Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a closely related technical discipline
• 3–5 years of experience in a technical product management, business analyst, or delivery lead role within a software engineering team
• Demonstrable understanding of modern web application architecture — front-end frameworks (React, Next.js preferred), RESTful APIs, and cloud infrastructure concepts (AWS preferred)
• Proven ability to write detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and product requirements documents that engineering teams can build directly from
• Hands-on experience facilitating agile ceremonies (Scrum or Kanban) and working within JIRA, Confluence, or equivalent tooling
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify technical concepts for non-technical business stakeholders and to translate business requirements into actionable engineering tasks
• Experience working alongside or managing contractor/vendor engineering resources
• Comfortable operating in a lean, fast-paced team environment where autonomy and initiative are expected

Nice To Haves

• Experience with CMS platforms (Drupal 9/10 preferred) and an understanding of headless or decoupled CMS architectures
• Familiarity with AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, CloudFront, Lambda) at a conceptual or hands-on level
• Exposure to e-commerce, booking engines, or hospitality/travel technology platforms
• Experience working with geographically distributed engineering teams (e.g., LATAM-based developers)
• Knowledge of QA automation practices and integration with CI/CD pipelines
• Product management certification (CSPO, PMI-ACP, or equivalent)

Responsibilities

• Maintain and prioritize the Digital Technologies product backlog; translate business goals from commercial product managers into clear epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria that the engineering team can act on.
• Own sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives; remove impediments and maintain team velocity and predictability across a lean FTE team supplemented by contractors.
• Act as the primary technical liaison to business product managers in Marketing, Revenue Management, and Guest Experience; bridge communication between commercial stakeholders and engineering to ensure shared understanding of priorities and trade-offs.
• Lead discovery sessions, gather functional and non-functional requirements, produce PRDs and technical specifications, and validate requirements against the existing Drupal CMS, cloud infrastructure (AWS), and booking/commerce platforms.
• Develop and maintain a rolling 90-day digital product roadmap; coordinate release schedules, dependency management, and stakeholder communications around upcoming deliverables.
• Apply working knowledge of web technologies (React, Next.js, REST APIs, cloud services) to challenge and validate technical approaches; conduct basic feasibility assessments and participate in design reviews without owning architectural decisions.
• Coordinate contractor onboarding and ramp-up as the team scales for project surges; track capacity against committed scope and flag risks early.
• Define and track delivery KPIs (velocity, cycle time, defect rate, uptime); facilitate QA automation integration with engineering and surface insights to leadership.

Benefits

• Contributing to one of the most exciting luxury travel brands in the world.
• Work at the intersection of technology and hospitality, shaping digital guest experiences across a growing superyacht fleet.
• Real influence over how the team delivers — partnering with talented engineers, working with world-class business leaders, and building a modern digital capability from the ground up.
• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a globally recognized brand that values craftsmanship, precision, and excellence in everything it does.
