About the Role
You’ll own the vision and strategy for evolving our matching technology, as well as the rider and driver experiences that support it — driving toward greater optimality, efficiency, and reliability. You’ll be responsible for building both behind-the-scenes matching capabilities and front-end consumer experiences that meet critical customer needs and maximize the value of the marketplace to advance our business goals on:
- Reliability - improve the reliability of reservations, beyond what’s possible in on-demand mobility, to help more riders get where they need to go.
- Efficiency - increase efficiency to provide affordable prices for riders, while maintaining attractive earnings opportunities for drivers.
- Extensibility - design a platform that can easily scale to support new mobility use cases and serve new customer needs.
You’ll track success against these metrics with well-designed experiments and translate these results into measurable impact on top-line growth and bottom-line profitability. Across the product lifecycle, you’ll communicate vision, prioritization, progress, and results to executive leadership and partners across the organization to build and maintain momentum.

- Act as the voice of the customer, understanding and representing rider and driver needs in defining winning product strategy to drive business & user impact.
- Communicate regularly with stakeholders, including Reserve leadership, Ops teams, and other product groups to ensure alignment
