Principal Product Manager, Real Estate.

 

We're building marketplace sustainable ecosystems that millions of people depend on every month – to buy and sell cars, find homes, land jobs, and trade secondhand goods. It's commerce that matters: safe, smart, and environmentally responsible.

 

We do this with courage to innovate, commitment to outcomes, collaboration across 50+ nationalities and 7 markets, and a customer-led approach that puts real people first. Add a desire to win – and you get a culture that's ambitious, fast-moving, and built on trust.

 

Our brands – including AutoTrader, OLX, Otomoto Property24, and more – are loved by millions. And we're backed by Prosus, one of the world's largest tech investors.

 

The Opportunity

 

OLX is looking for a Principal Product Manager to drive high-impact, zero-to-one initiatives across our Real Estate business. This is a builder role focused on creating new value - not a people-management role. It's well-suited for someone who thrives on building new things, moving fast, and navigating a complex organisation to turn ideas into impact.

 

You'll lead 2–3 special initiatives in parallel, each scoped over 6–24 months. These could range from developing AI-driven capabilities and new monetisation models to building new product features that drive growth. We're hiring for mindset, not a fixed checklist.

 

You'll join the product leadership team and contribute to strategic direction across the area. The focus is on building, pushing, and delivering new value, complementing a team that excels at running and optimising the core business. 

 

This role reports to the Director of Product and can be based in Spain, Portugal or Poland. Remote work is possible within these countries.

 

What You'll Do

 

• Lead zero-to-one initiatives from concept to market validation to scaled delivery - own the vision, strategy, and execution.

• Build with AI as a daily lever - prototypes, agent-augmented workflows, AI-powered discovery and experimentation.

• Run lean experiments to prove product-market fit fast, with minimal bureaucracy.

• Present and defend your concepts to senior stakeholders - building alignment through evidence and conviction.

• Navigate a matrixed organisation: identify opportunities to move quickly, build coalitions, and drive progress without waiting for perfect alignment.

• Own the business case: connect product decisions to revenue and margin impact.

• Raise the bar for product craft across the team - set the standard through your work, share methods and examples, and act as a role model for what high-quality product thinking looks like in practice.

 

What We're Looking For

 

• 8+ years of product management experience with a proven track record of building and launching new products from zero to one - not just optimising what exists.

• AI native - you build with AI in your personal and professional life. 

• Entrepreneurial DNA - uncomfortable with "business as usual," driven to create new value.

• Fast and execution-driven - moves at pace, ships quickly, and creates momentum rather than waiting for perfect conditions.

• High product craft - rigorous discovery, lean experimentation, strong narratives, data-driven decision-making.

• Strong executive presence - able to defend a concept to senior directors and build alignment.

• Business and financial acumen - unit economics, P&L thinking, ROI-informed decisions.

• Ability to drive multiple initiatives in parallel with minimal oversight.

• Marketplace or two-sided marketplace experience is a plus.

• Comfort working in cross-functional, multicultural teams across multiple markets.

• Willingness to travel approximately every two months.
