Marketplace Product Manager

Angkas’ mission is to eradicate poverty in the Philippines by providing opportunities for its bikers to create a source of livelihood that impacts their family and their communities. 

The Marketplace Product Manager will be responsible for driving high-velocity experimentation, platform optimization, and scalable growth initiatives across a large-scale two-sided marketplace. This role requires a highly hands-on, execution-oriented product leader with deep intuition for marketplace dynamics, strong analytical rigor, and the ability to operate independently in fast-moving environments.

This is a pure consumer marketplace role. Candidates with primarily B2B, enterprise, or internal tooling product backgrounds will not be considered.

What you’ll be doing:

1. Growth & Optimization

• Lead high-velocity platform optimizations across acquisition, activation, engagement, and retention funnels.
• Design, execute, and iterate on multiple growth bets in parallel, balancing speed, impact, and learning.
• Apply strong product intuition to quickly assess what will work vs. what will not, backed by data and experimentation.
• Drive geospatial and temporal optimizations, including demand-supply balancing, dynamic marketplace tuning, and time-based interventions.

2. Marketplace Expertise

• Own and optimize critical mechanics of a two-sided marketplace platform operating at millions of users and transactions scale.
• Deeply understand rider-driver (or equivalent) incentives, pricing, constraints, behaviors, and failure modes.
• Continuously identify friction points and inefficiencies across the platform and translate them into actionable product solutions and experiments.

3. Execution & Delivery

• Operate in a hands-on, highly execution-focused manner: define problems, validate solutions, ship fast, and iterate.
• Independently troubleshoot issues across product, data, and system behavior, driving rapid resolution.
• Ship fast, learn fast, and continuously improve through experimentation and post-mortem analysis.
• Maintain a strong bias toward action, while applying deep analytical thinking when decisions require rigor.

4. Stakeholder Management & Collaboration

• Partner closely with Engineering to define technically feasible, scalable, and performant solutions.
• Collaborate with Data Science / Analytics to design experiments, interpret results, and drive data-informed decisions.
• Work cross-functionally with Operations, Marketing, Finance, and Business Teams to align growth initiatives with operational realities and business goals.
• Clearly communicate experimentation and optimization strategy, trade-offs, and outcomes to senior leadership and key stakeholders.
• Act as the single-threaded owner for growth initiatives, driving alignment and accountability across teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or other technical/scientific disciplines (Master's degree preferred).
• At least 5+ years of a combined product management experience in a technology-driven company, preferably in the transportation or mobility sector with: 
• Minimum 2+ years of proven success as Growth PM or equivalent role.
• Demonstrated experience running large-scale platform growth initiatives within a two-sided consumer marketplace.
• Deep familiarity with experimentation frameworks, A/B testing, Switchback testing, funnel analysis, and causal inference.
• Experience with APIs, microservices architecture, and backend systems
• Geospatial and temporal optimization techniques

Specialized skills:

1. High-velocity experimentation and growth execution
2. Skillful in owning growth P&L considerations and ROI-based prioritization
3. Extremely hands-on, self-driven, and fast-moving
4. Comfortable operating in ambiguity with minimal oversight
5. Strong ownership mindset with a relentless focus on outcomes
