  • Navigate complex trade-offs between user experience, privacy principles, technical constraints, and revenue outcomes in a rapidly shifting search landscape.
  • Contribute to quarterly and annual planning, identifying risks, opportunities, and long-term strategic initiatives.

What you'll bring:
  • 5+ years of product management experience, including ownership of revenue-impacting and user-facing product areas.
