Requirements
  • 7+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time in acquisition, growth, or PLG roles
  • You think in funnels. You've owned conversion rate, CAC, activation rate, or similar metrics and moved them — ideally across more than one segment or acquisition model
  • Growth-oriented: you've run controlled experiments, built holdout groups, and made product decisions from the results
  • Technical depth: comfortable writing SQL, reading API docs, and working at the spec level with engineers
  • Full-cycle PM experience — you've taken products from discovery through research, spec, build, launch, and iteration
  • Experience with B2B SaaS, marketplace, multi-sided platforms, or consumer subscription products
  • Hands-on with product analytics tools (Amplitude, Mixpanel, Heap). You build your own funnels and dashboards; you don't outsource your data work
  • AI-fluent. You use Claude, Cursor, or similar tools actively in your workflow — for writing specs, synthesizing research, accelerating analysis. This is a baseline, not a differentiator
  • Familiar with basic CRM, CMS, and no-code tools — enough to make lightweight content or page changes without waiting on engineering
  • Self-starter. You identify the next problem and you bring the solution with it
  • Location: All Evolve team members must live in one of our approved locations by their first day. We can hire from anywhere in the U.S. except D.C. and Hawaii. Some positions may also have restrictions based on compensation in the following states: California, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Washington. Colorado allows remote or hybrid options.
Responsibilities
  • Own the acquisition product strategy across segments — define the funnel for both operator and single-owner acquisition, identify the conversion levers unique to each, and build the product experience that takes users from "interested" to "activated"
  • Design and run growth experiments end-to-end: write the hypothesis, scope the build, measure the result, make the call. Ship fast, kill fast, scale what works
  • Lead discovery: talk to customers across the spectrum — from portfolio operators to first-time hosts — and translate those insights into a differentiated product roadmap
  • Partner with Marketing and Sales on go-to-market execution — you own the product side of campaigns, not just the feature side
  • Define and own your KPIs. Build dashboards, track cohorts, and report on acquisition and activation performance without delegating the analysis
  • Bring a technical perspective to every initiative — you can write a spec, debate an architecture tradeoff, and spot when an engineering estimate is off
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience with customers who manage a portfolio of assets or juggle both a self-serve and sales-assisted funnel
  • Any other preferred but not required qualifications

However, supply continues to outpace demand and is up 21% year-over-year (YoY), resulting in lower total revenue per property YoY.On the bright side, there have been economic shifts that may benefit owners in the summer months; inflation dropped from 6% in February to 4.9% this April, and domestic flight prices are down 19% from last year.from 6% in February to 4.9% this April, and are down 19% from last year.
