Director, Product Management - Search & Discovery
TLDR
Lead the Search and Discovery Product team to redefine the search experience using AI/ML, optimizing user journeys for millions of daily customers.
The Search and Discovery Product Team is responsible for creating a world class search and discovery shopping experience for our customers, from “intent” based shopping to delighting the customer with serendipitous product discovery on every visit.
We are obsessed with optimizing the entire search customer journey, from query understanding and search relevance to personalized and category/mission aware search and recommendation experiences. We believe the experience of finding the right fresh groceries delivered to your door the next morning, should be personal and different from shopping for a new laptop or your next pair of jeans. Search and Recommendations drive over 70% of product discovery for our millions of daily customers, so the scale and impact of our work is massive!
With the latest advances in AI/ML, we have the opportunity to rethink the traditional search stack to deliver unique high-quality experiences to our customers that were traditionally outside the realm of possibility. This Search Product leader will be responsible for a key area of Search within the Search & Discovery org as a senior IC or Tech lead who may mentor some junior PMs along with their own IC scope.
