Job Description
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As Senior Product Manager for Search & AI Discovery, you will shape how customers find, explore and connect with our digital commerce experience — across traditional search and the next generation of AI-powered discovery. You will lead a cross-functional team focused on building strong technical foundations for discoverability while preparing the business for emerging search experiences, shopping agents and agentic commerce.

Beyond today’s search landscape, you will help define how we show up in AI-powered search, generative discovery and shopping-agent experiences. You will monitor developments from key platforms and partners, translate external change into clear recommendations, and turn emerging opportunities into experiments, product priorities and business impact.
As the digital lead for agentic commerce, you will drive alignment, clarity and adoption across teams. You will make complex SEO and AI-search topics understandable for different audiences, from engineers and specialists to business stakeholders and senior leaders, while balancing long-term direction with practical delivery, experimentation and continuous improvement.
