Staff Product Manager, Platform

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.

We're hiring a Staff Product Manager, Platform to lead one of RentSpree's core platform domains — the foundational systems that power how thousands of agents and landlords serve millions of renters every day.

Platform work at RentSpree sits at the intersection of user experiences, regulatory environment, and third-party vendor infrastructure. It's product surface area where the right architectural bets today determine how quickly we can ship for the next five years, and where user trust is earned in seconds and lost just as fast.

You'll own the strategy and roadmap for evolving this platform — working across user-facing flows, vendor partnerships, compliance, and the underlying platform layers. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role with significant ownership. You'll partner closely with design, engineering, legal and compliance, marketing, and customer success to translate ambiguous problems into clear, shippable solutions.

You'll thrive here if you're energized by complex, systems-level product problems; if you can hold both the craft of a great user experience and the rigor of a platform decision in your head at the same time; and if you take pride in deeply understanding the people you build for.

This role is based in Seattle, with in-office collaboration 2 days per week.

• Own the end-to-end product strategy, roadmap, and execution for a core platform domain at RentSpree
• Lead the evolution of a mature, high-volume product surface — balancing incremental delivery with longer-horizon platform bets
• Develop deep expertise in the systems you own: how vendors, compliance frameworks, data flows, and user behavior shape what's possible
• Partner with engineering and design to make thoughtful architectural tradeoffs between speed, flexibility, and reliability
• Work closely with legal, compliance, and external partners to navigate regulated terrain
• Define success metrics that balance user outcomes, business impact, and operational health
• Communicate clearly and often with executives, cross-functional partners, and the working team, bringing clarity to complex tradeoffs and driving decisions forward

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

• 6+ years of product management experience, including experience in a high-growth environment
• Demonstrated experience leading platform, infrastructure, or systems-level products
• Strong product sense and fundamentals
• Comfort with ambiguity and systems complexity — you can reason about products that span multiple user personas, third-party integrations, and regulatory or policy constraints
• A bias for action — you find scrappy paths forward without sacrificing quality
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical audiences
• Analytical fluency — you can interpret data, size opportunities, and define clear, measurable success metrics

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.
• Experiment and learn fast. Try things. Learn from what doesn't work. Keep it simple.
• 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.

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

• Compensation. $200k-$235k 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.

If you take ownership, move with urgency, and want to work on problems that matter, we'd love to hear from you. You don't need to meet every requirement. If this feels like the right place to do your best work, reach out.
