As a member of the Product Management team, you will work on a range of complex (and fun!) problems and be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of new product features. You'll partner with technology, operational, and functional business leaders to gain insights into the needs of the business.

We are looking for people who love complex problems with real-world impact, are capable and willing to roll up their sleeves, and are excited about digging into challenging issues and finding solutions.

As a Senior Manager, Product Planning, you will

• Collaborate with internal business stakeholders to formulate and prioritize product development roadmap
• Take the initiative to discover business logic flaws, data imperfections, and potential product enhancements, and drive product improvement
• Translate high-level requirements into detailed development-ready specifications
• Use your knowledge of our products to suggest improvements to product requirements
• Challenge proposed stakeholder solutions and solve the underlying problem
• Monitor and understand the development calendar; always know where your features are in development by working closely with development and QA teams and managing blockers and dependencies
• Manage expectations of product delivery scope and timelines with internal stakeholders by driving trade-off discussions and communicating accurate timelines to all stakeholders
• Know how the platform works and be the expert that helps us get the most out of existing capabilities
• Collaborate on all business readiness activities, such as product demos, documentation, acceptance testing, and rollout
• Support the day-to-day operations by triaging support issues

About you

• Prior technical product management or software engineering experience (ideally a mix)
• Prior experience in the travel industry is a significant plus
• Ability to drive projects to completion with little guidance
• Analytical ability, demonstrated by being able to quickly grasp and break apart complex concepts into logical, understandable, and sequenced development steps
• Technically oriented with strong attention to detail. You must understand the product and business logic, data sources and uses, technical limitations, and feature inter-dependencies
• Ability to quickly learn about new technologies and gain a deep understanding of existing products
• You probably added requirements to JIRA tickets this week and used Postman to work with an API
• You might have dug around in some logs via Splunk or Kibana to answer a research question this month
• Yesterday, you might have popped open Chrome developer tools to look deeper into a UI problem
