About The Position

This posting will be open until September 30, 2026. Applications received after this date may not be considered. Rentals is one of Redfin's biggest growth opportunities. Across Redfin, Rent.com, and ApartmentGuide.com, millions of renters rely on us to find their next place. Renters need us more than most: they're often earlier in their real estate journey, less experienced, and without the guidance of an agent that buyers enjoy. They rely on the websites and apps they trust to guide them to a home for rent, and how well we serve them shapes whether they come back. And they do come back, because today's renter is tomorrow's buyer and homeowner. Every renter we help find a home is a future customer we can guide through their entire real estate journey. A great rentals marketplace has two sides. One is the renter experience: search, discovery, and easily contacting properties. The other is inventory, or the listings that make the search worth doing. We're building both. Alongside the consumer experience, we're standing up a new multi-family business that brings property management companies onto our platform and grows the inventory we can show renters. That's where you come in. We're looking for a talented product leader to own rentals on Redfin and across our family of sites and to help build this new business from the ground up. You'll set the strategy for how renters discover and land their next home, lead and grow a team of four product managers who together own the entire rentals experience, and partner with the business owner of our multi-family business to define the product for property management companies, how it works, and how we win. You'll also own how renters become buyers on Redfin and the experience for everyday homeowners who as landlords use Redfin to find a renter and fill their vacant property.
