Principal Product Manager, Customer Data Platform

About the team

Our customers, the millions of people attempting to move into a better home for their family, are at the core of everything we do at Zillow Group. We’re endeavoring to not only improve search & discovering of her dream home, but ultimately abstract her away from all the coordinating required today to transact on the one she finds.

Zillow is seeking an outstanding Principal or Senior Principal Product Manager to work with our data engineering teams behind our central understanding of these users across their various journeys. Every user has the potential to be weighing renting, buying and selling simultaneously: and that’s before she begins the process of securing a loan, title & escrow, selling her home to us, and more.

To seamlessly guide her across these processes, we need an in depth understanding of who she is, where she’s going, and how best to help. This team works across our technology, machine learning, & business teams to make this possible.
