At Car Gurus (NASDAQ: CARG), our mission is to give people the power to reach their destination. We started as a small team of developers determined to bring trust and transparency to car shopping.

We have a people-first culture that fosters kindness, collaboration, and innovation, and empowers our Gurus with tools to fuel their career growth. Disrupting a trillion-dollar industry requires fresh and diverse perspectives. Come join us for the ride!

Role overview

Car Gurus is seeking a customer-obsessed, data-driven Product Manager to join our growing Dealer Product team.

Once a dealer acquires a vehicle, a critical set of work is required to get it retail-ready: creating accurate listings, merchandising the vehicle with compelling content, and distributing inventory across the marketplaces and channels where dealers advertise. In this role, you will own the product strategy and experience that empowers auto dealers to optimally move inventory seamlessly from vehicle acquired to retail-ready and advertised.

You will work closely with dealers and cross-functional partners in Engineering, Design, Analytics, Data Science, and Go-To-Market (GTM). Because the inventory managed through our dealer tools directly powers the shopping experience on Car Gurus, you will also collaborate closely with Consumer Product teams to ensure dealer workflows result in complete, accurate, and high-quality listings for shoppers.

We are looking for a PM who excels at navigating ambiguity, turning complex operational workflows into intuitive product experiences, and shaping the future of inventory management at Car Gurus.
