Principal Product Manager - ApartmentIQ

About the Role

ApartmentIQ is seeking a Principal Product Manager — a senior individual contributor (IC) role focused on developing strategic product vision while executing hands-on discovery and delivery.

You will identify market opportunities, define product roadmaps, and partner closely with engineering, design, analytics, and data science teams to bring solutions to market. Through deep customer engagement with multifamily operators, you will uncover user needs, validate concepts, and ensure we deliver products that solve meaningful problems.

This position balances big-picture strategic planning with tactical execution — conducting customer interviews, analyzing product metrics, defining requirements, prioritizing features, and guiding development cycles.

What Success Looks Like

• Deep customer empathy: Stay close to customers and build authentic relationships to understand what drives their decisions and challenges.
• Extreme ownership: Own outcomes end-to-end, surface risks early, and ensure details never slip.
• Bias for speed and action: Prioritize velocity, make sound decisions quickly, ship MVPs to prove value, and iterate on user behavior.
• Obsession with quality and details: Maintain high product standards and sweat the small details to create reliable, premium, and intuitive experiences.
• Decisive judgment: Operate comfortably in ambiguity and navigate complex tradeoffs decisively.
• Relentless drive: Push through blockers to consistently deliver impactful customer value within constraints.

• Engage multifamily operators to understand user pain points and buyer needs
• Collaborate with marketing and sales teams on field enablement and go-to-market strategies
• Partner with stakeholders to refine and optimize product execution processes

Qualifications

• 8–10 years of product management experience in high-growth B2B SaaS startups
• Demonstrated success owning product strategy, roadmaps, and delivery with measurable business impact
• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex concepts into clear product plans
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with experience aligning cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders
• Proven experience conducting user research, usability testing, and product data analysis
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving startup environment
• Highly organized with strong project management capabilities
