## What they're looking for

- Own the Search rebuild end to end, organic and monetized together, from query understanding and retrieval to ranking, result quality, and how the page comes together
- Make the majority of searches work: most queries are a neighbor looking for a post, a person, a place, or an answer, with no commercial intent, and today we fail them too often
- Partner with dedicated data science and ML engineering on query understanding, retrieval, and ranking, going deep on the mechanics when the details matter
- Design how organic and sponsored content blend on the page, including placement, ad load, relevance thresholds, and monetization-eligibility routing, so paid results appear only where a business is the genuine answer
- Grow revenue on the minority of queries with commercial intent, connecting neighbors to local businesses through organic and sponsored placements, with relevance as the guardrail revenue never overrides
- 7+ years of product management experience, including deep ownership of consumer search at scale and clear wins in making it better for users
