- Experience in vendor or service-based discovery flows (e.g., filtering, reviews, comparisons, booking) and related infrastructure
- Familiarity with AI-powered recommendations, personalization, or discovery experiences is a plus
- Highly cross-functional, with exceptional collaboration and communication skills — able to partner effectively with engineering, design, marketing, and analytics teams
- Strong analytical foundation; comfortable using A/B testing and experimentation to drive decisions
