Summary

Millions of users depend on Yelp to research, contact, and hire local services professionals. If you’ve ever tried to hire a housecleaner or a plumber, chances are your experience took more time and effort than you wanted. The market for hiring is enormous - $1 trillion in the US alone - but the process is inefficient and largely offline. Yelp is aiming to transform that.

Our team is leading the way to make it easier for homeowners to find and hire local services professionals. We help small businesses get discovered by high intent consumers, have a best in class experience to get hired by those consumers, and have access to new, high value paid products to accelerate their business growth. By focusing on these key areas, our pros are able to grow their businesses and make a living doing what they’re uniquely great at.

We are looking for Senior, Lead, and Principal Product Managers to reimagine the interaction between consumers and service professionals that is largely offline today, and extremely inefficient for all parties.
