The team continually seeks effective ways to enhance our competitive advantage by providing customers with unlimited choice, ease of use, and value.

• Develop travel product service standards and collaborate with internal and external partners to meet them, including service level agreements with suppliers.
• Maintain effective relationships with hotel and flight suppliers to achieve shared goals.
• Champion the customer by representing diverse needs through research and data across different holiday types.
• Identify opportunities to expand our product offering, including improvements and new additions.
• Build business cases for initiatives, demonstrating commercial viability.
• Communicate effectively with technical product managers to define project scope and effort.
• Maintain a proactive, can-do attitude and work efficiently in a fast-paced environment.
• Use customer insights to inspire product improvements, balancing customer and commercial needs.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver results.
• Communicate effectively across all management levels.

Desirable but not necessary:
