Kindred is a members-only home swapping platform that unlocks the ability to live a travel-rich lifestyle through the power of
community. By exchanging primary residences with trusted peers, renters and owners alike can match with Kindred spirits and
explore new destinations without breaking the bank.
Kindred is revolutionizing the “third option” of travel accommodation, compared to short-term rentals and hotels. Since launching
in 2022, Kindred has grown to a global community of 300,000 members across 150+ cities and puts home swapping on the map as a
radically more affordable, responsible, and connected way to travel.
To support that momentum, Kindred has raised over $150M in capital from some of the most credible investors in Silicon Valley,
including Index Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, New Enterprise Associates, Bessemer Venture Partners, Caffeinated Capital, Elad
Gil, and founders of companies like Opendoor, Figma, ClassPass, and more.
Kindred’s co-founders are proven leaders from the early team at Opendoor ($15B+ exit), who have each built and scaled products
that today generate $1B+ annual revenue combined.
We’re looking for the world’s top builders, executors, and believers to help us make travel more meaningful.

We're looking for a Staff Product Manager to join our Supply & Inventory team.
This role sits at the intersection of behavioral product design, marketplace economics, and growth. You'll work directly with your
team to understand what drives — and blocks — members from hosting their homes, and build the product systems that unlock supply
at scale. This means going deep on one of the most nuanced challenges in our marketplace: building hosting habits in members
who've never considered opening their home to others.
While this role begins with a focused mandate on hosting supply and inventory, Kindred PMs grow with the company. We expect the
right person to develop deep expertise here and, over time, may take on other high-priority product focus areas as our team and
roadmap evolve.
