Online automotive marketplace that uses data and user reviews to help shoppers compare, evaluate, and find great deals on cars.

Product Manager

Our marketplace is only as powerful as the data that fuels it. We are looking for a Product Manager to lead the Inventory Platform, a vital asset which powers our comprehensive, real-time view of the millions of vehicles for sale.

You aren't just managing a database; you are ensuring our products and our teams have the "gold standard" of truth required to drive consumer engagement and dealer decision making by wrangling the messy world of automotive data. As a Platform PM, your primary customers are our internal product teams, but your job is to build trust with every user. By making our inventory data rich, accurate, and easily accessible, you enable the entire organization to ship features faster—helping dealers make smarter moves and consumers navigate a daunting process with confidence.

Do you have a passion for getting to the heart of what customers are trying to accomplish and how we can help them? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment turning your insights from a vision into reality? Are you excited by the possibilities of how AI can help improve and augment our data like never before? Look no further, we'd love to talk to you about the role.

What You'll Do

  • Define the "Data-as-a-Product" Vision: Own the roadmap for our core inventory platform, delivering data excellence by driving accuracy, detail, and accessibility.
  • Pioneer AI/ML Solutions: Identify opportunities to use AI to improve data normalization, extract hidden vehicle features, and predict missing attributes.
  • Enable Velocity: Your North Star is Speed to Market. Build the APIs, schemas, and self-service tools that allow internal product teams to launch new features without being slowed down by data complexity.
  • Guardian of Trust: Ensure our data is so reliable that it can power a new suite of products with increasingly higher stakes for our dealers, giving them the confidence needed to run their businesses based on our insights.
  • Strategic Collaboration: Partner with Product Management, Engineering, Data Science, and Analytics teams to understand and solve our evolving needs and ensure our data remains a competitive advantage.

What You'll Bring

  • 3+ years of Product Management experience, specifically within platform, data, or automotive product environments.
  • The "Systems Thinker" Mindset: You enjoy the complexity of how a single data point cascades through a massive ecosystem and can predict the second-order effects of your decisions.
  • AI Fluency: You have a working understanding (or deep curiosity) of how LLMs and ML models can be applied to data processing at scale.
  • Internal Customer Obsession: You treat internal developers with the same empathy and rigor that you would an external consumer, striving to make their experience seamless.
  • Clear Communication: You can translate complex data architecture into a compelling vision for executives while speaking the "language of logic" with engineers.
  • Analytical Rigor: Proficiency in analytical and creative problem solving with a focus on data-driven decision-making.
  • Resilience & Autonomy: You thrive in fast-paced environments where the problems are unstructured and the "right" answer requires both data and intuition.
