## About the role

We are building an AI-native local commerce platform that connects consumers with local businesses and services. You will own a local services or local commerce vertical end to end — from zero to one — defining the category strategy, shaping the product, and driving the go-to-market motion that takes it from launch to scale. This is a builder role for someone who has stood up a new vertical at a consumer marketplace and wants to do it again, faster, with AI at the core.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years in product management, with Senior / Lead / Principal / Staff / Group PM scope
- Demonstrated 0→1 launch of a new local services or local commerce vertical at a consumer marketplace — not a single feature, but a category
- Both vertical category depth AND local-platform experience — you have built within a specific category and on a local marketplace (these two together are the bar, not one alone)
- Hands-on go-to-market ownership for a new category launch
- Fluency with marketplace dynamics: two-sided supply/demand, liquidity, pricing, and unit economics
