The Challenge 🧩

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager with expertise in Motors, Automotive Marketplaces, or Vehicle Aggregators to join the team, reporting directly to a Director of Product.

You will own the end-to-end experience for the Motors vertical, identifying product-market fit for new services that cater to both private sellers, buyers and professional car dealers. This is a high-impact role where you will balance the complexity of high-ticket transactions with user simplicity, ensuring that buying or selling a vehicle on Wallapop is transparent, trustworthy, and efficient.

This role requires a blend of industry insight, product vision, and leadership skills to drive initiatives that address the unique challenges of the automotive market. You will work in a cross-functional team, partnering daily with software engineers, designers, data scientists, and stakeholders like marketing, sales (professional accounts), operations, and customer service.

What You Will Do 👇

• Shape the Motors Ecosystem: Contribute to the long-term vision for Wallapop’s automotive category. You’ll prioritize a roadmap that boosts inventory quality, generates high-value leads for professionals, and makes listing a vehicle effortless for everyone.

• Tailor the Experience: Adapt our core marketplace features to meet the unique demands of the automotive world—think specialized search tools, smart vehicle categorization, and intuitive dealer management systems.

• Launch New Services: Partner with Operations, Finance, and external partners to design and launch value-added services like vehicle history reports and financing options.

• Experimental Discovery: Use data and experimentation (such as A/B testing) to improve the user journey from the first search to the final contact, reducing uncertainty and improving the quality of every lead.

• User & Market Intelligence: Act as the voice of the customer. You’ll gather insights from buyers, private sellers, and professional dealerships to deeply understand and solve the friction points of online vehicle sales.

• Collaborative Leadership: Guide cross-functional teams through the full product lifecycle, fostering an environment where high-quality features are shipped effectively and collaboratively.

• Evaluate Performance: Keep a pulse on product health and user feedback to drive continuous improvements and service excellence.

• Stay Curious: Keep up with automotive trends—from the rise of electric vehicles to new digital retail regulations—and advocate for best practices that keep Wallapop ahead of the curve.

What We’re Looking For 🔎

• Product Leadership: Significant experience in Product Management, specifically within automotive marketplaces, motors classifieds, or vehicle aggregators. You have a track record of navigating the unique dynamics of C2C and B2C transactions.

• Market Mastery: You understand the car-buying journey deeply—from how private sellers list their vehicles to how professional dealers use tools like DMS or inventory feeds to reach buyers.

• Technical Collaboration: You are comfortable bridging the gap between product vision and engineering. You can discuss API integrations and system architecture effectively to ensure technical feasibility and scalability.

• Strategic & Analytical Thinking: You enjoy solving complex problems and can use data to back up your decisions. You’re comfortable with data analysis tools and methodologies.

• Collaborative Influence: You have a natural ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence stakeholders at all levels, fostering a culture of transparency and shared goals.

• Language: Fluency in English is required to collaborate with our international team.

What Would Be A Plus 🚀

• Machine Learning Familiarity: Experience or interest in ML concepts, such as price estimation models or recommendation algorithms, to help us provide smarter insights to our users.

• Spanish Language Skills: While our main language is English, Spanish proficiency is a plus
