Principal Product Manager, Groups Connectivity

Engine is a travel and spend management platform transforming the way businesses manage travel. As the Principal PM for Groups Connectivity, you will own the connectivity roadmap and drive strategies for API integrations and supplier relationships to enhance group travel booking efficiency.

Responsibilities:

• 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:

• 10+ 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
• Technical depth: You don't need to write the code, but you need to speak the language
• Builder's instincts: You've operated in environments with real ambiguity and know how to define a problem before you solve it
• Transformational mindset: This role exists to change the foundation of how group travel gets booked
• Stakeholder range: You're as comfortable in a product review as you are in a partner negotiation
• Exposure to travel, hospitality, or adjacent industries is a plus but not required
