Overview

Wayfair is looking for a Senior Product Manager for Page Ranking & Orchestration to lead the evolution of our dynamic storefront. This is a high-impact role where you will define the "brain" behind Wayfair’s digital real estate. You will own the dynamic page construction model and drive the Dynamic Search Results Page (DSRP) experience to ensure that every search query results in a balanced mix of products, content modules, and navigational aids tailored to the user’s intent.

What You’ll Do

  • Master the Page Ranking Logic: Own the ranking and arbitration logic that determines the optimal sequence of modules (e.g., product grids, "Shop the Look" bundles, video feeds, and SEO content) sitewide.
  • Architect Dynamic Page Construction: Define the framework for how our frontend "orchestrator" assembles pages, moving Wayfair toward a headless, modular architecture where the layout adapts dynamically to the shopper's journey stage.
  • Revolutionize the Search Experience: Lead the strategy for Dynamic Search Results Pages, balancing traditional product conversion with "discovery modules" to make results both functional and inspirational.
  • Lead Multi-Objective Optimization: Collaborate with Data Science to build reward functions that balance goals such as short-term conversion, long-term brand affinity, and category discovery within a single page view.
  • Scale the Orchestration Platform: Partner with Engineering to build low-latency systems capable of millisecond-level decisions on which UI components to render for millions of concurrent users.

We Are a Match Because You Have

  • 7+ Years in Product Management: Proven track record in high-scale e-commerce or marketplace environments, specifically focusing on ranking systems, feed optimization, or search/discovery.
  • Modular Product Mindset: You build platforms where the output is a set of rules and models that govern a dynamic UI.
  • Deep Technical Fluency: Strong understanding of learning-to-rank (LTR) frameworks, reinforcement learning, and how APIs interact with a dynamic frontend orchestrator.
  • The "DSRP" Specialist: You understand that a search page is a curated experience and know how to use query intent to trigger different page layouts (e.g., "Inspirational" vs. "Replenishment" layouts).
  • Algorithmic Empathy: You translate a "cluttered" page into a data problem and a "boring" page into a ranking opportunity while considering user cognitive load.

Key Success Indicators

  • Module Efficiency: Improve Revenue Per Visit (RPV) and engagement metrics for non-product modules within the page stack.
  • Orchestration Accuracy: Reduce dead ends or irrelevant module placements on high-traffic surfaces such as Search and the Homepage.
  • Layout Diversity: Successfully deploy automated layout variations that outperform legacy templates.
  • Search Discovery Lift: Increase add-to-cart rates from dynamic modules within the search results page.
