We are looking for a seasoned Staff Product Manager to own and scale products at the heart of ACV's marketplace — the dealer-to-dealer platform where thousands of vehicles are bought and sold every day.

You are equally comfortable setting long-term direction and rolling up your sleeves on the hard problems, and you bring the judgment and strategic range to build great products that keep pace with our rapidly evolving business.

• Actively and consistently support all efforts to simplify and enhance the customer experience.
• Own the strategy and roadmap for your area of the marketplace, aligning your team behind shared goals and keeping everyone focused on the highest-value work.
• Lead, coach, and grow a team of junior product managers — setting clear expectations, giving regular feedback, and helping each PM level up their craft.
• Architect and scale products that perform reliably as transaction volume, users, and data grow, partnering closely with engineering on the trade-offs that keep the platform fast and dependable.
• Partner with finance and executives to build the business cases and product targets that feed the annual operating plan, and execute against those targets to drive marketplace growth.
• Drive discovery for new marketplace capabilities, and make the build, buy, or partner calls that decide where your team invests.
• Set the standard for product craft on your team, defining how you do AI-native, prototype-led discovery and analytical rigor, and building reusable practices that speed up work across the team.
• Lead go-to-market planning for major launches, defining success criteria and coordinating launch sequencing…
