Senior Product Manager

About the teamAt Zillow Home Loans (ZHL), we’re reimagining how buyers understand what they can afford—and ultimately how they finance a home. Our mission is to meet Zillow users earlier in their journey, empower them with personalized affordability insights, and build trusted relationships that guide them through their home buying journey.
The BuyAbility team plays a foundational role in this effort. We’ve built a unique experience that helps buyers estimate what they can afford with minimal friction, then personalize their path based on financial readiness. Our work spans Zillow.com and the Zillow app and connects deeply with shopping, marketing, and loan officer experiences. Together, we’re helping buyers move confidently from dreaming to owning.

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead our strategy around how buyers enter, engage with, and return to BuyAbility. In this role, you’ll define and evolve the user journeys that guide home shoppers into our affordability experience—whether they’re just starting to browse, actively searching, or re-engaging after time away. You’ll focus on personalized entry points, contextual nudges, and re-engagement strategies that keep potential buyers progressing toward home buying readiness.

You’ll partner on initiatives that make Zillow’s user experience more personalized and identity-aware, ensuring we’re tailoring messages and product flows based on what we know about a buyer’s journey so far. This role is highly cross-functional, with deep collaboration across Product, Marketing, Design, Data Science, and Engineering.

You Will Get To:

• Define and optimize how buyers enter BuyAbility based on their goals, readiness, and behavior.

• Build re-engagement strategies that bring users back when they're ready to progress.

• Collaborate with Zillow Shopping, Marketing, and AI teams to test CTA placements, messaging, and personalized upsells.

• Lead funnel experimentation—form hypotheses, run A/B tests, analyze results, and iterate.

• Partner with Marketing to grow awareness of Zillow Home Loans across surfaces.

• Work cross-functionally to define requirements, prioritize work, and ship high-impact experiences.

• Define success metrics to track adoption, engagement, and conversion.

• Foster a customer-first mentality while balancing long-term vision with rapid iteration.
