About The Position

Zillow Rentals is building a best-in-class vertically integrated marketplace that connects renters with property owners and managers — from large-scale multifamily communities to single-family homes. We provide advertising solutions and a complete set of digital tools to help partners market their properties, identify prospective tenants, sign leases, and collect payments. This is a high-growth, high-focus area for Zillow and an opportunity to make an outsized impact. Our team includes applied scientists, engineers, designers, product managers, marketers, and researchers partnering across Zillow to deliver trusted experiences for millions of customers. Every renter journey on Zillow starts with inventory. If the underlying listing data isn't complete, accurate, and rich, nothing downstream — messaging, touring, applications, leasing — performs the way it should. This role owns that foundation. The Principal Product Manager for Listings will set the strategy for what makes Zillow's rental selection the deepest, richest, and most complete on the internet. You'll own how rental inventory is sourced, ingested, enriched, and scored for quality — ensuring consumer-facing teams have the best possible data to work with. This spans listing completeness and content quality, inventory coverage and growth, and the data and content partnerships that differentiate Zillow's selection. You'll partner closely with feed engineering on data quality and platform reliability, and represent listings strategy to senior leadership and external partners alike. This is a high-visibility, strategic product role — not a narrow pipeline role. Get this right and you create a flywheel: richer inventory drives more renter engagement, which attracts more and better inventory. You're building the marketplace's core advantage.

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.

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.
