We're hiring a Product & Operations Manager at HAYA. ๐ท๏ธ ยฃ40โ55k | Manchester (hybrid)
Haya is modest activewear built for Muslim women. We exist because the gap was too big to ignore, women were layering men's tops just to feel covered at the gym. We're fixing that.
We have 100+ SKUs, multiple suppliers, and a product pipeline that needs to run 12 months ahead.
Right now, the founder is the system. This hire changes that.
Benefits:
- Huge huge career growth opportunity - you will be the first hire for the department and a team will be built around you as we grow
- Real ownership - you'd be building out the system and seeing your works real life effect
- The HAYA mission - if you're someone who shares our values, you can help make a real difference to our community
- Flexible hours - hybrid between WFH & in office (ramadan, eid flexibility)
