parties. Also, we have two cats living in the office.
  • Time-off policy that covers life’s needs
  • Convenient personal time-off policy to help you take care of essential matters in your personal life, and parental leaves. On top of all that, sabbaticals are open after 5 years of being with MacPaw.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of product management experience across B2C or B2B segments with a focus on platforms, SaaS infrastructure, or developer-facing tooling.
