What You'll Own

This is a strategy-first Product Manager role focused on the core digital experience for our travel customers — from discovery and booking through pre-departure and the in-trip mobile experience.

• Own business outcomes, not feature lists: define success metrics before building and own the result with your cross-functional pod.
• Become the subject-matter expert for the brand’s customer journey and technology stack.
• Proactively find and scope opportunities that move key business metrics with clear tradeoffs.
• Use data and analytics (and AI-assisted workflows) to inform decisions and measure impact.
• Explore and adopt cutting-edge tooling (including AI) to accelerate discovery, prototyping, and delivery.

What We're Looking For

You’ll be most successful if you bring product strategy, technical fluency, and customer advocacy.

• Initiative & ownership
  • You identify opportunities without waiting to be handed problems.
  • You care about the customer and the brand you represent.
• Business and brand depth
  • You become a true expert in your product area and can demo features on the spot.
  • You understand the underlying systems and platform constraints.
• Customer advocacy
  • You represent the voice of an 18–35 traveler booking group travel via mobile.
  • You gather signals through direct conversation and translate them into product outcomes.
• Strategic confidence & product intuition
  • You form a point of view, back it with evidence, and present well-scoped options with tradeoffs.
• Technical fluency
  • Comfortable making production code contributions and using AI for high-fidelity prototyping.
  • Minimal dependency on engineering for early exploration.
• Agility
  • Move from problem to production in days or weeks; iterate with A/B tests and rapid experiments.
• Influence & presence
  • Build trust across stakeholders and present with clarity and conviction.

The Environment

You’ll sit in a combined Product, UX, and Engineering organization supporting the brand as your primary product area. Teams operate in small pods (one Product Manager, one UX Designer, two Engineers) with equal ownership — the expectation is to contribute directly, not coordinate from the sidelines.

This is a hybrid role based out of the Cambridge, MA office with a minimum of three days per week in-office.

Experience & Background

• 4+ years product management in consumer-facing digital products
• Demonstrated track record launching work tied to business metrics and achieving outcomes
• Hands-on data comfort — you proactively find answers using analytics and AI tools
• Experience making direct code contributions (not just writing specs)
• Comfortable running A/B tests and shipping iteratively
• Active day-to-day use of AI/productivity tools
• Proven ability to build trusted relationships with non-technical stakeholders
• Mobile app experience is a strong plus
• Travel, e-commerce, or high-consideration consumer purchase experience is a strong plus

Compensation & Benefits

• Compensation range: $90,000–$130,000 / year (based on experience)
• Competitive medical, dental, and vision plans
• 401(k) with company match (25% match on contributions described by client)
• Four weeks paid vacation in year one, 10 paid holidays, 2 floating holidays
• Flexible spending accounts (dependent care, healthcare, commuter)
• Fertility and family-building support
• Wellness benefits including yearly fitness reimbursement
• Employee discounts, professional development programs, and sabbatical eligibility
• Robust Employee Assistance Program and frequent learning/social events

Why You’ll Love Working Here

You’ll join a purpose-driven, international team that values continuous learning, fearless innovation, and mutual support. The work is high-impact, cross-functional, and mission-oriented — you’ll help shape experiences that introduce travelers to the world.
