Director of Product, Search and Curated Experiences

About the Role

We are seeking a senior, deeply technical product leader to own Search and Curated Experiences AlphaSense. Search is the front door to a corpus of hundreds of millions of business documents, and the relevance, ranking, document-type coverage, filtering, and performance you own sit underneath every product surface. Curated Experiences define how AlphaSense's content, functionality, and intelligence show up in pre-built experiences that act as a launchpad for our customers' research - everything from company profiles and industry profiles, to monitoring and beyond.

This is a leadership role, not a feature role. You will set the search strategy, own the metrics, and be the person the organization turns to drive impact with both Search and Curated Experiences. You will lead a small team, including a domain-expert for Curated Experiences. We expect you to own these programs end to end, with the judgment, drive, and initiative to take them all the way.

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 are your ownership areas, 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.

Who You Are

• Deeply Technical: You 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. You can reason fluently about representation, freshness, quality, and system-design tradeoffs.
• Strong Ownership & Drive: You take programs end to end and operate autonomously. You set direction, make the calls, and are accountable for the outcome.
• A People Leader: You can manage and grow PMs, set clear lines of ownership, and resolve ambiguity rather than create it.
• Analytical & Data-Driven: You balance business goals with technical capability and let metrics, not opinion, settle questions of search quality.
• Strong Customer Orientation: You understand how sophisticated users search and form conviction, and you use interviews, usability testing, and behavioral data to validate hypotheses.
• Clear Communicator: You can align engineering, design, and product marketing around a roadmap and gain buy-in to drive high-impact work.
• Domain Experience a Plus: Direct experience in financial services, capital markets, or with our core customers (financial services, corporate strategy, consulting) is a plus, but not required.
