We bring innovative technology and distribution solutions to partners across the world, powering travel partnerships at scale through access to one of the industry's most comprehensive travel supply sets. Within this space, our Post-Booking Servicing team focuses on everything that happens after a traveler books: modifications, cancellations, refunds, relocations, and the tools and notifications that keep partners, travelers, and suppliers aligned when plans change. This role is centered on the lodging vertical, with a strong emphasis on API-driven servicing capabilities, partner self-serve tooling, and reducing the cost and friction of post-booking events. The Role As a Product Manager III on the Post-Booking Servicing team, you will own product strategy and execution for the capabilities that manage a booking's lifecycle after confirmation. You will work at the intersection of partner needs, operational realities, and technical delivery to build products that make cancellations, refunds, relocations, and disruption handling faster, more transparent, and less dependent on manual intervention. This role is ideal for a product manager who is energized by operational complexity, has strong instincts for API product design, and can translate messy real-world servicing scenarios into clear, scalable product solutions.
