Job Description
Yassir, the Maghreb region's leading super app operating across multiple cities in Africa and expanding internationally, is hiring a Senior Product Manager - Machine Learning. Backed by substantial global funding, the company provides on-demand services such as ride-hailing and last-mile delivery, alongside emerging digital financial services. In this fully remote role, the individual will take ownership of the predictive and decisioning machine learning systems that power core marketplace functions like pricing, matching, forecasting, risk, and personalization.
This position is designed for product professionals who focus on data-intensive, ML-heavy environments rather than solely integrating third-party APIs or conversational LLM features. The successful candidate will drive data-led discovery, frame business problems into solvable machine learning objectives, establish offline and production success metrics, and manage the full model lifecycle. Collaboration will be continuous with data scientists, ML and data engineers, and diverse regional operational partners.
Candidates will balance model accuracy, cost, latency, and fairness while communicating results to non-technical leadership. The organization values data-driven decision-making, mentorship, and rigorous experimentation in two-sided marketplace settings.
Responsibilities
- Identify and size machine learning opportunities through independent data exploration to build a prioritized problem backlog.
- Translate business challenges into structured machine learning tasks by defining prediction targets, unit of analysis, and error costs.
- Establish success metrics linking model performance directly to product and business outcomes, while monitoring guardrails.
- Design and interpret controlled experiments tailored for two-sided marketplaces and apply quasi-experimental methods when needed.
- Manage the complete lifecycle of models from initial framing through deployment, performance tracking, drift detection, and retirement.
- Balance trade-offs among model accuracy, latency, interpretability, cost, and regulatory obligations across multiple international markets.
- Communicate technical outcomes clearly to non-technical stakeholders and align cross-functional teams around shared goals.
- Mentor colleagues and contribute to an organizational culture centered on rigorous data utilization.
Requirements
- Minimum of four years of product management experience.
- At least two years of direct ownership over machine learning driven products running in production and influencing core business decisions.
- Hands-on data fluency including the ability to write SQL and perform independent data analysis.
- Demonstrated background in designing, executing, and interpreting controlled experiments with a working knowledge of causal inference.
- Thorough familiarity with core machine learning principles such as supervised learning, evaluation metrics, overfitting, bias, and calibration.
- Proven track record of launching machine learning products with clearly articulated problem framing, metrics, and measured business impact.
- Experience collaborating with distributed or remote teams spanning multiple geographic markets.
Qualifications
- Prior background in marketplaces, on-demand delivery, mobility, or fintech industries.
- Bachelor of Science or Master of Science degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Data Science, or a related quantitative discipline.
