We are a young, dynamic, hyper-growth company looking for smart, creative, hard-working people with integrity to join us. We offer a market-related, Total Remuneration Package which allows full flexibility according to your needs, a great work environment, and a promise that you won’t be bored as long as you are prepared for a challenge and want to build something great.

- Grow : Expand your career in the fast-growing Takealot Group: takealot.com and Mr D. We like to promote from within: Here’s your chance.
The Storefront Digital Experience team is at the core of our eCommerce platform, responsible for shaping and optimizing the full customer journey—from the homepage through discovery, consideration, and checkout, all the way to post-purchase interactions. We own and evolve key experience surfaces including search, navigation, product detail pages, cart, and checkout. By working cross-functionally, we aim to create seamless, intuitive, and high-performing digital experiences that drive engagement, satisfaction, and sustainable business growth.
As a Product Analyst , you’ll be functionally embedded within this team, acting as a strategic thought partner to product managers, designers, and engineers.

This is a high-impact role where your work will directly influence product direction, help prioritize what matters most, and shape how millions of customers interact with our platform every day.
We work in truly cross-functional product teams , where product, design, engineering, and analytics collaborate closely to solve meaningful customer problems and deliver measurable value. Product analytics plays a foundational role in this model—bringing clarity to complexity, surfacing opportunities through data, and enabling teams to move with confidence. We believe that the best product decisions come from the intersection of customer insight, business impact, and analytical rigor —and in this role, you’ll be at the center of enabling that vision.
This position reports to the BI Manager.

As a pivotal analytical partner , you will work closely with product managers and engineers to shape innovative features and technologies that elevate the customer experience and drive measurable impact.

Your insights will directly influence roadmap priorities, product iteration, and long-term strategy.
- Driving Product Innovation : Serve as the primary analytical counterpart to product teams, contributing critical insights that inform the development of cutting-edge features and help shape the future of our digital experience.

- Defining Success : Design clear, scalable performance frameworks and KPIs that enable teams to track progress, evaluate product outcomes, and align efforts across disciplines.
- Scaling Experimentation : Build and champion experimentation frameworks, methodologies, and tools that empower product teams to test hypotheses rigorously and iterate with confidence.
