We're looking for a driven Product Manager to own the product layer of Salmon's Alternative Distribution business unit — and run it like a startup within a startup.
You'll take a helicopter view across 5–6 tightly connected internal platforms, turning messy operational processes into clean, automated, scalable systems. You'll be hands-on, analytical, and fast — building products that directly move the business needle.
The position is based in Manila, Philippines. We support relocation.
You'll Be Working On
Alternative Distribution — Salmon's network of small partner stores and independent agents across the Philippines. The unit has its own end-to-end journey, and you'll own the product side of it:
Store planning platform — prioritization and sequencing of new location openings
Document verification service — KYC and due diligence for partner onboarding
Visit & first-credit app — the tool agents use to activate a store's first transaction
Partner-facing app — for store owners and their staff, with gamification mechanics, performance leaderboards, and financial incentives (e.g. bonus for 3 credits in a week)
Across all of these, you'll be defining what gets built, why, and in what order — with a dedicated tech team ready to execute.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
Own the product roadmap across the Alternative Distribution platform stack
Gather requirements from sales, ops, analytics, and business leads
Design automated flows and reporting to speed up operations
Run experiments — test different incentive structures, onboarding steps, conversion mechanics
Build internal tooling with the dedicated P&D dev team
Track key metrics; identify and fix what's slowing the business down
Grow your scope as you deliver — new projects, higher complexity, more ownership
Who You Are1.5–3 years of product experience at a strong tech company
Background in operational / internal tooling products — not credit or fintech products specifically
Analytical and data-driven — you don't guess, you measure
Comfortable with ambiguity and a fast-moving environment — you thrive without a perfect spec
Builder mindset: you've improved something real and can tell a clear story about it
English B1+ is enough — you'll be living in Manila, not running English-language standups daily
Nice to have: experience with field operations, agent networks, or distribution systems
What This Role Is (And Isn't)
This is a high-ownership, high-pace role. It's not 9-to-6 at a large corporation. There will be periods where something breaks, a metric needs to move fast, or a launch is on the line — and you'll need to step up. It's also not 70-hour consulting weeks.
What it is: a place where delivering results gets you more responsibility, better projects, and faster career growth — not just in title, but in real scope. As Salmon expands into new markets, people who've proven themselves here will be the ones leading new country teams.
