About The Position

Expedia Group is a global travel company that connects travelers, partners, and advertisers through its consumer brands, B2B network, and travel advertising business. The Global Financial Technology organization is a strategic partner for all finance functions, ensuring finance initiatives and dependencies are delivered on time and within budget. The Transactional Accounting and Financial Data Engineering team is leading the transformation of Expedia Group's accounting infrastructure from fragmented, legacy transactional accounting processes to a unified platform capable of daily financial processing at scale.

Requirements

8+ years of product management experience, including significant work on complex, data-intensive, or platform-oriented products; finance, accounting, or enterprise systems experience strongly preferred.
Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous, cross-system business requirements into clear product specifications, including experience working with legacy system rationalization or platform migration.
Proven track record partnering with finance, accounting, or similarly regulated business functions to align technical solutions with business and compliance requirements.
Experience driving cross-functional alignment across engineering, business, and operations stakeholders to sequence delivery and manage dependencies on multi-quarter transformation initiatives.
Familiarity with AI-driven systems, tools, or workflows, and the ability to identify and shape opportunities where AI/ML can meaningfully improve enterprise operations, including safely conceiving, aligning, and specifying such capabilities for engineering delivery.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated ability to explain complex technical or accounting concepts to both technical and business audiences, including finance leadership.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on familiarity with Oracle Cloud ERP (General Ledger, Financial Accounting Hub, Financial Gateway) or comparable enterprise accounting platforms.
Understanding of accounting principles, financial close processes, revenue recognition, or reconciliation workflows in a high-volume, multi-entity, multi-currency environment.
Experience defining product strategy for platforms that replace or consolidate legacy systems, including familiarity with SOX controls, audit requirements, and enterprise change management standards.
Experience conceiving and shaping AI/ML-driven product opportunities in a regulated or precision-critical domain, with attention to explainability, auditability, and trust.
Experience operating in a build-to-operate delivery model, transitioning platform components from build/test/go-live phases into steady-state operations.

Responsibilities

Own the product vision and roadmap for the Accounting Hub and Financial Data Engineering Platform.
Partner with Accounting, Controllership, Tax, FP&A, Treasury, and Audit to validate that transformed accounting outcomes are equivalent to — or improve upon — legacy behavior, and to align stakeholders on transformation sequencing and risk.
Define how the platform and its released capabilities can be leveraged to accelerate adjacent business initiatives, reducing time-to-market for teams that depend on transactional accounting infrastructure.
Identify, shape, and build the business case for applying AI/ML to transactional accounting operations — such as intelligent anomaly detection, financial completeness monitoring, or a queryable knowledge repository for accounting rules — and drive these opportunities from concept through organizational alignment to engineering-ready specification.
Define success metrics and measurement frameworks for platform transformation initiatives, tracking progress against legacy elimination, automation of manual touch points, and reduction in operational overhead.
Lead cross-functional alignment across Engineering, Accounting, and Product teams to sequence delivery, manage dependencies, and ensure the platform scales to support new business lines and initiatives without proportional increases in operational complexity.
Own end-to-end product delivery — from problem definition and requirements through launch, adoption, and iteration — partnering with engineering teams operating in a build-to-operate model.
