Staff Product Manager

Kindred is a members-only home swapping platform that aims to revolutionize travel accommodation. They are seeking a Staff Product Manager to join their Supply & Inventory team, focusing on enhancing the product experience for members hosting their homes and building lasting hosting habits.

Responsibilities:

• Own the supply-side product experience — driving members to host their homes, add availability, and build lasting hosting habits
• Design product systems that make hosting feel natural, trustworthy, and rewarding — from first home setup all the way to becoming a recurring host
• Go deep on the behavioral and economic drivers of hosting: who hosts, why they host, why they stop, and what moves the needle
• Use AI prototyping tools and rapid experimentation to move fast — build confidence cheaply before committing to big bets
• Rigorously prioritize the highest-leverage supply levers using both quantitative analysis and first principles thinking about human behavior
• Collaborate closely with marketing, data science, design, and operations to drive systemic improvements in hosting supply
• Champion the host's perspective in every product decision — developing a true, empathetic understanding of what it's like to host your personal home

Requirements:

• 8+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time in consumer-facing, high-growth products
• Experience building marketplace or supply-constrained products — you've thought deeply about what drives supply-side behavior and how to move it systematically
• Comfortable with funnel analysis, cohort studies, behavioral analysis, and designing new metrics from scratch
• First principles thinker — you reason from the ground up about what drives human behavior, rather than jumping to analogies or conventional solutions
• Scrappy and resourceful — comfortable with AI tools, prototyping tools, and lightweight experiments to build and test hypotheses quickly
• Operate in ambiguity with a bias for action — you move fast and make good calls with incomplete information
• Have a founder mindset — proactive, high-ownership, not above rolling up your sleeves
• Experience designing incentive structures, behavioral nudges, or habit loops in consumer products
