Director of Product, Search and Curated Experiences

Overview

Senior, deeply technical product leader to own Search and Curated Experiences at AlphaSense, setting search strategy, owning metrics, and leading a small team including a domain-expert PM for Curated Experiences.

What you'll do

• Own both Search and Curated Experiences: relevance, ranking, query understanding, document-type coverage, filters, latency, and reliability across every surface that depends on search, alongside adoption and engagement of company profiles and future new curated experiences.
• Define the strategy: set and defend a roadmap that balances relevance quality, coverage, and performance against clear business priorities.
• Build evaluation and measurement: stand up the metrics, benchmarks, and experimentation needed to know whether search is getting better, and to prove it.
• Collaborate across teams: partner closely with Knowledge Graph, SuperAnalyst / AI, Engineering, and Design so that search and the experiences built on top of it move together.
• Lead and grow a team: manage and mentor the curated-experiences / domain-expert PM, set clear ownership, and raise the bar for the search org as it grows.
• Execute and deliver: lead the end-to-end product lifecycle from strategy and experimentation through launch, post-launch analysis, and iteration.

What you'll need

• Deeply technical: have built search and relevance systems at scale, e.g. a Google Search-caliber background or equivalent depth in ranking, retrieval, query understanding, and evaluation.
• Can reason fluently about representation, freshness, quality, and system-design tradeoffs.
• Strong ownership and drive: take programs end to end and operate autonomously, setting direction, making the calls, and being accountable for the outcome.
• A people leader: can manage and grow PMs, set clear lines of ownership, and resolve ambiguity rather than create it.
• Analytical and data-driven: balance business goals with technical capability and let metrics, not opinion, settle questions of search quality.
• Strong customer orientation: understand how sophisticated users search and form conviction, and use interviews, usability testing, and behavioral data to validate hypotheses.
• Clear communicator: can align engineering, design, and product marketing around a roadmap and gain buy-in to drive high-impact work.

Nice to have

• Direct experience in financial services, capital markets, or with core customers (financial services, corporate strategy, consulting).
