Lead DS Product Manager for the Monetization Efficiency Team

About the Team

The Monetization Efficiency unit is focused on creating ML/Data products within Avito's monetization team. One of our key focuses is building tools for promoting listings in search results and the recommendation feed. We aim to build promotion products that will significantly grow sellers' businesses while not degrading the quality of Avito for buyers. To achieve this, we create traffic distribution mechanisms based on ad auctions, train ML models to predict the probability of target actions, and build ML-based products for seller promotion, as well as develop forecasting and recommendation tools for promotion products.

Examples of future tasks:

• Improve the efficiency of the auto-bidding algorithm - a product aimed at helping sellers promote their listings in search results;
• Develop, test, and implement new algorithms for the operation of promotion products with a budget for professional sellers on Avito;
• Support the launch of new tools and promotion products for professional Avito users;
• Organize work within a team consisting of developers, analysts, and data scientists.

It would be great if you:

• Have at least 3 years of experience in a product manager role;
• Understand analytics and machine learning and have experience working on complex algorithmic products;
• Can turn your ideas into a clear plan and organize cross-team work around it;
• Are able to clearly, transparently, and convincingly formulate a product development vision (it is important to be able to do this both verbally and in writing);
• Understand how search, recommender systems, and ad auctions work;
• A big plus would be if you have a background as an analyst/DS/backend engineer.
