You will drive the creation of strategic roadmaps, foster influential stakeholder relationships, and elevate the travel experience through meticulous execution and leadership.
In this role, you will:

Define new areas of investment by writing effective product requirement documents and conducting industry research to assess the product's viability, business impact, and technical feasibility
Stay ahead of market trends and emerging technologies in relevant fields of commerce, payments, and travel
Drive clarity in ambiguity, breaking down long-term visions and complex ideas into short-term milestones and concrete deliverables to test, learn, and iterate quickly
Define the right measures of success, set ambitious goals, and build an insight-driven roadmap to hit target outcomes
Collaborate closely with UX to design world-class experiences and guide trade-off decisions based on core customer needs, technical feasibility, and speed to market
Monitor and evaluate product performance, and relentlessly iterate to improve outcomes through controlled A/B or multivariate experimentation
Participate in engineering and architecture design and review processes to ensure solutions will meet current and future product needs without accumulating technical debt
Take ownership of managing complex stakeholder landscapes, balancing diverse interests to drive successful product outcomes on complex, cross-functional teams

Proficiency in running experiments (A/B, multivariate, etc.), analyzing results, and translating insights into clear and defensible product decisions
Exceptional communication and collaboration skills across disciplines and levels. You're able to inspire, not just influence
High degree of curiosity and desire for continuous improvement. You dig beneath the surface of data to uncover insights, ask the right questions, and push beyond "good enough" to improve product quality and performance
Strong user experience sensibility. You pay close attention to details and take pride in product craftsmanship
Ability to think strategically and execute methodically with a strong bias for action. You find creative, scrappy solutions to move forward when you hit road blocks
