Principal Product Manager
Principal Product Manager - Seattle, WA (hybrid, paid relocation available)
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.
Qualities You Practice

- **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.
