What you need
- Proven experience as a product manager working directly on search, recommendation, ranking, or large-scale information retrieval systems, ideally in a marketplace or other two-sided context.
- Deep AI/ML fluency to partner effectively with engineering and data teams on retrieval methods, ranking signals, embeddings, model tuning, and evaluation.
- Track record of owning platform- or infrastructure-level product work, shaping capabilities other teams depended on.
- Demonstrated success leading experimentation and A/B testing programs and using results to inform roadmap and design decisions.
- Ability to translate ambiguous user and business needs into concrete, technically feasible requirements.
- Clear, inclusive communicator who drives cross-functional alignment in fast-paced, technically complex environments.
What you get
- Competitive benefits offered through a partner while establishing the operational hub.
- Opportunities to transition to employment with Upwork once the hub is established, depending on business needs.
- Access to Upwork's resources, culture, and growth opportunities while employed by the partner.
- Eligibility for an annual bonus plan or sales incentive plan and participation in a long-term equity incentive program.
Worth weighing
- The role requires 3 days in the office once the new hub opens, which is expected by Q4 2026.
- Initially employed through a partner, with potential transition to Upwork employment later.
- No specific details on the competitive benefits offered by the partner are provided.
