Principal Product Manager, Monetization
About The Team
As a Principal Product Manager within the Industry Software Product organization, you'll be part of a collaborative group focused on commercializing the professional software products that real estate agents, brokers, and their teams rely on every day. This team plays a critical role in creating a unified, intuitive commercial journey across Zillow's growing suite of offerings, so real estate professionals can easily discover, purchase, onboard, manage, and get value from the products they use every day. We own shared monetization capabilities that power that journey across products, including purchase flows, onboarding, entitlements, billing and payments, and the underlying business rules that allow Zillow to scale and evolve its commercial model over time.
About The Role
As a Principal Product Manager, Monetization, you'll own the commercial experiences that directly drive Zillow's revenue — the moments that take a real estate professional from interest to purchase to long-term value. This is high-ambiguity, high-stakes work: you'll set strategy, align diverse stakeholders, and make the tradeoffs that shape how monetization scales across a growing portfolio of professional software products. The right person for this role is not only strong with customer-facing UX or roadmap execution; they are equally comfortable working through the underlying systems complexity of onboarding, entitlements, pricing, billing, contracts, and enterprise purchasing models.

- Experience owning complex monetization systems, such as shopping, onboarding, entitlements, billing and payments, pricing, or packaging.
- Principal-level judgment: proven ability to define product strategy, sequence multi-quarter roadmaps, and navigate ambiguity in fast-moving organizations.
- Strong cross-functional influence skills: experience aligning engineering, design, sales, finance, legal, and operations around a shared roadmap and driving decisions without direct authority.

- Proven ability to synthesize complexity quickly, ramp on new domains, and pivot with confidence when priorities shift.
- AI fluency: demonstrated use of AI tools to accelerate your own work, with a clear point of view on where AI capabilities can drive meaningful customer value in the product.
- Experience with enterprise or hierarchical purchasing models, experimentation and funnel optimization, or the real estate industry is a plus.
