  • A track record of shipping and optimizing shopping journeys such as search, merchandising, product detail pages, forms, checkout, or other high-intent conversion flows, with measurable customer and business outcomes.
  • Practical understanding of mobile user experience, content management systems, technical search engine optimization, page performance, Core Web Vitals, and accessibility, including how these affect discovery and conversion.
  • Experience using qualitative research, web analytics such as Google Analytics 4 or equivalent, event instrumentation, funnel analysis, and A/B testing to make decisions and distinguish meaningful conversion and revenue gains from traffic or click changes.
  • Ability to turn ambiguous customer and business problems into clear requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and delivery plans, while remaining directly involved in product delivery and balancing customer commitments, dependencies, and commercial priorities.
  • Experience working with application programming interfaces, inventory or catalogue data, pricing, and third-party integrations; ability to assess product implications of architecture and data quality and contribute to platform modernization or migration decisions.
  • Experience managing and developing product talent, setting expectations, providing feedback, and managing performance; ability to lead complex cross-functional initiatives, make trade-offs, and communicate with senior leaders and customers.
  • Ability to connect product decisions to adoption, retention, monetization, and cost to serve while balancing end-consumer experience with business-customer needs.

Responsibilities

  • Define the vision, priorities, and roadmap for the Website and Digital Retail portfolio, balancing shopper needs, dealer outcomes, commercial growth, and platform investment.
  • Own shopping journeys spanning inventory search and filtering, vehicle detail pages, payment exploration, trade-ins, financing applications, appointments, deposits, and handoff to dealership teams; reduce friction and abandonment across mobile and desktop.
  • Combine shopper and dealer research, funnel analysis, usability testing, and A/B experiments to validate opportunities and improve qualified leads and shopping-step completion.
  • Gather and validate customer, business, and technical requirements; write user stories, acceptance criteria, and process flows; maintain a prioritized backlog; partner with Engineering, Design, and QA through refinement, planning, testing, release readiness, and post-launch validation; resolve requirement gaps and dependencies early.
  • Partner with Engineering and Design to improve website speed, Core Web Vitals, technical SEO, accessibility, and reliability while balancing new capabilities with stability.
  • Evolve content management, merchandising, and configuration for individual dealers, dealer groups, and automotive manufacturers, meeting program requirements through reusable capabilities.
  • Partner across inventory, pricing, incentives, customer relationship management, marketplace, and financing integrations to deliver accurate information and a consistent shopping journey.
  • Guide product consolidation, phased launches, and dealer migrations while protecting customer experience, search visibility, lead delivery, and reporting continuity.
  • Define and track conversion, lead quality, adoption, retention, recurring revenue, and operating efficiency; partner with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success on packaging, launch readiness, and expansion.
  • Set clear responsibilities and expectations for the product team, coach team members, review their work, and manage performance and development.
  • Align cross-functional teams and communicate priorities, trade-offs, risks, and progress to executives, customers, and partners.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in automotive retail, digital retailing, marketplaces, or B2B2C software as a service, or supporting multiple customer websites, brands, or enterprise partner requirements.
  • Experience with WordPress or other content management system platforms, configurable website components, and migrations that preserve search engine optimization and customer workflows.
  • Experience delivering and evaluating artificial intelligence capabilities in search, recommendations, personalization, or content with clear evidence of customer value, and comfort using AI tools in product work.
