This is not your typical job description. My name is Ari, founder of Extenteam. I entered the short-term rental industry by mistake while studying Industrial Engineering at USC back in 2009. After running short-term rental management companies for more than a decade, I started Extenteam, a staffing and proptech company that helps short-term rental operators. We grew to a team of 430 people and more than $10MM ARR, but we also became complacent. We focused on the wrong things and instead of executing, we spent too much time strategizing. Everything changed at our South of France offsite in October 2025. We decided that the future of the short-term rental industry will be shaped by AI and automation. This is where Tailwind comes in. Tailwind is Extenteam's automation and guest communication platform built specifically for the short-term rental industry. It helps property management companies streamline operations by centralizing guest messaging, automating repeatable tasks, and improving response times across all communication channels. Our mission is to help our existing client base of 300 property management companies become more efficient using the Tailwind platform. We are building a new team with an ownership mindset that values execution and takes pride in doing excellent work with urgency. If you push for automation, understand patterns in how people work, avoid solving problems by adding headcount, and are committed to improving processes through data - we want to speak with you. We are looking for an exceptional Head of Product to own product vision, strategy, and execution across two interconnected scopes: our agent/shared-services platform (the operational backbone powering our internal team of 350+ customer service agents) and our SaaS platform (the product we are taking directly to STR property managers at scale). This is not a role for someone who needs a clean, defined lane. You will operate in ambiguity, make consequential decisions daily, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with our founder, a talented engineering squad, and a Senior PM that you get to hire. You will partner directly with the leadership and act as the product architect responsible for translating vision into execution in a scrappy way.
