## Job Description

## What will you do

- Drive 3-5 Year Strategy: Lead the development of long-term product visions that moves SpotHero’s current offerings into new and exciting places.
- Product Growth and Expansion: With an understanding of the company’s competitive position, balance continued growth in areas with proven product-market fit while identifying and developing new product opportunities.
- Lead High Visibility Initiatives: Own high-risk, high-reward "Strategic Bets" that require deep cross-functional coordination, such as major partner integrations or transformative marketplace shifts.
- New Product Innovation: Facilitate discovery for unmet market opportunities. Lead the high growth phase of existing and new products, validating hypotheses through rapid prototyping and experimentation before transitioning them to dedicated squads.
- Influence Without Authority: Serve as a peer-coach to fellow PMs, helping to level up the organization’s overall product craft, documentation standards, and discovery methodologies.
- Executive Evangelism: Act as the primary product voice for your product offerings and expanding adjacencies, translating complex technical roadmaps into clear business impact stories.

## Who you are

- Strategic Architect: Excel at finding clarity in ambiguity and can map out short term and long term roadmaps that anticipate market shifts.
- Master of Discovery: Lead by "design thinking" first. Comfortable running workshops, interviewing customers and stakeholders, and using generative research to kill bad ideas early and double down on winners.
- Prioritizes Business Impact: Evaluates business value and costs when determining which opportunities the team should tackle.
- Systems Thinker: Understand the interlocking nature of a two-sided marketplace.
- Manages Complexity: Make good calls with incomplete information, can hold contradictory inputs without paralysis, and know when to act decisively versus when to slow down and de-risk.
- Mission-Driven: Define and track success metrics aligned with company mission, prioritizing high-impact outcomes informed by market research, data analysis, and business needs.
- Global Mindset: Focus on how the contributions of a single initiative enable success for the entire company, not just one squad.
- Relationship Building: Invest in high-level relationships with executive leadership and external partners to achieve shared goals.

## What you bring

- 5+ years of experience in product management, with a proven track record of launching and scaling success on the consumer side of a marketplace or ecommerce product.
- Hands-on experience shipping and iterating on landing page and search funnels, with a strong grasp of technical SEO (site architecture, schema, performance).
- Expert-level experimentation skills: Deep experience with A/B testing platforms (Optimizely), product analytics (Mixpanel, Looker), and behavioral research.
- Deep analytical skills: Strong proficiency in data visualization tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or Mode) or SQL.
- Technical fluency: Comfortable working with APIs and complex system architectures, and knows how to partner effectively with data science teams to scope, ship, and measure ML-powered features.
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or equivalent professional experience; MBA or technical background preferred.
- Strong communication and storytelling skills — able to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights.
- Experience in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment within a tech company.
- Prior experience with SEO, conversion funnel optimization, and growth levers in a consumer marketplace or ecommerce setting is a strong plus.
