Faire is a technology wholesale platform connecting independent retailers globally with brands and products. The Discovery pillar's core mission is to make it easy and delightful for retailers to find products their customers will love.
In this Staff Product Manager role, you will own product development of the algorithms powering search—the largest discovery surface—with a specific focus on search ranking. You'll develop and execute a strategy to take the search experience to the next level through ranking algorithmic iterations. You'll own a product roadmap for Search Ranking that is analytically grounded, clearly prioritized, and connected to business outcomes.
Key responsibilities include:
- Develop and execute a strategy that takes search experience to the next level via ranking algorithmic iterations
- Own a product roadmap for Search Ranking that is analytically grounded, clearly prioritized, and connected to business outcomes
- Direct the analytical work of the pod—working alongside a dedicated strategy & analytics partner to identify novel opportunities, diagnose root causes of failure modes, interpret outputs, and translate findings into actionable insight
- Determine the right sequencing of opportunities, including when to invest in technical/foundational work that unlocks future gains versus near-term order volume delivery
- Define and refine the metrics that give the team a clear picture of Search Ranking performance and the retailer experience
- Build trusted partnerships across ML Platform, Discovery Infrastructure, and adjacent Search teams, managing team bandwidth while delivering on shared goals
- Represent the team's strategy and progress to leadership
You'll work closely with a world-class data science team and need enough technical fluency to engage credibly with their work even as they drive the technical execution.
Faire was founded in 2017 by early product and engineering leads from Square. The company is backed by top investors including Y Combinator, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Forerunner Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, and DST Global. Headquarters are in San Francisco and Kitchener-Waterloo, with global offices in Toronto, London, and New York.
Hybrid employees go into the office 3 days per week (Tuesdays, Thursdays, and a flex day) with flexibility to work remotely up to 4 weeks per year.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
- 7+ years of product management experience, including direct ownership of search or ranking systems, ideally at a marketplace or e-commerce company
- Strong prioritization instincts—a track record of identifying the highest-impact opportunities and sequencing them, balancing near-term wins against longer-term technical investment
- Technical fluency—comfortable engaging with technical white papers and holding informed conversations with engineering and data science counterparts, even while relying on them to drive execution
- Execution rigor across complex, multi-dependency work
