Job description

Wego is the most popular travel search engine in the Middle East and among the leading players in online travel in Southeast Asia. Dual-headquartered in Singapore and Dubai, Wego receives over half a million travel search requests per day through its website and iOS and Android mobile apps.

THE ROLE

In this role you will be responsible for managing the product strategy, development, optimisation and growth of the allocated product across all the markets in which Wego operates. We have the ambition to be the best in class travel super app in MENA & globally where we have millions of daily active users.

Directly reporting to the VP of Product, you will determine our product strategy in this area and lead the cross functional teams that are building these solutions.

You will identify and understand customer pain points, determine objectives, and propose solutions to products that delight them. You will align and work with internal stakeholders and track performance against your set objectives.

You will work with technology, product, marketing & commercial teams to operationalise your products.

This is a critical and strategic role given the demand we are seeing as part of the “revenge travel” in the new normal of the travel industry --- definitely exciting times.

We treat & expect product managers to be the “CEO’s of their product” where you are the glue between technology, design, commercial, marketing and operations.

If you love creating products from insights, driving the direction once our products get to our users hands, connecting the dots and discovering trends to see the real story behind numbers, all the while working in a casual start-up atmosphere, we would like to invite you to join our product team.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Product Strategy - Critically analyse products in various markets, competition, opportunities we can capitalise on.
2.

Leverage learnings from quantitative trading—like rapid experimentation, backtesting strategies, and market microstructure insights—to continually refine product performance. Monitor, analyze, and interpret large data sets to uncover patterns, correlations, or anomalies that inform user-facing features.
3. Product Analytics - “Roll up sleeves attitude” with ability to analyse funnel conversion, A/B test performance, and performance of product features in production.

7. Communication Skills - Strong, concise communication skills who can explain complicated concepts to a 5 year old (literally) and recommend well-thought solutions. Craft clear, concise explanations of complex quantitative concepts—such as algorithmic models or real-time pricing—so that non-technical stakeholders can understand them. Speak up, challenge the norm, provide constructive feedback, and influence outcomes effectively with stakeholders of all seniority levels.
8.
