Job Level
About the role
- Own a product area or squad end-to-end, shipping valuable user-facing work every single week
- Drive product discovery with an obsessive focus on our travel advisors - through user calls, async feedback loops, and using the product yourself
- Write exceptionally clear PRDs, slicing initiatives into focused, shippable parts that deliver value fast without overworking the team
- Operate as the connective tissue between users, engineering, design, and go-to-market, bringing clarity, context, and ruthless prioritization
- Use AI (and help us innovate how we use AI) across research, iteration, planning, and execution
- Ensure tight feedback loops and empower teammates to move fast with autonomy and confidence
- Constantly level up how we work: from process to quality bar to culture of ownership
- Deeply understand and track our product quality - raising the bar proactively, not reactively
- Make sure nothing falls through the cracks - we value people who hold it all in their head and notice what others miss
Requirements
- Clear thinking under pressure; an ability to simplify chaos and get to the root of the problem
- Extreme ownership - you take responsibility for the outcome, not just your part of it
- Obsessive attention to detail; you’re the kind of person who notices the edge case no one else brought up
- Strong product instincts, with a feel for what great looks like (or hunger to get there)
- Excellent communication - crisp writing, contextual thinking, and ability to bring stakeholders along without over-managing
- Comfort with pace - we ship weekly and expect product to lead the prioritization and scoping that makes that sustainable
- A builder mindset - bias to action, comfort with ambiguity, and hunger to learn and improve rapidly
Benefits
- Competitive salary
- Equity
