(Senior) Product Manager (m/f/d) Search & Monetization

The role

• You own end-to-end product strategy for Search & Monetization across CTS EVENTIM's global markets, balancing relevance improvements with revenue growth.
• You drive search performance through AI-assisted discovery, ranking optimization, and conversion-focused experimentation—shipping updates that directly impact millions of transactions.
• You build and scale on-site advertising solutions: sponsored listings, promotional modules, and contextual placements that unlock incremental revenue without harming user experience.
• You partner with Engineering, Design, Data, and Commercial teams to execute high-impact initiatives—from evaluating search tech (Elastic/OpenSearch) to running rigorous A/B tests.

What they are looking for

• 5+ years of Product Management on high-traffic B2C platforms with measurable impact on conversion, engagement, or revenue.
• Deep expertise in search systems: relevance algorithms, ranking, retrieval, and how to measure quality.
• Proven track record optimizing commercial KPIs—you've shipped monetization features or revenue-driving products that moved the needle.
• Hands-on with experimentation frameworks, analytics, and data-driven decision-making; you can interpret complex datasets without relying on analysts.
• Experience with ads, sponsored content, or monetization products is valued; search domain expertise is non-negotiable.

What is in it for you

• Lead strategy for one of the world's largest ticketing platforms—your work directly impacts millions of fans and thousands of event organisers globally.
• Work with a mature, high-scale technical team operating Elastic/OpenSearch and AI-driven discovery systems.
• Influence a global business: CTS EVENTIM operates across Europe and beyond, so your decisions touch multiple markets and customer segments.
• Cross-functional ownership: you'll shape product direction, not just execute tactical asks.
