ABOUT THE ROLE AND OUR TEAM:

The experienced and impact-driven Lead Product Manager, Search (you!) will shape the future of search across The Knot Worldwide’s global ecosystem, spanning marketplace, content, registry, and eCommerce. As part of the Marketplace zone, you’ll lead the vision for a unified, intelligent search experience that helps couples easily find what they need, when they need it – whether it’s a vendor, a veil, or advice on writing vows. You’ll work cross-functionally with teams in the US and Spain and collaborate with engineering, design, and data science to build a cohesive, personalized search layer across products. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role reporting to the VP of Product and driving a key pillar of our future growth strategy. 

RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Set the long-term vision and strategy for TKWW’s cross-platform search experience, encompassing vendor discovery, e-commerce, content, and AI-assisted planning flows
• Define a roadmap for a global, unified search infrastructure and front-end experiences across multiple brands and countries
• Lead development of intelligent, responsive, and personalized search capabilities, including semantic search, LLM-powered query understanding, dynamic filtering, and intent prediction
• Partner with engineering to modernize search architecture and improve performance, relevance, and scalability across structured and unstructured content types
• Experiment relentlessly to improve discoverability and reduce friction for users navigating complex journeys — from finding a photographer to choosing a wedding dress or comparing ceremony traditions.
• Evangelize a vision for search as a central, connective layer in TKWW’s product ecosystem and a key driver of our AI-powered wedding planning future

SUCCESSFUL LEAD PRODUCT MANAGER CANDIDATES HAVE:

• 7+ years of product management experience, including ownership of search or discovery products at scale (marketplaces, eCommerce, media, or AI-first platforms)
• A strong point of view on what’s required to deliver best-in-class search capabilities that serve millions of users
• Expertise in search technologies: semantic search, relevance models, filtering, indexing, information retrieval, and content classification
• Success in building global or multi-language search experiences, including localization and internationalization
• Familiarity with large language models (LLMs), vector search, and AI-driven search assistants is a plus.
• Highly cross-functional, with exceptional collaboration and communication skills — able to partner effectively with engineering, design, marketing, and analytics teams
• Strong analytical foundation; comfortable using A/B testing and experimentation to drive decisions.
• Strategic thinker with a systems mindset — you can connect the dots between long-term architecture and near-term user impact.
• Passionate about helping people make confident, personal decisions — whether it’s booking a vendor or building their dream celebration.
