Vancouver, Canada Pearl West Group Full time

ABOUT PEARL WEST

This is an opportunity to join our rapidly growing team in Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. Here at Pearl West we are a rapidly growing business within the e-commerce industry focusing on buying, selling, and launching brands.Over the last few years, we have grown at an average rate of 30% each year. This newly-created position will be an integral part of our team as we embark on the next phase of our growth.

Established in 2018, Pearl West is quickly becoming a leader in offering the industry. Our creative marketing campaigns have quickly earned us brand recognition, and a reputation for being a breath of fresh air in our industry.

We believe that business needs to be innovative and creative in order to thrive, and we think it’s important to provide an exciting and vibrant place to work. Culture is the driving force to our success and feeds into every aspect of what we do.

But we admit we’re not for everyone. We’re successful because we have high standards, work hard, and hire smart people with strong critical thinking skills – people who are honest and confident enough to say “I don’t know – BUT I’ll find out” People whose burning questions during interviews include “How many sick and vacation days do I get?” need not apply. Your time here will be fast and furious and quite the ride. But the rewards are plentiful.

ROLE

Product Research and Development is the driving force of expanding the product catalog for the brand. Determining what products will fit best within the brand while also achieving profit margins is key. Product and keyword research will be used to determine the best products for the brand based on customer search intent. The creation and maintenance of the Product Pipeline is the #1 goal for the Product Development team

This role is both analytical and creative. Data must support your decisions, but creativity is needed to find innovative ways to create new or improve existing product concepts. Intimate knowledge of our customer avatar and the type of brand voice we have is paramount for success.

Product concepts will be validated by our customer avatar through various research methods and working with our Audience Utilization Manager to gain invaluable feedback from actual customers.
