About North Spore

North Spore is on a mission to make mushroom cultivation and education accessible to all—indoors and out. From mushroom grow kits and cultivation tools to educational content and scientific expertise, we’re empowering a new generation of growers. Now we’re looking for a Growth PM to lead the next wave of e-commerce expansion.

Role Overview

We're seeking a data- and hypothesis-driven Growth Product Manager to lead North Spore’s e-commerce growth strategy. You will own conversion rate optimization (CRO), site testing, merchandising strategy, and pricing initiatives across our DTC website—and manage a small team executing against those initiatives. This is a cross-functional role that blends product thinking, analytics, and marketing execution to drive measurable growth.

You’ll manage and mentor an E-commerce Manager (focused on site execution, merchandising, and product set-up).

Key Responsibilities

Growth Strategy & Roadmapping

• Develop and own the e-commerce growth roadmap—aligned to North Spore’s goals across AOV, conversion rate, and LTV.
• Build and lead execution of a growth roadmap including all testing and implementation of performant tests
• Identify bottlenecks in the purchase journey and propose experiments to remove friction.

Team Leadership

• Manage, coach, and support an E-commerce Manager.
• Set clear goals and KPIs for the team and ensure alignment with broader growth objectives.
• Foster a culture of ownership, testing, and continuous improvement.

Product Optimization & CRO

• Own website optimization strategy: page layouts, PDP enhancements, bundle logic, variant structures, and upsell paths.
• Partner with design/dev to launch A/B tests and UX updates that improve funnel performance.
• Develop hypotheses based on behavioral data and execute test-and-learn cycles to validate.
• Leverage segmentation and cohort analysis to improve retention and cross-sell effectiveness.

Merchandising & Pricing Strategy

• Analyze product performance to inform pricing changes, kit configurations, and promotions.
• Partner with Product and Inventory teams to identify growth opportunities in the catalog.

Cross-Functional Execution

• Collaborate with marketing, design/dev, customer service, and ops to execute growth experiments.
• Work closely with the Lifecycle manager to integrate lifecycle programs (email/SMS flows, replenishment nudges, loyalty) into the overall growth strategy

You’ll Be Successful If You:

• Think like a product owner—balancing customer experience with business outcomes.
• Are comfortable in spreadsheets and dashboards—and know how to turn data into next steps.
• Spend your free time creating teams of specialized AI agents to execute your vision
• Thrive in test-and-learn environments and know how to run lean experiments quickly.
• Enjoy mentoring and managing others to execute with excellence.
• Are obsessed with optimizing the little details that add up to big growth.

Qualifications:

• 5–8 years of experience in e-commerce growth, product, or performance marketing roles
• At least 1–2 years of experience managing direct reports or leading cross-functional pods
• Proven experience driving DTC growth through experimentation, site optimization, and merchandising
• Strong analytical toolkit: Excel/Sheets, GA4, Looker or similar BI tools
• Familiarity with Shopify (or similar CMS), Klaviyo, and modern marketing stacks
• Bonus: Experience with fungi, food/agriculture, or enthusiast/hobbyist brands
