[Hiring] Director, Product Management - Search & Match @BOLD

Role Description

We are looking for a Director, Product Management – Search & Match to shape and drive our core algorithm, ranking, discovery, and recommendation product strategies. Reporting to the VP of AI & Platform Products, you will act as a key product and business partner, translating complex data systems into high-impact executive narratives, commercial growth levers, and seamless marketplace experiences. This role requires an experienced leader who blends strong business sense with high-impact executive presentation skills to align senior stakeholders, optimize platform resource allocation, and lead cross-functional product teams.

Search & Match is the core intelligence engine powering our platform’s two-sided marketplace. It drives both sides of the matching equation:

• Enabling job seekers to discover relevant roles (B2C)
• Helping employers and recruiters surface qualified candidates and resumes (B2B)

These intelligent discovery mechanics directly power overall engagement, retention, and enterprise platform adoption.

Our mission is to provide the best-in-class job search tools that drive the best outcomes for job seekers and provide long-term value for our brand. This team works cross-functionally with Engineering, Analytics, Marketing, Design, and Finance to achieve business goals.

Qualifications

• 8–10+ years of experience in product management, with significant experience leading two-sided marketplaces, search engines, recommendation systems, or match platforms.
• Proven Executive Presence: Exceptional presentation and storytelling abilities—able to influence executive leadership, translate complex technical topics into business impact, and drive organizational consensus.
• Strong Business Sense: Deep commercial intuition with the ability to connect algorithmic performance (relevance, precision, candidate conversion) directly to platform health and client retention.
• Two-Sided Marketplace Expertise: Proven track record of balancing dual stakeholder needs—solving for both B2C consumer discovery and B2B enterprise/recruiter search workflows.
• Strategic & Resource Allocation Mastery: Experience shaping functional product strategies, managing engineering trade-offs, and maximizing investment ROI without direct P&L management.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Skilled at building trust and alignment across matrixed organizations, including Data Science, Machine Learning, UX, and Commercial teams.
• People Management Experience: Demonstrated success coaching, mentoring, and leading product managers to drive team growth and operational excellence.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant technical, quantitative, or business field (or equivalent practical experience).

Requirements

• Direct experience presenting strategic roadmaps and performance insights to C-suite executives and board members.
• Background in recruitment technology, two-sided talent marketplaces, resume indexing systems, or professional networking platforms.
• Familiarity with modern AI/ML search paradigms, Large Language Models (LLMs) for semantic matching, or vector search technologies.
• Experience scaling product rituals and decision frameworks within high-growth software organizations.
