Product Manager, Search

Locations: Los Angeles/Denver/Remote

OpenTable is a beloved consumer brand (with an NPS of 77), and one of the world’s most successful hyperlocal marketplaces. We connect with tens of thousands of restaurants and with hundreds of millions of diners every year, facilitating billions of dollars in sales.

As a product manager at OpenTable, you’ll be responsible for the product vision and roadmap for search, working closely with data science, search engineering, and our platform teams. You'll have significant influence, and need to work both strategically (figuring out what we’re trying to accomplish and why) and tactically (determining how we’re going to accomplish the goals you’ve set).

We are looking for a person who is hungry to significantly scale a business — not just grow it .01 percent. You've launched successful new consumer-facing products and iterated on them. You've led with influence and rallied other product teams to your cause. You’ve been a force-multiplier for a large engineering team. You’ve successfully managed the trade-offs between technical debt and new features. You've built products in domains where performance matters. You're eager to learn from failures - not just from successes.

• Strongly technical

IDEAL CANDIDATES HAVE:

• Worked on a successful consumer search product, and on many parts of the product: Ranking & relevance, UX, and performance engineering
