Senior Commercial Product Manager

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Set the objectives that pricing, promotions, and fleet deployment optimize against, from the weekly supply plan to real-time dispatch, so that decisions made in separate systems add up to one commercial plan.
• Partner day to day with Data Science on elasticity estimation, price effects modeling, demand and supply forecasting, supply planning, and marketplace simulation, bringing a clear point of view on what to build.
• Set the priorities for the vertical: size the expected business impact and effort of each initiative with the science and engineering leads, stack rank them, and re-rank each quarter as results come in.
• Drive delivery across the teams that build these systems, managing dependencies, holding the schedule, and escalating early when a date is at risk.
• Design the experiments and simulation studies that gate launches, set ship criteria and guardrail metrics before launch, make the ship call, and write the readout against the sizing that justified the work.

Job requirements

• 8+ years in product management, technical program management, or marketplace strategy roles, including significant time on marketplace products — ride-hail, delivery, travel, or similar — where pricing, incentives,…
• Demonstrated ability to specify an optimization problem in writing: given "we should price better," you can return an objective, its constraints, the data it needs, the guardrails it must respect, and the experiment…
• A track record of driving a roadmap to completion through teams that do not report to you, changing priorities with evidence rather than authority.
• A quantitative foundation: a degree in economics, operations research, statistics, or a similar field, and practical experience applying it — specifying or building models, running experiments, and reading their results.
• Clear writing and presentation skills: PRDs that engineers and scientists can build from, and readouts that leadership can decide on.
• The judgment to know which decisions need a model and which need a defensible heuristic shipped this week, in a business that is standing up its first markets.
• Pricing or revenue management for a capacity-constrained business — airlines, hotels, freight, logistics, or energy — where the asset, not the labor pool, is the constraint.
• Experience taking a pricing, incentives, or fleet management system from zero to production, including the operator tooling, data model, and rollback plan.
