Desirable

• Rover is looking for a Director of Product Management to lead the Provider Product Group inside our Global Provider Organization
• In this role, you will own the product strategy and execution of Rover's multi-year provider roadmap: concentrating investment on our most successful providers while engaging our broader community of caregivers to strengthen marketplace depth and develop a high quality pipeline
• You will lead four product teams working in service to our care providers, improving their experience and how they interact with the marketplace at every stage of their journey
• This is a high-impact role that requires a unique blend of strategic vision and detailed-oriented, hands-on execution
• You will set multi-year product direction and drive rigorous, experiment-led execution
• The role carries direct accountability for supply-side revenue, provider retention, and new-customer booking growth
• This role reports directly to the Senior Director of Supply based in Barcelona, and partners closely with Data Science, Engineering, Design, Trust & Safety, Marketing, Operations, Finance, Legal, and the International Business Team
• As a people leader, you will manage a team of product managers based primarily in Barcelona and coordinate with cross-functional teams across Europe and the US
• Execution is delivered hand-in-hand with cross-functional partners; your job is to define the vision and what good looks like, sequence the bets, hold the alignment, and make sure all investments reinforce each other through excellent execution
• Product Strategy and Vision. Own the multi-year provider product vision: translating Rover's provider strategy into a sequenced product direction and owning the narrative that aligns leadership, product teams, and partners behind it
• Roadmap and execution. Own the product side of the organization's OKRs and the roadmap that delivers them. Ship a steady cadence of well-crafted, experiment-validated launches, landed with quality and followed through after launch until the customer outcome is proven or the outcome is learned
• The voice of the provider. You will be the advocate for what providers actually want and need to grow and run top quality businesses, grounding every roadmap decision in customer research, feedback, and marketplace data, and representing that voice credibly in every executive conversation, including when it's inconvenient
• AI adoption. AI embedded in product features such as assisted tooling, intelligent messaging, personalization and education, as well as fostering AI in how the team works (AI-accelerated discovery, prototyping, execution), while building a culture of AI-native development as the default
• Cross-functional leadership. Hold alignment across Core Product Teams, Design, Engineering, Data Science, Marketing, Operations, Finance, Legal and Trust & Safety, and across regions, so that product investments reinforce each other globally rather than fragmenting by service, brand or country
• A team that sets the bar. Hire, coach and grow a team of product managers who combine judgment, customer centricity, inspiring craft and speed
