Senior Technical Product Manager

Scott's Cheap Flights is a company that prioritizes data as a core product driver. They are seeking a Senior Technical Product Manager to lead a cross-functional team in developing high-quality datasets that support their core products, ensuring efficiency and resilience in data acquisition and processing.

Responsibilities:

• Take ownership of the product data acquisition strategy and data processing roadmap; supporting the parallel build of a new system to replace the current
• Establish baseline measurement across our data funnel — coverage, pipeline health, and data quality — so future architecture and business decisions are based on value and cost
• Drive architecture that enables efficiency — a single-record architecture that's durable and observable
• Make data usable, not just available — You'll push toward a dynamic system that learns and adapts based on market trends and real consumer demand
• Serve internal customers so downstream teams have one trusted source to build against
• Build Going's long-term data acquisition strategy — diversified, cost-efficient, and resilient to any single vendor's disruption
• Turn our data caching and curation layer into a plug-and-play foundation that can onboard any future data source
• Make the data platform the compounding advantage behind Going's product — the thing every team builds on, not a shared dependency people work around

Requirements:

• You're legally authorized to work in the United States and able to work US-hours
• 5–8+ years of product management experience, with significant time owning data platform, data infrastructure, or data products
• Systems & Data Fluency: Comfort reading API specs, writing SQL, working with complex JSON/XML schemas, and discussing architecture (ETL/ELT pipelines, caching strategies, data lineage and provenance, metadata management) with senior engineers as peers
• Exposure to data quality, normalization, or golden dataset patterns
• Experience establishing measurement baselines before re-architecting or setting targets — you diagnose before you build
• Comfortable owning vendor/supplier relationships and contract negotiation, including cost-vs-coverage tradeoffs
• Track record navigating ambiguity while still shipping durable, well-governed systems
• Clear, async-first communicator — comfortable setting direction for a dedicated engineering team while working across technical and non-technical partners
• Travel/aviation data expertise: GDS feeds, OAG/Cirium APIs, fare buckets and cabin mapping, IATA/ICAO codes
• Prior experience designing internal data products or operating within a Data Mesh architecture
• Prior experience designing internal data products or operating in a data mesh model
• Experience with event-driven architectures, low-latency edge caching, and scaling systems for real-time demand spikes
