Technical Product Owner

About us

Want to create smart marketing automation software that manages thousands of marketing campaigns? Join our team!

ShopForward, founded in 2018, was launched by two experts who combined their knowledge of marketing and development to work on the future of marketing automation. The team has grown significantly and aims to become the leading partner for online marketers and companies aiming for serious growth. With the help of data, over 40,000 campaigns for clients across Europe are automatically updated and managed daily. We work with well-known companies such as Blokker, Sonos, Philips, and Samsung.

As a Technical Product Owner, you will have great freedom and responsibility to take the application to the next level together. You will interact directly with management, marketing, and development departments and become an equal partner. With a team of marketers and developers (around 25 FTE), we manage thousands of marketing campaigns for large and small online stores across Europe. What we don't like: long meetings, internal politics, hustle. What we love: great autonomy, flexibility, rapid implementation of ideas, and good jokes :)

We are growing fast and innovating constantly. Besides ShopForward, this year we are developing a new product, AdSwift, to which we want to make a significant contribution.
