Senior Product Manager – Search (d/f/m)

We are looking for a consumer‑obsessed, outcome‑driven Senior Product Manager to lead the evolution of our Search experience across mobile.de. In this role, you will take ownership of how millions of users discover the right vehicle, using modern AI capabilities, user insights, experimentation, and cross‑functional leadership.You’ll work closely with engineering, design, data science, analytics, and other product teams to ensure that Search is fast, intuitive, relevant, and continually improving for consumers on both web and native apps.You will also act as a senior voice on the team, mentoring less experienced PMs and helping shape best practices across the product organisation. You will be expected to independently shape product strategy, not just execute against it. 6+ years of product management experience, ideally working on consumer-facing search, marketplace, large-scale platform, or AI-driven products. Comfortable working with AI technologies, curious about applying them to improve products or your productivity, motivated to leverage emerging capabilities, and able to collaborate naturally with DS/ML partners. Strong understanding of consumer-centric frameworks (e.g., Jobs To Be Done, opportunity sizing, experience mapping) to shape product direction. Advanced analytical skills: you go beyond interpreting dashboards and can independently design measurement frameworks and influence how the team defines success. You are hands-on in self-serve insight generation. Experienced in experimentation (A/B testing) and data-driven decision-making. Proven track record of leading complex cross-functional teams without formal authority, including navigating organisational ambiguity at scale. Excellent communication and influencing skills; you regularly communicate with senior leadership and are trusted to represent the product area independently. Strong ability to balance consumer needs, technical feasibility, and business impact. Experience in marketplaces, e‑commerce, large‑scale platforms, or automotive tech is a plus. Define, own, and drive the product roadmap for Search across all platforms, aligned with consumer needs and business goals. Deeply understand consumer behavior through frameworks like Jobs To Be Done, user research, and analytics to identify opportunities to dramatically improve search relevance, usability, and satisfaction. Partner with Data Science, ML, and Engineering to enhance and explore AI/LLM‑powered features such as smart suggestions and conversational search experiences. Drive measurable improvements in key metrics such as search‑to‑lead conversion, visits, engagement, and consumer satisfaction. Systematically use A/B testing to validate hypotheses and measure consumer and business impact. Actively align with and influence other Product Managers — including acting as an informal lead on cross-PM initiatives. Identify and prioritise high‑impact improvements by combining data insights, qualitative feedback, competitive research, and market trends. Own stakeholder communication end-to-end, proactively managing up to senior leadership and driving strategic alignment across teams. Lead a cross‑functional team of engineers, data scientists, ML specialists, and designers responsible for delivering an excellent Search experience on both web and native apps. Contribute to shaping product processes and best practices within the broader product organisation. Working at mobile.de comes with its perks!
