Product Management Apex

About the Role

Carvana Apex is a program for early-career opportunities. This role focuses on Product Management within the Apex program.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with engineering, design, and analytics teams to scope projects.
• Write requirements and continually improve the customer experience.
• Handle requirements drafting, feature prioritization, and impact assessments.
• Drive the roadmap to help customers research, buy, sell, and own vehicles, integrating AI.
• Conduct ad hoc analytical deep dives using SQL, CosmosDB, or Splunk to glean insights and surface them to the broader organization.
• Collaborate with Data Science, UX, and Customer Care to embed solutions into unified, conversational journeys.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Working familiarity with LLM product mechanics (e.g., prompting, grounding, and safety concepts).
• Experience with data tools such as SQL, Tableau, or Sigma.
• Exposure to RAG architectures, tool-calling, or agent-based frameworks.

Qualifications

• 0–3 years of experience, ideally in product, analytics, or a related discipline.
• A strong eye for intuitive, delightful UX.
• Genuine curiosity about consumer web and mobile products.
• A roll-up-your-sleeves attitude, a sense of humor, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Application Requirements

• Prepare a 3–5 minute "Apex Pitch" video.
• The video should cover:
• The "Why": Why Carvana, and why join at this specific moment?
• The Track: Why Product Management is the right fit for your skills.
• The Build: Walk through an AI-driven project or solution you’ve personally built.
• Show what you built and explain the thought-process behind specific decisions.
• Detail exactly how AI played a role in building it (planning, writing code, etc.).
• Use a screen-recording tool to walk through prompt creation, documentation, code, or other specific artifacts.
• Focus on creative process and problem-solving steps rather than a product demonstration.

Video Recording & Sharing Recommendations

• Use any tool you like.
• Recommended tools allow viewing your face and screen:
• Loom (Recommended): For "picture-in-picture" recordings.
• Camtasia or Clipchamp: For editing multiple takes.
• Zoom: Use “shared screen with speaker view.”
• Upload your video to a cloud service (YouTube, Google Drive) and set to "Public,” "Unlisted,” or "Anyone with the link can view."
• Test your link in an Incognito or Private browser window before submitting.
