Role overview
CarGurus is seeking a Product Manager to join our Consumer team and lead the Results & Refinement experience, one of the most critical and visible touchpoints in our shopper journey. You'll own the search results page (SRP), where millions of users land each month, and help them refine their choices, explore listings, and ultimately connect with the right car.
This role is ideal for a consumer-focused product thinker, someone who obsesses over the details of interaction design, visual presentation, and usability. You'll have the opportunity to enhance how search results are displayed, refine how filters are used, and introduce new features that can help our shoppers find their dream car more easily.
You'll collaborate across Engineering, Design, Analytics, and business stakeholders to evolve both the user experience and the business impact of our results pages.
What you'll do

• Define and execute the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Results & Refinement experience, focusing on the search results page, sorting, filtering, and refinement workflows
• Lead product discovery and innovation to transform and modernize the user experience, focusing on how listings are presented, how users explore and narrow their options, and how the experience performs across platforms
• Partner closely with Design to elevate the visual design, usability, and overall polish of key search experiences
• Relentlessly advocate for the consumer, taking full accountability for how well the experience meets their needs, identify pain points, uncover unmet needs through data and research, and translate those insights into impactful, user-centered product improvements
• Collaborate with Engineering, Analytics, and Data Science to understand user behavior, optimize core interactions, and improve performance across key engagement, conversion, and business metrics
• Balance consumer needs with business goals, ensuring a seamless and valuable experience for both shoppers and our partners
• Use experimentation, research, and analytics to validate ideas, drive iterative improvements, and measure success
• Act as a collaborative connector across teams to align on shared infrastructure, design systems, and end-to-end user flows

What you'll bring

• 3+ years of product management experience, ideally in consumer-facing, marketplace, or e-commerce environments
• A strong sense of ownership and prioritization, with the ability to manage projects of varying scope while making smart trade-offs and focusing on what matters most
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate product decisions, influence without authority, and align cross-functional stakeholders toward a shared goal
• Proven experience collaborating across disciplines, especially with Engineering, Design, and Analytics, to deliver high-quality, data-informed solutions
• A strategic mindset paired with strong execution skills, you thrive at both setting long-term direction and shipping incrementally
• A deep passion for consumer experience and design, with a sharp eye for quality and a high bar for user-facing detail
• Comfort with ambiguity and enjoyment of fast-paced, unstructured environments; you bring curiosity, creativity, and a sense of humor to the work
• Strong analytical skills and a data-first approach to problem solving; you're comfortable diving into metrics, running experiments, and using insights to inform your roadmap
• Bonus: Experience working on search, ranking, or recommendation systems, or building products powered by AI/ML
