• Esure end-to-end consistency and trust: Take responsibility for coherence across Web and App, particularly around pricing and value signals, to reinforce confidence throughout the journey.
• Exercise judgment at scale: Operate effectively in ambiguous, high-impact problem spaces, balancing experimentation with conviction to raise quality without slowing momentum.

• Bring 10+ years of Product Management experience, including ownership of large, ambiguous problem spaces in Search, Discovery, and Conversion within a high-volume B2C marketplace.
• Demonstrate a proven ability to translate supply constraints and demand signals into a clear product thesis, making explicit tradeoffs that deliver measurable business impact.
• Possess deep working knowledge of search and ranking systems, with the ability to debate technical tradeoffs with Engineering and Data Science as a peer.
• Lead through influence and horizontal alignment across Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Retention to drive shared outcomes.
