- Partner with Data Science on elasticity, demand and supply forecasting, and marketplace simulation

- Drive delivery across teams, managing dependencies and escalating schedule risks early
- Design experiments and simulation studies that gate launches, set ship criteria, and write readouts

- Propose changes to live pricing and fleet levers and present lever performance to leadership
Required qualifications
- 8+ years in product management, technical program management, or marketplace strategy
- Significant time on marketplace products such as ride-hail, delivery, travel, or similar, where pricing, incentives, matching, or supply planning was the product
- Ability to specify an optimization problem in writing, including objective, constraints, data, guardrails, and validating experiment
- Track record of driving a roadmap through teams that do not report to you
- Degree in economics, operations research, statistics, or a similar field, with practical experience specifying or building models, running experiments, and reading results
- Clear writing and presentation skills for PRDs and leadership readouts
- Judgment to know which decisions need a model and which need a defensible heuristic shipped quickly
Nice to have
- Pricing or revenue management for a capacity-constrained business such as airlines, hotels, freight, logistics, or energy
- Experience taking a pricing, incentives, or fleet management system from zero to production
- Deep technical grounding from graduate study in economics, operations research, statistics, or machine learning
