- Improve search-to-bid conversion through ranking, filtering, recommendations, and real-time Alt Value pricing context.
- Build and own the experimentation harness, including assignment, logging, guardrails, readouts, and decision rules.
- Run high-velocity tests across onboarding, activation, search, and submission.
- Monitor and address marketplace liquidity and supply-demand balance by analyzing submission volume, listing rate, bid depth, and sell-through.
- Build product solutions to fix imbalances by card category, price tier, and seller segment.
- Develop a short quarterly plan tied to submission volume, buyer conversion, and time-to-liquidity.
- Maintain a weekly record of shipped changes and communicate trade-offs to the CEO.
