What you'll do

  • Lead and grow a team of Technical Product Managers and Integration Analysts, setting the standard for technical excellence and ownership.
  • Define the strategy for partner integrations — how the world's largest ground transportation marketplace integrates with operators across 70+ countries.
  • Turn integration into a competitive advantage by driving automation, slashing time-to-live, and building scalable infrastructure no competitor can match.
  • Own the roadmap end-to-end — make the tough prioritisation calls and deliver features that directly grow inventory and revenue.
  • Lead high-stakes carrier partnerships, engaging C-level stakeholders to scope and deliver integrations that unlock new markets.
  • Challenge the status quo — question existing processes and raise the bar for how integrations are scoped, executed, and measured.

What they require

  • 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years focused on technical or API products.
  • You've owned the full lifecycle of an integration product, not just supported it.
  • Deep technical fluency with APIs: comfortable reading documentation, working through data schema decisions with engineers, and spotting integration edge cases.
  • Experience scoping and delivering B2B integrations with external partners or enterprise clients, managing complexity across technical, commercial, and operational dimensions.
  • Fluent stakeholder communicator: translating complex technical concepts for executive stakeholders and engaging with equal depth on implementation detail with engineering teams.
  • Structured and delivery-oriented: you bring clarity to ambiguous scopes and drive execution with rigour.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Preferred: Familiarity with ground transportation data standards or experience in travel tech, mobility, or logistics.
  • Preferred: Ready to lead: you may have already managed a small team of technical PMs or analysts. If not, you're excited to start. You know how to coach, unblock, and grow people while staying close to the work.
  • Preferred: Exposure to high-load, high-availability platform environments.

Benefits

  • Make a global impact. Help shape how millions of people discover and book ground transportation worldwide.
  • Own your work. Take responsibility from day one and see the direct impact of your contributions.
