Senior Product Manager - Hosto Agent

Hosto.ai is the AI cohost for Airbnb hosts. It answers guests in the host's voice at 2am, syncs calendars across channels, fills empty nights, and runs cleaners. Five million owner-operators are running short-term rentals on the side of full-time lives — and every tool built for them so far has helped them work faster, not actually do the work.

Hosto is the bet that they want their lives back instead of a better dashboard.

You'll own the Hosto Agent — the product surface that decides whether the bet works. Today it reads listings, drafts replies, and answers guest questions.

Your job is to make it the thing a host actually trusts to run the property: the first screen they open in the morning, eventually the only one they need.

In this role, you will:

• Own the Hosto Agent roadmap end-to-end — from "the agent finds money in the first two minutes after sign-up" to "the agent runs the property without the host opening the app for a week"
• Design conversational UX, not screens — most product decisions happen inside chat: when the agent acts vs. asks, what gets escalated, how memory works across sessions and properties
• Own the new-host moment — design the post-signup flow where the agent surfaces real money before the host has touched a setting. Activation is the lever everything else hangs on
• Set the agent's autonomy ladder — Autopilot, Co-pilot, Radar. Get this wrong and hosts churn or panic. Get it right and Hosto replaces a $250/month human cohost
• Ship weekly with one engineering pod — write specs that go straight to code. No slide decks in between Talk to hosts every week — sit on demo calls, watch session replays, run async feedback loops
  
  

Requirements

Interested in remote work opportunities in Product Management? Discover Product Management Remote Jobs featuring exclusive positions from top companies that offer flexible work arrangements.

• 5+ years of product management, with at least 2 owning a 0→1 product end-to-end
• You've shipped LLM-powered features in production — not prototypes, not demos. You can talk about prompt budgets, eval loops, autonomy guardrails, and what breaks at scale
• You think in funnels — activation, trial, conversion, retention. You can build the model in a spreadsheet without help
• Strong opinions about agentic UX — formed from actually using the current generation of AI tools, not from reading about them
• You write specs that ship — short, decision-dense, no decoration
• Quantitative literacy — comfortable in a spreadsheet, comfortable reading SQL or asking for the right query
• Native or near-native English — the customer is the US solo host, and product copy lives inside the agent
  
  

Non-negotiables:

• Daily use of AI tools in your own workflow (Cursor / Claude Code / equivalent), not as a novelty
• Will run user calls themselves, not delegate them
• Comfortable making product calls in a startup where the roadmap rewrites mid-sprint

This role isn't for you if:

• You need a team of PMs, designers, and analysts before you can ship
• You think AI is a feature to add, not a UX paradigm to design around
• You've spent the last three years inside a clean process at a 1000+ person company
• "Talking to users" feels like other people's work
