Product Manager, Consumer

About Autolist:

For most people, shopping for a vehicle is an experience we’d rather forget. Navigating a sea of endless options, spending hours at the dealership and negotiating toe-to-toe with a dealer who does all this every day leaves automotive shoppers feeling exhausted and overwhelmed while hopeful, but not sure, they got a vehicle in good condition for a fair price.

Autolist is on a mission to rewire the automotive industry by making it easier for everyone to find and get a vehicle they love. We are creating an on-demand automotive shopping experience for every stage of the automotive life cycle - buying, selling, owning - and we’re well on our way.  As an independent brand and subsidiary of CarGurus (NASDAQ: CARG) we’re a startup within the worldwide category leader in automotive shopping helping millions of monthly users via our award-winning apps and web shopping platforms. Our efforts to streamline the automotive shopping experience is supported by a strong passion to empower people with the knowledge and experience they need for everything automotive, a commitment to equity, inclusion, and belonging, and world-class benefits.

About the Team:

The product and design team is a passionate, highly collaborative, entrepreneurial group dedicated to driving product innovation forward within Autolist and CarGurus. We work closely with engineering, marketing, and business/ops to seek and build solutions to meaningful and difficult problems within the automotive shopping experience. We believe in autonomy, self-motivation, pride of ownership, and team collaboration to help make Autolist and CarGurus the largest automotive marketplace in the world.

About the Automotive Industry:
