We are looking for a Senior Director of Product to lead our Rentals Division, one of the most dynamic and strategically important areas of our business. This role combines product leadership and P&L ownership—you’ll define the vision, strategy, and execution for the Rentals platform, while also being accountable for growth, profitability, and cross-functional alignment in a competitive and fast-changing market.

This is a high-visibility, senior leadership role, reporting directly to the SVP of Acquisition & Growth, with significant scope across Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Analytics, Consumer Experience, and Finance.

• Own the vision for a unified, data-driven Rentals experience that delivers value to both Consumers (renters) and Partners (landlords, property managers, and content providers).
• Champion bold, forward-looking strategies that incorporate consumer insights, partner needs, competitive intelligence, and emerging technologies (including AI/ML) to differentiate Realtor.com in the Rentals market.
  

P&L Leadership

• Serve as the Rentals business line owner with full accountability for revenue, operating margin, and resource allocation.

• Foster a culture of accountability, innovation, and customer obsession, empowering your team to think big and deliver measurable impact.
• Align closely with Engineering, Marketing, Sales, and Consumer Experience to ensure seamless execution of Rentals strategies.
• Drive alignment across internal teams and external partnerships (including our Zillow Rentals partnership) to maximize Consumer reach and Partner value.

Consumer & Partner Experience Ownership

• Ensure Realtor.com delivers a best-in-class Consumer experience for renters, while also building high-value tools and workflows for Partners.
• Be the advocate for both sides of the marketplace, ensuring platform design reflects their needs and drives meaningful outcomes.
  

Operational & Market Excellence

• Establish and monitor KPIs that track Rentals performance (e.g., consumer engagement, lead submission rates, partner satisfaction, revenue efficiency).
• Use analytics and experimentation to guide prioritization, measure impact, and continuously improve results.
• Build strong industry partnerships to expand Rentals content, inventory, and distribution.
  

Stakeholder Management & Communication
