Senior Product Manager, Core & Connectivity (Remote)

tldr; We build software for Airbnbs to rent themselves, with a state-of-the-art product and user experience.

We have crafted an Applicant Handbook, which we highly recommend you check out, where you can find out more about the company, culture, how we recruit, what we do, and how we do it.

We are bold, like risks, and take on big challenges together. Our customers love the product, provide valuable feedback, and trust us to rapidly help them with more of their problems.

Feel free to join in one of our upcoming Townhalls on YouTube to experience it for yourself!

Hospitable.com is a remote-only and fully distributed company. We hire based on timezones, not countries.

The Product: Core & Connectivity

Our Core platform is comprised of properties, calendar, messaging, metrics, operations, and guest experience. The Connectivity component is our integrations into major online travel agencies like Agoda, Airbnb, Booking.com, Google Travel, and VRBO. Our nearly 15,000 customers rely on our core and connectivity product to manage $300M+ in monthly reservations.

Responsibilities

We provide value to our customers by relentlessly simplifying our product and uncovering new ways to gift our customers their time back. We want to make managing short-term rentals trivial. Your responsibility is to keep our product on mission.

• Drive outcomes and own the results on a multi-million dollar business line
• Develop and implement the product vision, strategy, and roadmap, breaking that down into rapidly shippable projects, consistent with the company vision.
• Collect and analyze feedback from customers, stakeholders, and other teams to shape requirements, features, and end products.
• Work with senior management to create product plans and roadmaps, based on your interaction with customers and aggregate customer feedback.
• Partner with sales, customer support, and engineering to ship features and products that solve the right problems.
• Ensure products and releases are launched correctly and on schedule.
• Prioritize, set the pace of execution, and balance engineering cost with impact on business.
• Suggest ways to track product use and impact on end users.
• Make creative recommendations to expand product base and vision. Actively seek out opportunities to innovate.

For this position, your location is not a requirement. The ideal fit could work under European or American east coast timezones.

Don’t tick all the boxes? Talk to us about why you’re still an amazing fit. The successful candidate will demonstrate how they are uniquely qualified for this role and will be someone that we cannot wait to start working with.

Here’s what we’re paying attention to:
