Senior Product Manager, Search & Evaluate - StreetEasy

Zillow is reimagining how people move through the real estate market and is seeking a Senior Product Manager for their Search & Evaluate team. This role will own the core shopping experience, focusing on search, browse, compare, and evaluate functionalities while driving innovation through AI-assisted discovery and personalization.

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
