About The Position

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own our Flights Inventory and Connectivity stack. You will lead the development of our flight supply platform, focusing on robust connectivity with airlines and travel partners. This is a technical-mandate role: you will drive our strategy for flight search capabilities, L2B management, and the underlying pricing engine. You will own the roadmap for how we source and price inventory, and optimize revenue through intelligent provider routing and supply sourcing. This role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, customer service and commercial strategy. You will partner closely with airline partnerships and commercial teams to ensure our supply platform unlocks the best inventory and drives favorable economics. We are building in an AI-first environment, and we expect this person to be a hands-on practitioner who actively uses AI tools to prototype, validate, and accelerate product development.
