Where the team fits in

The New Homes product team builds the digital experiences that help developers, builders and project marketers showcase developments, manage their listings and connect with buyers. We own key experiences including Builder Profiles, Project Profiles and New Homes-specific customer flows, partnering with design, engineering, data and commercial teams to deliver simple products that create value for customers and consumers.

What the role is all about

As Senior Product Manager, you will lead the New Homes Engage squad and its product roadmap. The squad helps the right buyers discover and evaluate new home projects through search, personalisation, richer content and lifecycle marketing. You will work with Engineering, Product Design, Go to Market, Sales and Customer Operations to improve key experiences, including project profiles, recommendations, search and project updates.

• Own the Project Profile product roadmap, aligning priorities to REA’s strategy and delivering value for customers and consumers.

• Develop product strategy by building a deep understanding of customer and consumer needs, market trends, competitor activity and product performance.

• Lead discovery and prioritisation of initiatives that improve project discoverability and the Project Profile experience, including search, recommendations, richer content and project updates.

• Partner with engineering, design and delivery teams to define clear outcomes, create viable plans and deliver high-quality product experiences.

• Work closely with sales, marketing, go-to-market and customer operations teams to plan successful launches and support customer adoption.

• Monitor product and commercial performance, investigate trends and turn insights into actions that drive growth and improve customer outcomes.

• Identify and evaluate opportunities to optimise the product, including pricing, packaging and customer value propositions.

• Communicate product strategy, priorities and decisions clearly, manage risk and keep cross-functional teams aligned.

• Share your expertise and contribute to a collaborative, outcome-focused product culture.

Who we’re looking for

• Significant product management experience in a digital, media, marketplace or similarly customer-focused business

• A proven track record of shaping product strategy and taking products from discovery through to delivery, launch and continuous improvement

• Strong commercial acumen, with the ability to connect customer needs to business value and identify opportunities to improve product performance and growth

• A data-informed approach to decision-making, using customer insights, market trends, competitor analysis and product performance to guide priorities

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience working across engineering, design, sales, marketing, customer operations and analytics

• Experience launching and optimising customer-facing products in a complex environment, balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

• The ability to create clarity, manage risk, prioritise effectively and keep cross-functional teams focused on shared outcomes
