Job description

Overview

Carnival UK is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead a portfolio of technology products—driving innovation and operational excellence across our guest and colleague experiences. You’ll own end‑to‑end outcomes across multiple products (e.g., Seamless Travel, Finance Systems, Hotel Management System), shaping strategy, aligning delivery, and ensuring every iteration delivers measurable value for the business and our guests.

Key Responsibilities

• Multi ‑ Product Ownership: Oversee several products simultaneously, managing roadmaps, interdependencies and clear value‑based priorities (revenue, compliance, user experience including guest, crew and shoreside colleagues).
• Strategy to Delivery Bridge: Align business objectives with delivery teams; translate strategy into pragmatic, outcome‑focused plans to drive the end‑to‑end product lifecycles.
• Value & KPIs: Define and track KPIs that evidence impact and return on investment (e.g., time saved, revenue uplift) and continuously refine based on insights.
• Stakeholder Updates: Present succinct, high‑impact updates to senior stakeholders (e.g., VPs), enabling fast, informed decisions.
• Collaboration: Work with multiple business and partners including commercial, operations, privacy, legal and technology teams to ensure products integrate cleanly and deliver tangible benefits.
• Team Structure: Lead through influence with Product Owners reporting to you, and report into a Director for alignment and support.

Positioned within our internal structure from CUK15 (entry level) to CUK1 (Brand President), this role is classified as a CUK06, offered as a full-time position, on a permanent basis. We offer hybrid work including up to two days from home.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Product Manager (beyond a pure Product Owner remit)
• Strong product management craft (roadmapping, prioritisation, product discovery/delivery), with confidence presenting to senior leaders.
• Familiarity with operational/financial reporting systems and digital/CRM integrations (digital backgrounds are welcome with strong product experience).
• Comfortable adapting as products move from build to BAU.

About You: A Catalyst for Change

You bring fresh ideas, a customer centric mindset, and the resilience to navigate a dynamic environment. You’re collaborative, commercially astute and able to influence and engage senior stakeholders while keeping teams focused on outcomes.
