Senior Product Manager

About Pearl

Founded in 2013, Pearl is a ratings and standards company building the national standard for home performance. Pearl SCORE™ rates every single-family home in the U.S. across five key pillars — Safety, Comfort, Operations, Resilience, and Energy — so homebuyers, homeowners, and real estate professionals can understand how a home performs in daily life.

Today, the value of a home is judged by its location, size, and aesthetics— but these factors overlook the home’s most important function: safeguarding the comfort, well-being, and finances of the people inside. Most American homes underperform in these regards because home performance is simply not on our radar. We can’t see it, quantify it, or put a value on it. Pearl aims to change that by making home performance a central part of how we view and value our homes.

We are not a home inspector, a contractor, a real estate platform, or a green-certification program — we rate homes against a transparent, evidence-based standard so that home performance becomes visible, measurable, and valuable in the real estate market.

As a Certified B Corporation, we're accountable not only to our shareholders, but also to the homeowners and communities we serve. For more information, visit pearlscore.com. 

About the role

Pearl PRO is the professional side of Pearl's platform: the web and mobile app that real estate agents use to bring Pearl Score into their listings, client conversations, and daily workflow. As Pearl expands its footprint with agents and brokerages, Pearl PRO is a critical growth engine and one of the company's most active areas of product investment.

The Senior Product Manager for Pearl PRO will own the product end to end - strategy, roadmap, discovery, and delivery - for Pearl's real estate professional-facing app across web and mobile. Reporting to the SVP Product, this is a full-stack product ownership role: you are the single accountable owner for Pearl PRO's outcomes, not one contributor among several on a shared roadmap.

We're looking for someone who is genuinely energized by building consumer-grade digital products - clean, intuitive, fast experiences - and who wants to apply that bar to a professional, workflow-heavy user base. Real estate agents are busy, mobile-first, and unforgiving of friction; they'll only adopt a tool that fits how they already work and clearly makes them more effective with clients. This role requires a sharp sense for professional user needs alongside the product craft usually reserved for consumer apps.

You'll work closely with a dedicated designer and engineering lead/squad on Pearl PRO, plus Data Science & Standards (to translate Pearl Score and scoring concepts into clear, trustworthy agent-facing experiences) and Business Development/Customer Success (to keep the roadmap grounded in what's winning and losing deals with brokerages and agents).

What you'll do

Product strategy & ownership

• Own the Pearl PRO product strategy and roadmap, in partnership with the SVP Product.
• Be the single point of accountability for Pearl PRO's outcomes - adoption, engagement, and agent/broker satisfaction.
• Make and defend prioritization calls, balancing agent needs, business goals, and delivery realities.

Consumer-grade product craft

• Set and hold a high bar for UX quality across both the Pearl PRO web app and mobile app - the app should feel as considered as the best consumer products agents use every day, not like enterprise software.
• Drive end-to-end discovery: research, define, and validate solutions before committing engineering resources.
• Write clear specs and requirements that let design and engineering move fast without re-litigating scope.

Deep user understanding

• Build and maintain a sharp, current understanding of real estate agents' workflows, incentives, and daily pressures - from listing prep through closing.
• Talk to agents and brokers regularly; treat direct user contact as a core part of the job, not a periodic research exercise.
• Translate agent and broker feedback into a roadmap that earns trust and habitual use, not just feature checkboxes.

Cross-functional execution

• Partner directly with engineering to move initiatives from discovery through delivery without a middle layer of coordination.
• Work with Data Science & Standards to keep Pearl Score and related data concepts accurate and legible to a professional (non-technical) audience.
• Partner with BD and Customer Success so Pearl PRO's roadmap reflects real signal from the field - what's helping close deals and what's causing churn.

AI enablement

• Identify where AI can meaningfully improve the agent experience inside Pearl PRO (e.g., faster listing prep, smarter client-facing summaries, workflow automation).
• Use modern AI tools to accelerate your own discovery, documentation, and delivery work.

What we are looking for

• 5+ years of product management experience, with a track record of owning a product or major surface end to end (not just contributing to one).
• Demonstrated ability to build and ship consumer-grade experiences across both web and mobile.
• Genuine interest in and aptitude for understanding professional/prosumer users and their workflows - real estate experience is a strong plus, but a demonstrated pattern of getting deep on a professional user base (e.g., another vertical SaaS or marketplace) is also valued.
• Comfortable operating as an individual-contributor product owner: no team to delegate to, high autonomy, high accountability.
• Strong product discovery instincts and customer research skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to align design, engineering, and go-to-market stakeholders without formal authority over them.
• Comfortable in a fast-moving, top-down-influenced startup culture with evolving priorities.
• Fluency with modern AI tools and a point of view on applying them to product work.
• Alignment with Pearl's mission and values.

Why work at Pearl?

• We are a mission-driven company: we love what we do and the impact we are making.
• Impact. Everything you do here will matter. Your opinion and contributions will make a big difference to the future of this company and our mission of making home performance matter.
• Flexibility. We are 100% remote - work where you feel comfortable.
• Environment. We value candor, excellence, and collaboration while fostering creativity and camaraderie. We are supportive and genuinely enjoy celebrating each others’ wins!
• Ownership. You will hold broad responsibilities with high autonomy in a fast-paced, evolving startup world.
• Equality between people. We support diversity, championing our differences, and most importantly, learn from one another. Pearl is an equal opportunity employer, and candidates from all backgrounds and life experiences are encouraged to apply.
