About the position

QIC Market is the car marketplace inside the QIC super app, where people in Qatar buy, sell and value their cars, and where that moment connects directly to insurance, rental and the rest of the QIC ecosystem. We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own this marketplace end to end: supply, demand, the matching between them, and the revenue it generates.

Responsibilities

• Own the Car Market product end to end: strategy, roadmap, discovery, delivery and post launch results, across iOS, Android and web

• Grow both sides of the marketplace: listing supply from private sellers and dealers, and buyer demand, keeping the two in balance by segment, price band and vehicle category

• Own the core marketplace funnel from listing creation and moderation through search, listing view, seller contact and completed deal, and systematically remove drop off at each step

• Define and improve search, filtering and ranking so that buyers find relevant cars quickly and good listings get the exposure they deserve

• Build and improve the seller experience: listing flow, photo upload and AI moderation, listing quality scoring, price guidance and listing performance insights

• Develop pricing and valuation products, including the price checker and car history by chassis number, and expand the data behind them

• Own monetization: paid promotion and featured listings, dealer packages and subscriptions, and lead based models, with clear unit economics

• Drive cross sell between Car Market and the wider QIC ecosystem, in particular motor insurance quotes at the point of purchase, renewals in My Cars, and car rental

• Build relationships with dealers and other supply partners, and define the tooling they need: bulk upload, dealer accounts, inventory management and performance reporting

• Own trust and safety for the marketplace: listing fraud, duplicate and misleading listings, scam prevention and dispute handling, working with Legal and Compliance

• Define the metric tree for the marketplace, set targets, and report performance to leadership on a regular cadence

• Run continuous discovery: user interviews with buyers, private sellers and dealers, usability testing, market and competitor analysis in Qatar and the GCC

• Run a structured experimentation program, from hypothesis to A/B test to rollout decision

• Write clear specs and acceptance criteria, prioritise the backlog, and lead a cross functional squad of engineers, designers, analysts and QA through delivery

• Partner with Marketing on acquisition and lifecycle campaigns, with Data on models and attribution, and with Customer Support on recurring user problems

• Ensure the product works for a bilingual Arabic and English audience and complies with local regulatory and data privacy requirements

Requirements

• 5+ years in product management, including at least 3 years owning a marketplace, classifieds, e-commerce or other two sided consumer product

• Proven ownership of marketplace metrics: liquidity, supply and demand balance, listing to lead and lead to deal conversion, repeat usage and take rate

• Track record of shipping consumer mobile products at scale, with native iOS and Android as the primary surface

• Strong data skills: comfortable writing SQL, working in Amplitude, GA4, Power BI or Tableau, and designing and reading A/B tests without relying on someone else to interpret them

• Hands on discovery practice: user interviews, surveys, usability testing, and the judgement to know which signal to act on

• Experience with monetization of a marketplace: paid placement, subscriptions, lead based pricing or commission, and the unit economics behind them

• Solid understanding of search, ranking and recommendation mechanics, enough to work effectively with engineers and data scientists on them

• Experience working with supply partners or B2B accounts, such as dealers, agents or merchants, and building the tooling they need

• Strong written and spoken English, and the ability to write specs that leave no room for interpretation

• Experience leading cross functional squads in a fully remote, distributed and multicultural environment

• Commercial thinking: able to build a business case, defend a roadmap trade off with numbers, and present to executives

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to have

• Experience in automotive, classifieds, marketplaces or insurtech

• Experience with the GCC or MENA market, especially Qatar, and an understanding of local buyer behaviour

• Arabic language skills

• Familiarity with motor insurance products and the quote to purchase journey

• Experience with AI driven features such as content moderation, pricing models or recommendations
