FLEX Senior Manager, Product Analyst

Marriott•Bethesda, MD

15d•$53 - $78•Hybrid

About The Position

The Senior Manager, Product Analyst (FLEX) serves as a strategic connector between business stakeholders, empowered product teams, technology partners, and deployment teams to advance the successful delivery, adoption, and measurable value of enterprise capabilities across Marriott's Global Revenue Strategy (GRS) initiatives. Operating within GRS's Product Operating Model (POM), the role helps agile teams uncover the greatest areas of leverage and measure the value they create. Today, this role translates business needs into clear requirements, supports solution delivery and deployment, coordinates testing and user acceptance, drives issue resolution, and enables operational readiness across GRS products and platforms. As GRS matures under POM, the role increasingly drives product success by analyzing product, portfolio, and value‑stream performance to inform strategy, prioritization, and investment decisions, defining and evolving outcome‑based metrics (e.g., OKRs, value, flow), building dashboards that surface actionable insight, and measuring adoption and business outcomes rather than output alone. The Senior Manager supports product discovery and evidence‑based decisioning, surfacing opportunities for experimentation, contributing to testable hypotheses, and helping teams focus on the highest‑value problems. The role partners closely with Product Managers, Business Owners, Technology teams, and Continent stakeholders to document business processes, ensure consistency and quality of product data and definitions, and produce clear, executive‑ready narratives that explain insights, trade‑offs, and implications. The position requires strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills, along with the ability to navigate complex stakeholder environments, manage competing priorities, and align solutions to business objectives and desired outcomes. It operates flexibly across products, platforms, and transformation initiatives, supporting both strategic and tactical delivery as GRS priorities evolve and the POM scales from baseline to scale to expand.
