Company mission
To set the new standard for the short-term rental experience.
Role
Who you are
- 2–4 years of product management (or equivalent) experience in a fast-paced consumer, marketplace, or SaaS environment
- Proven ability to deliver measurable impact on conversion, retention, or customer experience
- Strong technical comfort: you can write SQL, explore APIs, and understand how systems connect
- Hands-on experience prototyping with AI/no-code tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Bolt, Webflow, Figma)
- Curiosity and empathy: you talk to users regularly and let their needs shape your roadmap
- Strong communication and collaboration skills; you work across functions with clarity and conviction
- Comfort with ambiguity and a resourceful, operator mindset
What the job involves
- We’re seeking a Product Manager who thrives on full accountability and ownership of a problem space
- This is not a strategy-only role — you’ll be in the details: interviewing users, pulling your own SQL queries, prototyping with AI/no-code tools, and working hand-in-hand with design, engineering, and operations to deliver measurable outcomes
- You will be both architect and builder, driving solutions that balance customer value with operational scalability
- If you’re scrappy, data-driven, and excited to shape the future of travel, this role is for you
- Own a problem end-to-end. Take accountability for understanding the user, mapping pain points, and delivering solutions that materially improve conversion, retention, or efficiency
- Talk to users, build prototypes. Interview customers, synthesize insights, and create quick prototypes using AI/no-code tools (Cursor, v0, Bolt, Webflow, Figma) to validate ideas before handing off to engineering
- Get into the data. Write SQL queries and partner with Data to run analyses, track KPIs, build dashboards, and inform product decisions with evidence
- Drive rapid experimentation. Run iterative tests (A/B, multivariate) with clear hypotheses, success metrics, and learnings — moving fast while maintaining rigor
- Collaborate cross-functionally. Work closely with Design, Engineering, Marketing, Ops, and Guest Experience to ensure solutions are feasible, scalable, and well-adopted
- Deliver high standards at pace. Balance speed of execution with quality; know when to ship scrappy and when to invest in polish
Our take
AvantStay is redefining the short-term rental experience. Unlike traditional online travel agencies that simply connect travelers with hosts, AvantStay takes full ownership and control of its properties so guests get the best experience.
Each of AvantStay's homes are thoughtfully curated by award-winning interior designers. And guests can personalize their stay through the AvantStay app, choosing from a rang of luxury add-ons like in-home spa treatments, grocery delivery, or private chef experiences.
Now, the company operates over 2,300 properties across 140 cities, with ambitious plans to expand beyond the US. As the company continues scaling, it's doubling down on both portfolio growth and innovation, investing in operational technology and partnering with companies like Allianz Partners to offer added peace of mind through trip cancellation and interruption coverage.
