Own the connectivity roadmap: Define and drive the strategy for how Engine integrates with hotel supply at scale. That means PMS partnerships (think: Hotel Key and beyond), real-time availability pipelines, and the APIs that make instant group booking a reality rather than a manual slog.
Drive hotel response rate to zero friction: Today, some of the highest-volume hotel partners respond to RFPs at single-digit rates. You'll build the product strategies and integrations that change that math and do it at scale.
Architect platform-level thinking: Design connectivity infrastructure that can support not just internal Groups workflows, but potential B2B API offerings that extend Engine's reach into the broader travel ecosystem.
Lead cross-functional alignment: Partner with Groups Contracting, Engineering, RevOps, and external supply partners to surface bottlenecks, prioritize the highest-leverage opportunities, and ship solutions that compound over time.
Bring AI into the mix: Identify where intelligent automation and AI-assisted workflows (e.g., document interpretation, RFP matching, contract comparison) can accelerate cycle times and reduce manual overhead.
Requirements
Experience: 8+ years in product management, with meaningful experience building platform or connectivity products at scale. Background working with APIs, integrations, or supply-side infrastructure is strongly preferred. Exposure to travel, hospitality, or adjacent industries is a plus but not required.
Technical depth: You don't need to write the code, but you need to speak the language. You're comfortable in rooms with principal engineers and external technical partners, and you know how to translate complex systems constraints into clear product decisions.
Builder's instincts: You've operated in environments with real ambiguity and know how to define a problem before you solve it. You can build a standalone business case, a roadmap, and a working relationship with a supplier partner, often in the same week.
Transformational mindset: This role exists to change the foundation of how group travel gets booked. We're not looking for someone to optimize around the edges. We want someone who sees what the system could be and has the conviction and skill to get there.
Stakeholder range: You're as comfortable in a product review as you are in a partner negotiation. You bring structure to cross-functional chaos without slowing things down.
Benefits
Compensation: Competitive base pay tied to role and experience, with opportunities for bonuses, commissions, and equity.
Environments for Success: Different roles have different needs in terms of the environments that drive success which is why we have a hybrid-hub model. Whether you are in one of our amazing offices or fully remote, we’ll make sure you have what you need to succeed.
