Job description

Senior Product Manager, Flights Inventory

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own our Flights Inventory and Connectivity stack. You will lead the development of our flight supply platform, focusing on robust connectivity with airlines and travel partners. This is a technical-mandate role: you will drive strategy for flight search capabilities, Look‑to‑Book management, and the underlying pricing engine. You will own the roadmap for sourcing and pricing inventory, and optimize revenue through intelligent provider routing and supply sourcing.

This role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, customer service and commercial strategy. You will partner closely with airline partnerships and commercial teams to ensure our supply platform unlocks the best inventory and drives favorable economics. We are building in an AI‑first environment, and we expect this person to be a hands‑on practitioner who actively uses AI tools to prototype, validate, and accelerate product development.

What You’ll Do

• Connectivity & Availability: Own the product strategy for end‑to‑end flight connectivity, ensuring high availability, low latency, and comprehensive coverage across our global airline and supply partners.
• L2B & Pricing Engine: Drive the roadmap for our flight search capabilities, Look‑to‑Book management, and pricing engine logic to maximize conversion and margin.
• Revenue Optimization: Develop and execute sourcing and revenue optimization strategies through intelligent provider routing, NDC integration, and supply chain efficiency.
• Performance Metrics: Define and track critical operational and business KPIs, including price competitiveness, availability, L2B, and system latency.
• AI‑Agent Development: Work within and help shape our AI agent environment—leveraging autonomous and semi‑autonomous AI workflows to accelerate development cycles, automate repetitive product and operational tasks, and augment decision‑making.
• Cross‑functional Leadership: Collaborate with engineering, data science, and airline partnerships to ship high‑impact features on a predictable cadence, translating ambiguous technical and business problems into clear product requirements.

What We’re Looking For

• Delivers Business Results: Focuses on key inputs for the business and delivers them with the right quality and timely fashion. Comfortable tracking and supporting a P&L and making tradeoffs that optimize long‑term value.
• Problem Solving: Drives toward solutions thoughtfully and creatively. Navigates complex, multi‑stakeholder environments and finds the path forward.
• Technical Acumen: Understands modern tech platforms and engages credibly with engineering partners, participating in architectural discussions and evaluating technical tradeoffs.
• AI Fluency & Hands‑On Prototyping: Has direct, hands‑on experience using AI‑powered development tools—specifically Claude Code, Claude Cowork, or similar platforms (e.g., Stitch by Google)—to rapidly prototype and validate product ideas; comfortable working in an AI agent environment where autonomous workflows are part of the product development toolkit.
• Commercial Sense: Goes beyond feature delivery to understand the economics behind the work, including fare strategy, inventory sourcing and presentation, and the relationship between customer experience and business value.
• Dealing with Ambiguity: Thrives with limited information, takes initiative, frames problems with available context, and iterates toward clarity.
• Customer First: Deeply understands travelers’ needs when searching for and booking flights—from cognitive load in search results to confidence at the point of purchase; shows passion and care for the work and people involved.
• Teamwork: Excellent collaborator across product, engineering, design, and commercial teams; puts the team before the individual and operates with a community mindset.
• Simplicity: Finds elegant, simple solutions to complex business and organizational challenges; resists over‑engineering.
• Communication: Clearly articulates priorities, strategies, and tradeoffs to stakeholders—in a concise, direct, and actionable manner.

Basic Qualifications

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in a quantitative field (Statistics, Economics, Operations Research, Analytics, Mathematics, Computer Science, etc.) or Business or Marketing; the required degree will be obtained on or before the scheduled start date.
• OR Bachelor’s degree in any field and at least 4 years of Product Management experience.
