If you’re inspired to dream big, innovate fast, and make a difference, we’d love to hear from you! For more information, visit  www.newsbreak.com/about About the role We are building an AI-native local commerce platform that connects consumers with local businesses and services. You will own a local services or local commerce vertical end to end — from zero to one — defining the category strategy, shaping the product, and driving the go-to-market motion that takes it from launch to scale. This is a builder role for someone who has stood up a new vertical at a consumer marketplace and wants to do it again, faster, with AI at the core. What you'll do Own a local commerce / local services vertical end to end: strategy, roadmap, launch, and growth — including category P&L or GM-style ownership. Take new categories from 0→1: validate demand, define the MVP, launch, and iterate toward product-market fit. Drive go-to-market for category launches — supply acquisition, consumer demand, pricing, and marketplace liquidity. Partner with engineering and data science to embed AI/LLM capabilities into the core consumer and merchant experience. Use marketplace metrics (conversion, liquidity, retention, take rate) to prioritize and to prove impact. What we're looking for 6+ years in product management, with Senior / Lead / Principal / Staff / Group PM scope. Demonstrated 0→1 launch of a new local services or local commerce vertical at a consumer marketplace — not a single feature, but a category. Both vertical category depth AND local-platform experience — you have built within a specific category and on a local marketplace (these two together are the bar, not one alone). Hands-on go-to-market ownership for a new category launch. Fluency with marketplace dynamics: two-sided supply/demand, liquidity, pricing, and unit economics. Nice to have Experience at a US consumer marketplace such as Yelp, DoorDash, Thumbtack, Nextdoor, Instacart, Uber, Grubhub, Angi, or Gopuff. Track record with services-booking or home-services marketplace products. Experience shipping AI/LLM-powered consumer features. Chinese local-life-services background (e.g., Meituan, Dianping) is a plus for our localization work. The US base salary range for this full-time position is listed below. Pay may vary based on a number of factors including job-related skills, level, experience, geographic location and relevant education or training. At NewsBreak, we design our overall rewards package to attract top talents. Depending on the position, the role may also be eligible for discretionary bonus and options. Your recruiter can share more details during the hiring process. Annual Base Pay Range $146,000 — $342,000 USD CPRA Privacy Notice for California Candidates
