Senior Product Manager, Search & Evaluate - StreetEasy

Zillow is hiring a Senior Product Manager to own StreetEasy’s core home-search and evaluation experience across web and mobile. The role will shape search strategy, personalization, property evaluation, and measurement, partnering with engineering and data science to improve how users navigate the real estate market.

Responsibilities:

• Define and drive the search and shopping experience across web, iOS, and Android, from initial query through listing and building detail, saving and comparing
• Rethink how we personalize the process of finding a home—a high-stakes, infrequent decision. User intent shifts over months, so our sparse signals have to do more heavy lifting than in typical search contexts
• Partner with engineering and data science to lead the evolution of our search strategy, prioritizing high-impact AI-native opportunities that will transform how users navigate the market
• Own the property evaluation pages and experience, helping users navigate NYC-specific nuances like co-op policies and pricing
• Navigate the structural tension between organic relevance and advertising products that are core to the business model — not a side constraint, but a daily design problem
• Set the measurement framework for search quality in a non-deterministic, AI-powered experience — defining what "good" looks like when you can't rely on clean A/B tests alone

Requirements:

• 6+ years of digital product management experience, at least 3 years owning search, relevance or discovery in a marketplace context
• Owned a search or discovery experience at a transactional, two-sided marketplace, one where supply and demand have competing interests on the same results surface
• You understand how search and discovery engines function under the hood, and you can apply that knowledge to build ranking and personalization strategies that drive better results
• Fluency in managing behavioral data as a core product input that powers personalization and agentic systems
• Track record of running rigorous A/B experiments on search flows — from designing the hypothesis, defining the metrics, interpreting ambiguous results, and making a decision on next steps
• Exceptional cross-functional leadership, consistently aligning Engineering, Design, Data Science, and business stakeholders through clear product vision and compelling storytelling
• Experience managing the tension between optimizing the organic user experience and successfully integrating advertising products without compromise
• Analytical, structured thinker who thrives in ambiguity and moves quickly from insight to action without waiting for perfect information
