Senior Product Manager, Marketplace

• Own the Car Market product end to end: strategy, roadmap, discovery, delivery and post launch results, across iOS, Android and web
• Grow both sides of the marketplace: listing supply from private sellers and dealers, and buyer demand, keeping the two in balance by segment, price band and vehicle category
• Own the core marketplace funnel from listing creation and moderation through search, listing view, seller contact and completed deal, and systematically remove drop off at each step
• Define and improve search, filtering and ranking so that buyers find relevant cars quickly and good listings get the exposure they deserve
• Build and improve the seller experience: listing flow, photo upload and AI moderation, listing quality scoring, price guidance and listing performance insights
• Develop pricing and valuation products, including the price checker and car history by chassis number, and expand the data behind them
• Own monetization: paid promotion and featured listings, dealer packages and subscriptions, and lead based models, with clear unit economics
• Drive cross sell between Car Market and the wider QIC ecosystem, in particular motor insurance quotes at the point of purchase, renewals in My Cars, and car rental
• Build relationships with dealers and other supply partners, and define the tooling they need: bulk upload, dealer accounts, inventory management and performance reporting
• Own trust and safety for the marketplace: listing fraud, duplicate and misleading listings, scam prevention and dispute handling, working with Legal and Compliance
• Define the metric tree for the marketplace, set targets, and report performance to leadership on a regular cadence
• Run continuous discovery: user interviews with buyers, private sellers and dealers, usability testing, market and competitor analysis in Qatar and the GCC
• Run a structured experimentation program, from hypothesis to A/B test to rollout decision
• Write clear specs and acceptance criteria, prioritise the backlog, and lead a cross functional squad of engineers, designers, analysts and QA through delivery
• Partner with Marketing on acquisition and lifecycle campaigns, with Data on models and attribution, and with Customer Support on recurring user problems
• Ensure the product works for a bilingual Arabic and English audience and complies with local regulatory and data privacy requirements
