Principal Product Manager, Rental Listings

Zillow is a real estate technology company that helps customers navigate buying, selling, financing, and renting. The Principal Product Manager for Rental Listings will own the strategy and product foundation for rental inventory, including sourcing, ingestion, enrichment, quality scoring, coverage growth, and data partnerships. The role will partner with engineering and external partners to build a complete, reliable, and high-quality listings marketplace.

Responsibilities:

• Listing completeness & quality: Raise the depth and quality of listing data across all inventory — pricing transparency, amenities, media richness, and the completeness scores that directly drive renter trust and conversion. You'll define what "great" looks like and build the system that gets inventory there at scale
• Coverage & inventory growth: Grow the breadth and depth of rental inventory on Zillow across property types and sourcing channels
• Data & content partnerships: Source new content partnerships (media, floor plans, review content) and optimize existing feed and aggregator relationships — negotiating, onboarding, and tuning third-party data sources so Zillow has the most comprehensive, highest-quality rental selection anywhere
• Platform reliability & syndication: Partner with engineering to keep the listings pipeline stable, performant, and trustworthy — balancing committed roadmap work against urgent partner escalations, and making disciplined tradeoffs when the two collide

Requirements:

• 10+ years in a Product Management role, with a focus on building consumer-facing technology products. Marketplace and/or e-commerce experience required
• Inventory & marketplace strategy: You think holistically about supply-side strategy — growth, quality, and the flywheel between inventory depth and consumer engagement
• Data quality & systems thinking: You're comfortable working with feed engineering on data pipelines, completeness scoring, and quality frameworks. You understand how upstream data decisions ripple into the downstream renter experience
• Partnership management: You've managed data and content partnerships at scale — negotiating, onboarding, and optimizing third-party data sources — and you're credible in the room with external partners
• Prioritization under pressure: You can hold a committed roadmap while absorbing unplanned work, with disciplined scope management and clear, honest tradeoff communication
• AI fluency: You actively use AI tools across the product development lifecycle — research, prototyping, analysis — and can think critically about where and how AI creates value in the product. You're an effective partner to AI/ML teams and comfortable evaluating AI capabilities, build-vs-partner-vs-buy decisions, and the tradeoffs inherent in AI-powered products
• Exceptional communication skills (verbal, written, and visual) with the ability to articulate complex ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences and influence at all levels
• Consistent record of shipping successful products at scale
• Passion for the real estate industry and a commitment to Zillow Group's mission and values
• This role has been categorized as a Remote position. “Remote” employees do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and, instead, work from a physical location of their choice, which must be identified to the Company. U.S. employees may live in any of the 50 United States, with limited exceptions
