TravelPerk is building and developing a best-in-class SaaS product and we’re looking for a Senior Product Manager with a strong technical background, who wants to join our journey.

As a Senior Technical Product Manager at TravelPerk you’ll take ownership for one or more areas of our product or platform. Together with your team(s), you’ll build an inspiring, insight-driven strategy to help scale our internal platforms and services for continued organisational growth.

What You’ll Do

• Insight generation: Using quantitative and qualitative insight generation to understand the biggest opportunities for impact, sharing these with stakeholders and turning them into strategies
• Articulate and communicate the context and vision for your product areas, in a way which motivates your teams and brings clarity to your stakeholders.
• Define platform strategies that communicate why a problem needs tackling, how it is going to be tackled and the metrics used to judge impact.
• Work closely with internal teams, including developers, Engineering Managers and operations. Ensure problems are fully understood, and that implementation plans effectively solve those problems
• Answer incoming questions about your area of the product and provide relevant training, including facilitating the creation and maintenance of proper product documentation.
• Serve as a product evangelist and subject matter expert to the technical/developer community.
• You’ll practice a servant-leadership style to help your teams achieve a high-performing state. You’ll shield the makers from external distractions and optimise their environment and ways-of-working for enhanced velocity, impact, product mindset and a great culture.
• Help us grow a 7-star product organisation. You’ll constantly be learning to develop your personal craft, and to uncover (and spread) new ideas and inspiration among your colleagues.
• You’ll also mentor and train fellow product managers and associates. You may also take on line management responsibilities for a small group of PMs.

What You’ll Need

We need someone who has a proven track record of bringing incredible products to life with a data driven and user centric approach. Your background will include:

• A proven track record of 5+ years at an Internet-based company, with at least 2 years as a Product Manager. Web development experience is valued but not a necessity.
• Comfortable with concepts related to the tech stack and demonstrated ability to navigate build vs buy decision making.
• Great understanding of how to build software products with a demonstrated ability to break down complex projects into smaller milestones adding incremental value.
• Demonstrated ability to learn multiple functional areas of business – engineering, design, finance, or data
• Demonstrated ability to figure out solutions to hard problems with many constraints, using sound judgement to assess risks, and to lay out your proposal in a well-structured, data-informed, written narrative.
• Proven ability to engage with Engineers, Data/Data Science, Customer Support, Legal, Finance/Accounting and other key stakeholders.

What do we offer?

• Competitive compensation including equity in the company
• Generous vacation days so you can rest and recharge
• Health perks such as private healthcare or gym allowance depending on your location
• “Flexible compensation plan” to help you diversify and increase the net salary
• Unforgettable TravelPerk events including travel to one of our hubs
• Mental health support tool for your wellbeing

Our Vision is for a world where TravelPerk serves as the platform for human connection in-real-life (IRL). We take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in-person 3 days a week. As such, this role requires you to be based within commuting distance of our London hub. We fundamentally believe in the value of meeting in-real-life to improve connectivity, productivity, creativity and ultimately making us a great place to work.

For certain roles, we can help with relocation from anywhere in the world, English is the official language at the office. Please submit your resume in English if you choose to apply. Do not forget to submit an updated portfolio and/or resume.

TravelPerk is a global company with a diverse customer base-and we want to make sure the people behind our product reflect that. We’re an equal opportunity employer, which means you’re welcome at TravelPerk regardless of how you look, where you’re from, or anything else that makes you, well, you.
