Your Role

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.

What You’ll Do

Own recommendations strategy and platform direction

  • Define and lead the roadmap for ASOS’s recommendations ecosystem, spanning retrieval, ranking, and orchestration across surfaces
  • Drive towards a unified personalisation system across homepage, PLP, PDP, bag, and CRM
  • Balance short-term commercial optimisation with long-term platform capability building

Deliver high-impact customer experiences

  • Shape how recommendations show up across the shopping journey—ensuring they are intuitive, inspiring, and on-brand
  • Partner closely with Product Design to create experiences that enhance discovery without adding friction
  • Elevate outfit recommendations as a core driver of inspiration and basket building

Lead experimentation and data-driven decision making

  • Define and run rigorous A/B tests and multi-variant experiments to validate ideas and optimise performance
  • 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

Tech @ ASOS

I love working at ASOS in my team because of the great atmosphere. From day one I already felt like being part of the team, everyone is so friendly, approachable and willing to help. It’s the place where you feel trusted and are given the opportunities & time to explore your full potential. As someone who just relocated to London, I also appreciate the international and cultural diverse environment – it’s ok to be whoever you want to be!
As a software engineer with a love for fashion, I feel extremely lucky to be part of a fashion company that priorities technology, innovation and customer experience to the same degree as their clothing.
As someone who left ASOS after 7 years but came back, it speaks volumes how much I love working at ASOS. The obvious reason is the people, not just in Tech but beyond. There's an unspoken respect and authenticity between everyone who works here

We are Customer First

We couldn’t be ASOS without our customers.

Across every behaviour, value, and all that we do, we see everything through our customers’ eyes. That means never taking anything for granted and always zeroing in on every single detail. So we can always bring our best as a team, and our customers can have an amazing experience, every time. 

We are Authentic

We work together to be honest, transparent, and our full authentic selves.

This is our ASOS. Our culture, built on collaboration and togetherness, and supported by what’s real and honest. We know that we win bigger when we win as a diverse team. That means celebrating our differences and using them to help us stand out from the crowd, without losing our authenticity and individuality.

We are Brave

We challenge each other to aim high and reach our potential.

Doing nothing gets us nowhere. We may be proud of everything we’ve done so far, but there’s still so much more to explore. We believe we can always be wiser, faster, stronger, bigger, braver, kinder…so asking ‘why’ isn’t just a question, it’s a necessity. We use our voice to drive us forward, speaking up on the things our people and customers care about and using our curiosity to create possibility. 

We are Creative

We know innovation leads to inspiration – it’s what makes us stronger

Change is in our DNA. By acting fast and staying one step ahead of the curve, we can be a leader, not a follower. But for our products and platform to be innovative, they have to be fuelled by creative passion and a deep understanding of our customers and our people. 

We always Deliver

We couldn’t be excellent without evidence – so whatever we’re doing, we have proof of why we’re doing it.

It takes facts and data to tell our stories and help us make our decisions in the most effective way possible. This means we can do what we say and own what we do, no matter how long it takes us to do it. We aren’t about nonsense ifs, buts and maybes, we’re about creating an ASOS that’s built for future success on delivered success. 

Our Benefits

  • Employee Discount

    The most asked-about benefit! As an ASOSer, you’ll receive an exclusive employee discount. You can also nominate a family member or friend to share your discount with.

  • Pension

    Retirement might not be on your mind right now, but it’s important to prep for it. We offer matched contributions up to 5% to help you save.

  • Private Medical Care scheme

    If you join our Private Medical Care scheme, you’ll get fast and effective access to medical cover. 

  • Bonus

    What we achieve is always a team effort. That’s why we offer a discretionary bonus scheme which rewards you based on our group financial and strategic performance.

  • Celebratory Day!

    Get an extra day off in addition to the 25 days of annual leave you get! Spend it celebrating the big days in life, whether it’s birthdays, cultural holidays, weddings and anything else.

  • Shuttlebus Service (if you're based in our Leavesden office)

    It’s more of a work perk, but we offer a free shuttlebus between Watford station and our office in Leavesden.

  • Sample Sales

    We’ve always got fun things happening in our offices, but the one ASOSers get most excited about is our sample sales. Plus, all proceeds from the sample sale get donated to the ASOS Foundation, which helps our charity partners abroad. 

  • Career Development

    You’ll have the opportunity for personalised learning and in-the-moment experiences to create a dynamic and agile learning environment that empowers you to thrive and excel in your role.

  • Summer Hours

    We finish at 3pm on Fridays in June, July and August!! This perk doesn’t mean a dip in your salary – it just gives you extra freedom to enjoy those summer weekends however you want.

Location

Our HQ in London

Our HQ in Camden was once a cigarette factory – now, the iconic Art Deco building has been completely renovated with spacious office areas, ASOS Studios (where we shoot all our products), beauty rooms and a free gym. There’s also a subsidised canteen and café.
