Sr Product Manager - Search Experience Algorithms

Sr Product Manager – Search Experience Algorithms

As a Sr Product Manager – Search Experience Algorithms, you will own the algorithmic organization of Search Listing Pages (SLPs)—deciding which modules to show, in what order, and how to personalize the page so the search experience feels elevated and intentional. You will translate style and design priorities into measurable outcomes by orchestrating aisles/deals/new-arrivals modules, optimizing page density and hierarchy, and running disciplined experiments that lift CTR, ATC, and conversion while maintaining enterprise guardrails.

You will partner closely with Ranking/Retrieval, Data Science, Experimentation, UX/Design, Site Merch, SEO, and Platform teams to define the features and signals that power grid module selection and ranking, stand up key-attribute aisles and behavior-driven personalization, and ensure day-one visibility for can't-miss items. Your work will connect style-forward intent to outcomes through repeatable A/B testing and measurement, turning page-level organization into a durable lever for guest delight and business performance.

Responsibilities

• Define strategy & roadmap for Grid Module Ranking and Page-Level Organization across SLPs, aligned to "style-forward" objectives.
• Own module selection & ordering (aisles, deals, new arrivals, brand modules) with clear decision logic and measurable success criteria.
• Lead behavior-driven personalization of page structure using clickstream and engagement signals (segment/session aware).
• Design and run experiments (A/B and approved alternatives) on module mix, placement, density.
• Specify data & features needed for module scoring (e.g., engagement priors, seasonal signals, launch flags, "can't-miss" inventory).
• Partner with Ranking/Retrieval to ensure page-level intent complements product-level relevance; create a feedback loop when key items are missing.
• Operationalize "key-attribute aisles" and similar organizational patterns (e.g., material/fit for apparel) to reduce reformulations and pogo.
• Set and own metrics: CTR/ATC/CVR uplift, reformulation rate, dwell/pogo, layout-level latency, and revenue per search.
• Align with Merch/SEO/Brand on high-priority products and launch placements; ensure day-one visibility of critical items.
• Write crisp specs for engineering and DS; manage trade-offs across latency, cost, and quality.
• Ensure compliance & governance on data usage and personalization.

• Strong collaboration with Data Science/Engineering; ability to translate style/design objectives into algorithmic requirements.
• Experience in shipped page-level organization or module-ranking systems at scale.
• Background working with ranking/reranking, embeddings, or session features.
