We are looking for a Product manager who has extensive exp in search and Catalog Discovery on a B2B digital Platform.

Job Title:

Search Product Manager

Education:

Bachelor's in computer science

We are seeking an experienced Product Owner to support the delivery of search and catalog discovery capabilities on a B2B digital platform serving professional automotive repair shops and commercial buyers. This is an execution-focused role that sits within the delivery team, partnering with the Discovery PM, engineering architects, and internal product and QA teams to translate roadmap intent into sprint-ready stories, manage the backlog, and ensure high-quality delivery.

The Search PO is the day-to-day delivery anchor for the search and catalog workstream — owning backlog hygiene, story quality, sprint readiness, and stakeholder coordination at the feature level. The ideal candidate is a disciplined, detail-oriented PO who can bridge product intent and engineering execution in a fast-paced Agile environment.

Own and manage the sprint backlog for the search and catalog discovery workstream — covering parts search, vehicle selection, catalog lookup, product listing pages, product detail pages, pricing and availability, part interchange, kits, and stock order workflows.

Break epics and features into well-structured, sprint-ready user stories with clear acceptance criteria, edge cases, and definition of ready and done.

Facilitate backlog grooming sessions with engineering (API and frontend tracks), architects, QA, and internal stakeholders — ensuring stories are technically unambiguous before sprint entry.

Maintain traceability from business requirements through to stories, test cases, and release notes.

Keep the backlog current, prioritized, and aligned to the Discovery PM's roadmap direction at all times.

Work within the team's Agile delivery model — supporting the end-to-end pipeline from story sign-off through technical design, development, integration, testing, and production release.

Track feature progress at the task level across API build, frontend build, integration, QA, and bug-fix cycles. Escalate blockers proactively and without delay.

Support sprint ceremonies — planning, daily standups, reviews, and retrospectives — ensuring the team maintains delivery velocity and transparency.

Coordinate stakeholder touchpoints per feature — ensuring the right reviewers and approvers are engaged at the right stages of the delivery pipeline.

Manage JIRA as the single source of truth — story status, acceptance criteria, defect linkage, and release tracking.

Translate Discovery PM direction into executable delivery items across search and catalog features — parts search, vehicle-based lookup, catalog enrichment, PLP and PDP attributes, pricing and availability, part interchange, kits, and stock order initiation.

Validate acceptance criteria against professional buyer workflows — ensuring stories correctly reflect shop, vehicle, fitment,…
