Booking.com’s mission is to make it easier for everyone to experience the world, delivered via our Connected Trip Vision. Our Attractions vertical plays a key role in that vision, and exists in a rapidly evolving global experiences industry.
We are seeking a Product Director to lead, shape, and scale our global Attractions product portfolio. Reporting directly to the Managing Director of Attractions, you will serve as a critical product leader for this vertical, driving overall strategy across traveller acquisition, partner tooling, core platform mechanics, and marketplace dynamics. This role provides an opportunity for fast paced, impactful work and would suit a leader who is looking for a broad portfolio, from customer acquisition, to retention; from CX vision to core systems implementation; from traveller to partner.
Unrivaled Scope & Impact: You won't just optimize an existing funnel; you will define the multi-year product strategy for a product vertical. You will lead a portfolio spanning B2C traveller experiences, B2B partner platforms, and core marketplace architecture.
True Transformation & Leadership: You will inherit an established team of Group Product Managers and Product Managers. Your mission is to raise the craft bar, establish world-class product operating models, and coach senior leaders to reach their potential.
High-Visibility Executive Position: You will work directly with cross-functional leadership—across Engineering, Commercial, Data, Marketing, and Fintech—serving as the primary voice of Attractions product in executive forums.
A Proven Scaler & Portfolio Director: You have led multi-team product organizations in large-scale B2C e-commerce or two-sided marketplace environments. You know how to translate macro commercial ambitions into clear, high-leverage product bets.
A Strategic Integrator: You excel at "connecting the dots"—synthesizing complex, multi-system capabilities into a single, clear and prioritised roadmap that aligns cross-functional stakeholders without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.
A Talent Developer: You are passionate about organisational design, building psychological safety, and coaching GPMs into world-class product leaders.
Driven by Outcomes, Fueled by Data: You bring strong financial and commercial acumen, using experimentation, user research, and domain metrics to guide investments and balance long-term tech health with constant focus on delivering the most critical outcomes and ‘cutting through the noise’. You know when to ‘experiment forward’, and when to make bolder step changes (and manage the associated risks of this approach)

Team: Leading our Product Org as part of a broader Attractions Vertical Management Team
