Product Manager for the Maps Navigation Team

The Yandex Maps team develops Yandex Navigation in more than 30 countries.

What tasks await you

Improve navigation quality in countries You will be responsible for developing and maintaining high-quality data for navigation in B2C products Maps and Navigator, as well as in integrated Yandex services: Taxi, Delivery, Food and others — in all markets of presence. This includes ensuring quality metrics monitoring, handling user feedback, and coordinating with cartography teams.

Develop navigation scenarios in international markets You will ensure the development and localization of three key scenarios in the B2C product for all international markets. Key scenarios: car navigation with traffic jams and alternative routes, public transport navigation with schedules and transfers, and pedestrian navigation with pedestrian zones and landmarks.

Launch country-specific features You will need to identify and launch features for growing the Maps audience, adapted for specific countries, for example integrations with local services and local POIs. In addition, you will establish regular interaction with Taxi, Delivery, Food teams and stakeholders from other services to synchronize roadmaps and prioritize tasks.

We expect that you

• Have more than three years of product management experience in large B2C products
• Can build constructive relationships with stakeholders
• Feel confident in uncertain conditions: you can quickly understand new contexts, make decisions with incomplete data, and find non-obvious growth points
• Are capable of being productive with limited resources: you focus on what truly changes the experience for millions of users, choose the most effective solutions, and see them through to completion without excessive complexity
• Are results-oriented, not process-oriented: you can formulate measurable goals, choose the shortest path to achieving them, and achieve a noticeable effect for users and the business, even if it requires reassembling the approach or abandoning initial decisions
• Have proficiency in Russian and English at a level sufficient for work discussions, analytics, and correspondence

It will be a plus

• Have experience working with navigation products
