Responsibilities

Own the 3V product portfolio. Define and communicate strategy across PriceEye, DemandView, Iris, the PriceEye Analytics Pyramid, and the emerging AI-driven capabilities. Balance near-term customer commitments with longer-term architectural investments.

Engage hands-on with the product. Use 3V products in realistic workflows, review prototypes, participate in evaluation efforts, and partner directly with engineering on technical decisions. Maintain the technical credibility needed to lead in a deeply technical product domain.
Maintain architectural discipline. Champion clean separation between AI-driven semantic capabilities and deterministic pricing systems in product reviews, customer conversations, and design decisions.

Uphold the quality bar. Set and maintain the standards required for customer trust in airline retailing, where reliability and accuracy define whether a product becomes critical infrastructure.
Develop the team. Coach PMs and product-adjacent engineers on the trade-offs that matter. Hire for both judgment and execution.
Communicate effectively to executive and customer audiences. Translate 3V’s product and architectural choices into clear commercial impact for ATPCO leadership, shareholder carriers, and the broader market.
