Role Overview

As Senior Product Manager for our Core Experience, you'll own the essential workflows hosts and service providers use every day to run short-term rental operations. This includes how work gets planned, scheduled, communicated, completed, verified, and resolved across features such as task management, checklists, problem reporting, notifications, and operational workflows.

You'll spend time understanding how hosts and service providers actually work, identifying friction in their day-to-day routines, and turning those problems into intuitive product experiences.

This is a customer-facing product role. You should be comfortable working with technical systems and integrations, but your primary focus will be owning and improving the product experiences our customers depend on to get work done.

You'll work daily with Engineering, Design, Operations, Support, and other Product teams, and you'll be accountable for customer and business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Own the core operational experience

• Own critical host and service provider workflows end to end. Set the strategy, roadmap, and execution for the experiences hosts and contractors use to manage work across their properties and projects.

• Make daily operations simpler. Simplify multi-step and exception-heavy workflows without losing the flexibility customers need to operate their businesses.

• Balance supply and demand. Make trade-offs that keep the marketplace healthy for everyone. A win for hosts that hurts cleaner retention (or the reverse) is not a win.

• Design for the edge case as if it were the happy path. Substitutions, late arrivals, no-shows, damage reports, and engagement notifications get the same rigor as the primary flow, with workflows Operations can actually run.

• Create consistency across the product. Help ensure Turno feels like one coherent system as we add new products, services, and markets.

Product strategy, discovery & execution

• Lead continuous discovery. Translate customer behavior, qualitative research, support insights, and product data into clear problem statements, hypotheses, and opportunities.

• Prioritize based on customer and business impact. Balance usability improvements, product growth, operational efficiency, reliability, and longer-term platform needs.

• Define meaningful product outcomes. Establish metrics for adoption, engagement, task completion, reliability, satisfaction, and operational efficiency.

• Ship with Engineering and Design. Partner daily to define solutions, prioritize ruthlessly, and release high-quality work on a steady cadence.

• Drive alignment. Communicate clearly, make decisions in a structured way, and bring stakeholders and leadership along.

Systems & technical fluency

• Think in connected systems. Understand how shared concepts such as properties, projects, users, schedules, tasks, payments, and communications interact across Turno.

• Partner effectively with Engineering. Be comfortable discussing technical tradeoffs, integrations, data models, and platform constraints without needing to be the technical architect.

• Be your own best data analyst. Build Looker dashboards that track the health of your product area, and define the KPIs and instrumentation behind them.

• Use AI pragmatically. Apply AI where it meaningfully reduces customer effort, automates repetitive work, improves quality, or helps users resolve operational problems.

Qualifications

Must-have qualifications

• Experience: 6+ years of product management in B2B SaaS, marketplaces, operations software, or products with complex customer journeys and multi-sided interactions (supply and demand, buyers and sellers).

• Product sense and curiosity: Strong instincts grounded in real user understanding. You keep asking "why" until the root problem is clear.

• Systems thinking: Ability to understand how multiple product areas and workflows interact while keeping the customer experience coherent.

• Data fluency: Experience defining KPIs, building instrumentation, and using BI tools to make decisions.

• AI experience: You leverage AI throughout your entire product tasks and planning.

• Communication: Ability to explain complex customer, technical, and operational problems clearly and make thoughtful trade-offs visible.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience owning products involving tasks, projects, scheduling, operational workflows, collaboration, or multi-step processes.

• Experience with mobile-first products where users complete work while on the go.

• Hands-on experience implementing customer engagement solutions such as Braze or Iterable, including lifecycle messaging, push, in-app, and email journeys tied to product events.

• A track record of leading a migration from a legacy tech stack to a modern one, paired with a UX redesign, across both web and mobile apps. You know how to sequence the move, protect existing users, and measure the impact.
