Job description

Renting should be faster, fairer, and less stressful than it is. We're the infrastructure that makes that happen. Four million users. 300+ real estate company and MLS partnerships. Ten years of consistent growth. From applications and screening to payments and lease management, the full rental journey runs on RentSpree. Recognized by Forbes as a Best Startup Employer and by BuiltIn Seattle as a Best Place to Work.

RentSpree is reimagining how the rental transaction gets done, with an AI-powered core that takes on the work people dread and makes rentals simpler for everyone involved. It's an ambitious bet on where the industry goes next, and we're building it now.

We're looking for a Principal Product Manager to own a meaningful part of that product, from discovery to shipped outcome. You'll set direction, prototype your ideas, and drive a cross-functional squad to measurable results. Equal parts product taste, customer intuition, and hands-on execution.

What You'll Do

• Own outcomes on your product surface: translate direction into a roadmap and deliver against it.
• Stay close to customers, talk to them directly and turn what you hear into testable hypotheses.
• Prototype working demos to showcase and pressure-test your ideas.
• Drive Engineering, Design, Data and cross-functional stakeholders toward shared goals.
• Define success metrics, track them, and surface progress and risk early.

Our job descriptions evolve with our business needs and priorities. Your role may include other tasks, projects, and team support.

Skills You Bring

• 8+ years in product management, with demonstrated ownership of outcomes.
• Decisiveness under ambiguity: you synthesize, decide, and move with imperfect information, and course-correct fast when you're wrong.
• Balanced judgment across signal: you weigh qualitative and quantitative inputs together, and know when you have enough to act.
• Strong communication and product taste with a clear instinct for what good looks like and the ability to tell the story of your bets.
• Experience aligning cross-functional partners toward shared goals.

These are the principles we hire for and hold ourselves to:

• Own it end to end. Drive projects from idea to execution. Take pride in the work. Do what it takes.
• Communicate like a teammate. Direct, candid, and respectful. Give feedback well, receive it well, and build trust through transparency.
• Hold a high bar. Think critically. Stay curious. Keep looking for ways to do it better.
• Stay adaptable. Anticipate challenges, take initiative, and bring resourcefulness to whatever comes next.
• Be audacious, learn loudly: Take the big swings our mission demands, treat every outcome as impact or a lesson, and share what you learn early and openly so the whole company grows stronger.
• Debate well, commit fully. Push back constructively, contribute your point of view, then align and move together.
• AI is a core skill. Use AI tools to move faster and think sharper.

Why Join Us?

The work here is real, the problems are hard, and you'll have teammates who push you to do your best.

• Compensation. $260k - $310k base.
• Equity. Share in what you help build.
• The team. Talented colleagues who push you and back you up.
• Room to grow. Coaching, resources, and development beyond the role you start in.
• Health coverage from day one. Medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents. HSA/FSA options. Headspace Care+, gym discounts, and more.
• A real plan for your future. Life and disability coverage, plus a SIMPLE IRA with company match.
• Flexible vacation. Take the time you need. We trust you to manage it.
• 11 holidays a year, plus 3 recharge days.
• Ways to connect. Reimbursed weekly team lunches, game nights, and events. In-person and remote.
• Recognition. Recognize a peer with Sprees (redeemable for gift cards or donations). Nominate someone for a S.P.R.E.E. Award with a potential spot bonus.
• The tools to do your best work. Business expense allowance and internet reimbursement.
• Family support. Parental leave and fertility benefits.
• Legal and tax help. Legal benefits and tax support through RocketLawyer.
• Seattle HQ perk. Company-sponsored Orca card for public transit to and from the office.
• High impact, lean team. Small teams, close to customers, shipping work that matters. Your fingerprints are on the product.
