About the Role

This position is located in Arlington, VA and is on-site Monday through Friday. We are hiring a Product Director to lead the searcher side of the LoopNet experience — everything a tenant, buyer, or investor touches from the moment they land on LoopNet to the moment they find the right space.

It works alongside the Senior Product Director, Lister Experience, to ensure a coherent experience end to end.

• Partner with the Senior Product Director, Lister Experience, to ensure a consistent, coherent experience for both sides of the marketplace.
• Define and drive the vision for bringing AI into the search and discovery experience, including conversational search and personalization.
• Set and track product KPIs for search relevance, engagement, and conversion across the searcher journey.
• Partner with design and engineering leadership to resolve cross-team tradeoffs and ensure a consistent experience across surfaces.
• Represent the searcher experience in cross‑functional planning with marketing, sales, and analytics.
• Coach and develop the Product Managers on the team, building their product judgment and execution rigor.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited, not-for-profit, in‑person university or college.
• 8+ years of product management experience, including 2+ years managing other Product Managers.

• Experience with consumer‑facing, high‑traffic search or marketplace products.
• Strong analytical skills; comfortable setting and tracking KPIs and using experimentation to validate decisions.
• Excellent stakeholder management and cross‑functional leadership skills.
• A track record of commitment to prior employers.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or shipping products with conversational AI, generative AI, or personalization/ranking systems.
• Experience in commercial or residential real estate, or other two‑sided marketplaces.
• Experience partnering with a peer product leader who owns an adjacent, complementary customer segment (e.g., supply vs. demand sides of a marketplace).

Benefits

• Comprehensive healthcare coverage: Medical, Vision, Dental, Prescription Drug, Life, legal, and supplementary insurance.
• Virtual and in‑person mental health counseling services for individuals and family.
• Commuter and parking benefits.
• 401(K) retirement plan with matching contributions.
