About The Position

Product Management at Capital One is a booming, vibrant craft that requires reimagining the status quo, finding value creation opportunities, and driving innovative and sustainable customer experiences through technology. We believe our portfolio of businesses and investments in growth and transformation will result in a company with the scale, brand, capabilities, talent, and values to succeed as the digital revolution transforms our society and our industry.

About the Team
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the end-to-end vacation rentals experience at Capital One Travel. This is a dual-mandate role: on one side, you will craft the best-in-class booking experience for cardholders searching for vacation rental properties; on the other, you will build the tools and systems that enable us to access the best inventory at the highest margin. You will own both the consumer UX and the host/supply-side platform, ensuring that the experience for property hosts is as seamless and compelling as the experience for travelers. This role sits at the intersection of product, engineering, design, and commercial strategy. You will partner closely with business development and commercial teams to ensure that the products you build directly enable the onboarding of high-quality properties and drive favorable unit economics. You will support the vacation rentals P&L and own the technical roadmap, translating business objectives into product strategy and shipping outcomes that move the needle. We are building in an AI-first environment, and we expect this person to be a hands-on practitioner—not just someone who talks about AI, but someone who actively uses AI tools to prototype, validate, and accelerate product development.
