AI-Driven Ecommerce Search Product Owner

IT Product Owner II
You must be eligible to work in the US without Visa Sponsorship.

ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re building intelligent product search that understands intent, learns from behavior, and gets smarter over time. You’ll partner with a Business Owner who sets the strategic direction—your job is to take that vision and execute: decomposing it into engineering-ready work, keeping the team unblocked, and ensuring every sprint delivers measurable outcomes. You’ll work side-by-side with an ML Architect, Search Architect, and Senior Python Engineers. You don’t need to write the models—but you need to understand them well enough to write sharp requirements and set a clear bar for ‘done.’

WHAT YOU’LL OWN
Backlog & Execution

Internalize Business Owner priorities and translate them into a groomed, estimated, sprint-ready backlog.

Write clear user stories with acceptance criteria; decompose ML features into shippable increments with the Architects.

Run sprint ceremonies, maintain delivery cadence, and shield the team from scope creep.

Discovery & Requirements

Lead discovery with Merchandising, Sales, and Customer Success to surface unmet search needs.

Partner with Architects to validate technical feasibility before committing to sprint scope.

Escalate prioritization conflicts to the Business Owner with clear options—not just problems.

Experimentation & Measurement

Partner with the Business Owner to define success criteria and relevance KPIs for A/B experiments (CTR, zero-result rate, NDCG, conversion-from-search).

Coordinate instrumentation with engineering and surface experiment results to the Business Owner in clear, actionable terms.

WHAT YOU BRING
Required

3-5 years product ownership experience; including 2+ years on a search, AI, or ML product in ecommerce.

Proven ability to execute alongside a Business Owner—translating strategy into backlogs without owning the vision.

Familiarity with ecommerce search patterns: faceting, query understanding, merchandising rules, relevance tuning.

Experience tracking search KPIs and interpreting A/B experiment results with statistical rigor.

Strong communicator across engineering, data science, and business stakeholders.

Agile/Scrum practitioner comfortable in fast-moving, cross-functional ML teams.

Nice to Have

B2B or industrial ecommerce background; knowledge of ML concepts (embeddings, vector search, reranking, RAG).

Experience with Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, LaunchDarkly, GCP, or product analytics tools (Adobe Analytics, BigQuery).

PHYSICAL DEMANDS
None.

LICENSES & CERTIFICATIONS
None required.

SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITY

BUDGET RESPONSIBILITY
