[Hiring] Senior Product Manager @AvantStay

Role Description

We're looking for a highly hands-on Senior Product Manager with exceptional product taste, strong design instincts, and a builder mindset. You'll focus primarily on AvantStay's consumer experience across discovery, booking, trip planning, pre-arrival, in-stay experiences, and retention. You'll have significant ownership and a high bar for both speed and quality.

What You’ll Do

• Own important consumer problems end-to-end. Start with the customer problem and carry it through discovery, design, build, launch, and iteration.
• Build, don't just specify. Use AI and modern product tools to turn ideas into working experiences quickly.
• Set a high design bar. Create and critique user flows, interactions, copy, and prototypes. Know when something is merely functional versus genuinely great.
• Obsess over the customer. Talk to guests, watch how they use the product, study behavioral signals, and turn those insights into better experiences.
• Drive the consumer funnel. Improve discovery, conversion, engagement, repeat behavior, and the overall guest experience.
• Experiment constantly. Form clear hypotheses, test quickly, learn from real behavior, and iterate.
• Partner deeply with Engineering and Design. Work through tradeoffs in real time and stay close to the details through launch.
• Use AI as leverage. Apply AI throughout the product process to move faster, explore more possibilities, and raise the quality of what gets shipped.
• Maintain a high craft bar. Care about hierarchy, interaction, responsiveness, edge cases, copy, and polish.

Qualifications

• 5+ years building consumer products, ideally across web or mobile.
• A track record of shipping products that materially improved conversion, engagement, retention, or customer experience.
• Exceptional product taste. You know what great consumer software feels like and can clearly explain why.
• Strong design instincts. You can independently create compelling flows and prototypes and push a product toward a better UX.
• A full-stack product mindset. You are comfortable moving across research, design, analytics, prototyping, experimentation, technical tradeoffs, and execution.
• Fluency with modern AI tools and a demonstrated ability to use them to materially increase your output.
• Strong technical intuition. You understand systems, APIs, data, and implementation constraints well enough to work effectively with engineers.
• High agency. You make progress without waiting for perfect requirements or large supporting teams.
• Strong written communication and the ability to operate effectively in a distributed team.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action.

What Exceptional Looks Like

• You have built things yourself.
• You can show us products, prototypes, workflows, experiments, or experiences you personally helped bring to life.
• You combine taste with speed: you move quickly without lowering the bar.
• You use AI not as a feature category, but as a fundamental part of how you work.
