About this role
The Discovery pillar's mission is to make it easy and delightful for retailers to find brands and products their customers will love. This role will own development of our algorithms powering search, the largest discovery surface by order volume.
This role sits at the intersection of data science, marketplace strategy, and execution. You'll work closely with a world-class data science team to define goals, drive analytical clarity, and maintain the execution velocity that lets us keep improving these systems.
This is not a traditional PM role. We are looking for someone with deep analytical DNA — from a strategy & analytics, quantitative finance, or data science background. Prior product management experience is not required.
What you'll do
• Develop and execute on a strategy that takes our search algorithms to the next level
• Own a product roadmap for one of our search algorithm areas (such as ranking, retrieval, or query understanding) that is analytically grounded, clearly prioritized, and connected to business outcomes.
• Direct the analytical work of the pod — working alongside dedicated strategy & analytics and data science partners to identify novel opportunities, diagnose root causes of failure modes, interpret outputs, and translate findings into clear priorities
• Build trusted partnerships across ML Platform, Discovery Infrastructure, and adjacent Search and Personalization teams — managing team bandwidth while delivering on shared goals
• Represent the team's strategy and progress to leadership, connecting algorithmic work to marketplace outcomes with analytical confidence.
Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of experience in a highly analytical role — such as strategy & analytics, quantitative finance, applied data science, or hands-on analytical consulting (e.g., economic consulting, or implementation-focused consulting with deep data and modeling work). We are open to candidates without prior product management experience who bring the right analytical depth and business judgment
• Deep comfort working in data — you independently generate insights by
