Senior Product Manager (m|w|d) Search & Recommendation

Good product search does more than return a list of results. It helps people find what they came for, even as expectations change with conversational search. At idealo, you own the on-page search experience from the first query to the moment someone finds the right product. You set its direction and make sure search delivers measurable results for users and the business.

Your responsibilities

• Define and measure search success, then decide where to invest next.

• Shape the search roadmap with engineers, from discovery to release and learning.

• Run A/B tests: form hypotheses, interpret results and apply what you learn.

• Study search queries and gaps. When users find products, you see the result.

• Compare technical search approaches with engineers and choose what fits.

• Explain decisions and findings to stakeholders and keep search goals clear.

Skills & Requirements

Must-have

• Experience with search at scale, including indexing, retrieval and ranking.

• Ability to discuss search technologies and technical trade-offs with engineers.

• You use search metrics to make decisions and communicate clearly in written and spoken English.

• Hands-on A/B testing, from designing experiments to interpreting and applying results.
