Job Description

Digital Product at ASOS

At ASOS, we’re building the future of fashion discovery. Serving millions of customers globally, our product and tech teams power experiences that make shopping intuitive, inspiring, and deeply personal.

Across Search & Discovery, our ambition is to create a journey that feels uniquely tailored to each customer—anticipating needs, surfacing inspiration, and removing friction at every step.

Personalised recommendations sit at the heart of this vision—driving meaningful commercial impact while helping customers discover products and outfits they genuinely love.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager to lead Recommendations & Personalisation at ASOS—owning the evolution of our core recommendations platform and key customer experiences. You will be responsible for:

• Single-item product recommendations (e.g. “People also bought”)
• The core recommendations system powering multiple touchpoints
• Outfit recommendations and AI‑driven styling experiences

Your mission is to build a unified personalisation system that enables true 1:1 customer journeys across ASOS—balancing inspiration, relevance, and commercial outcomes. This is a high-impact, platform-leaning role where you will operate across multiple product teams, shaping both the underlying systems and the customer-facing experiences they enable.

• Elevate outfit recommendations as a core driver of inspiration and basket building

Lead experimentation and data-driven decision making

• Establish clear metrics frameworks (conversion, AOV, engagement, profit) and use them to guide prioritisation
• Drive a culture of evidence-based decision making, balancing online and offline evaluation insights
• Drive improvements in data foundations, observability, and real-time personalisation capabilities

Operate across teams and stakeholders

• Work hand-in-hand with ML teams on recommender systems, ranking models, and personalisation logic
• Translate complex ML capabilities into clear product decisions and measurable outcomes
• Lead across multiple squads, ensuring alignment and coherence across recs experiences and systems
• Partner with Commercial, Trading, Marketing, and CX teams to align business goals with customer value
• Navigate complex trade-offs between revenue, profitability, availability, and experience quality
