Principal Product Manager, GenAI Media Experiences

About the team

The Rich Media AI group aims to create a real estate buying and renting experience where every mover can get a deep sense of a home online and reimagine it as their own. We are inventing technologies that allow people to feel like they’re already there - all from their phone or desktop. Using cutting-edge computer vision and AI science, we work across disciplines to build products like virtual staging, 360 tours, floor plans, aerial overviews, marketing videos, and new experiences not even imagined yet!

With our products already on over 1 million homes a year, we are creating the next chapter of home shopping experiences.

About the role

As Principal Product Manager of GenAI Media Experiences, you will lead the creation of generative AI experiences that let shoppers immerse themselves in a home and its potential, often without requiring additional camera hardware or time spent capturing the home. This includes virtual staging, virtual renovation, AI walkthrough videos, inferred floor plans, and more.

You will be the product partner for our science and engineering team in Germany, shaping what new research can become, then taking ideas from prototype to build, launch, and scale across Zillow's consumer and B2B surfaces.

This is an innovation role at its core that also holds a high bar for market impact. You’ll spend time flexing across early exploration with scientists, MLEs, and designers; building and refining new AI-based media experiences; and working across multiple teams to bring them to market.

These initiatives sit at the forefront of real estate and computer vision technology, directly empowering home shoppers while also equipping partners (including agents, landlords, and photographers) with next-generation solutions to elevate and expand their businesses.

As Principal Product Manager, you'll bring your curiosity, experience, product judgment, and drive to a team that values invention, imagination, speed, and impact.

You Will Get To:

• Partner with scientists, MLEs, and designers to turn new research into experiences shoppers want and shape the most promising ideas into offerings
• Own the roadmap for multiple generative AI media products
• Craft novel 3D and AI-driven experiences with UX designers, for shoppers across mobile and desktop
• Partner with business units, platform teams, and other PMs to define business cases and execution roadmaps to launch across B2B and B2C surfaces
• Set success metrics, iterate fast, and know when to scale, pivot, or stop
