Job description

Hi! I'm Steven , Lead Product Manager at WeTravel

I'm hiring a Lead PM to own Trips, the domain where every trip comes to life. Ten thousand travel businesses build, present, and sell their trips with WeTravel, from boutique agencies to student travel operators running hundreds of departures a year, which makes this both the surface their teams spend most of their working day in and the first thing their travelers ever see. You'll own it end to end: the trip page they sell with, and the content and AI engine that crafts it, and the content specialists who build our library, who will report to you.

About WeTravel

Travel gives people new experiences and brings them together, sometimes in life-changing ways. That's especially the case for group travel and multi-day travel (think of a 7-day safari in the Serengeti, a 5-day scuba diving trip in the Galápagos, or a multi-week pilgrimage) where travelers get to really immerse themselves. Passionate travel organizers make this magic happen, and WeTravel is here to support them.

Multi-day travel businesses use WeTravel as their end-to-end operating system : publishing trip offerings, generating and converting leads, processing payments around the world, paying suppliers and vendors. WeTravel helps them grow sales, save time, and save money, so they can focus on delivering incredible bucket-list experiences.

WeTravel is a 400+ person company representing more than 50 countries. We combine global diversity with the agility and closeness of a much smaller team. More than 90 colleagues are based in our Amsterdam office in Rokin, including the entire Product Org and most of our Engineering team.

You will have fun innovating fast with brilliant, low-ego colleagues. Our clients are also easy to reach, which helps us stay close to their needs and build with them.

Financially, WeTravel is highly secure and growing fast, with 50 to 100 percent year-over-year growth depending on the metric. This gives us a strong foundation to build from.

About the Role

This is the domain where our biggest bet is playing out. Building and selling a great multi-day trip is a lot of work: crafting a story worth booking, assembling the content that tells it, and presenting it all in a page a traveler trusts. Our goal is to cut that turnaround down so organizers get back to their client faster, convert more of them, and sell more trips. It also has to hold up as they grow, because a boutique agency selling bespoke trips and a student travel operator running hundreds of departures are building on the same tools. The way we get there is great technology in the hands of organizers and their teams. You will own that end to end, the experience and the engine behind it.

What you'll work on

WeTravel Trips give organizers the tools to create proposals, detailed itineraries and a high-conversion booking experience, while giving them time back to grow and operate their business. We're now looking for a Lead PM to take this domain through its next phase of growth, and make WeTravel the best software for travel businesses to build, present and sell their trips. Our success in this domain will drive the growth of our organizers by expanding in several areas:

• An integrated building experience that helps organizers find the right content and craft the right trip for the right travelers.
• Shared libraries that pay off most when a team works from them, so every proposal that leaves the company is consistent, beautiful, and unmistakably theirs, whoever wrote it.
• AI-enabled tools to imagine and create new trips, produce world class content, and optimize their sales funnel.
• Trip pages organizers can publish and promote wherever their travelers are.

1. 1/ Designing the trip page and selling the trip Think of the trip page as the product detail page of the travel industry. It is where an organizer's work becomes something a traveler wants, understands, and buys.

   • Dynamic Trip Builder: Intuitive tools for organizers to create their trip offerings, in the languages their travelers read, on WeTravel and beyond it.
   • Day by day itineraries: the plan that makes a trip feel real before anyone has booked it, built fast and kept accurate as the trip changes.
   • High converting pages and proposals: whether an organizer publishes a trip for the world or sends a tailored proposal to one client, the result has to look professional, capture travelers' imaginations, and turn interest into a booking.
   • Mobile app for travelers: once they have booked, travelers carry the trip page in their pocket, with everything they need before and during it.

2. 2/ The content and AI engine that turns hours of work into minutes

   WeTravel Library: a curated library of properties, activities, and reusable content on its way to 20,000 properties, so organizers build with high quality content.

   The organizer's own library: their photos, their descriptions, their reusable blocks, so a growing team sells in one voice instead of rewriting content from s
