We're looking for a hands-on Product Manager to take ownership of a travel retail product that enables readers to discover, explore, and book premium travel experiences directly from beautifully crafted editorial content.

• Balance editorial and commercial priorities, driving alignment across teams
• Provide clear stakeholder updates and influence senior decision-makers with confidence

This isn't a delivery-only role. You'll need the confidence to shape the future, challenge assumptions, and put strategic guardrails in place.

Requirements:

You'll thrive here if you bring:

• Senior experience in Product Management

• Strong background in e-commerce, travel, subscriptions, or marketplaces
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders
• A data-savvy, experimentation-driven mindset
• Experience managing vendors, APIs, or travel booking systems (a plus)
• Ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced, changing environment

You'll be shaping a growing commercial vertical with visibility across the business - influencing how millions of readers discover and book unforgettable travel experiences. You'll have the chance to refine strategy, elevate the product, and drive revenue impact in a meaningful, measurable way.

If you're excited to lead a high-impact product at the intersection of content and commerce, apply now and help redefine how audiences book their next adventure.
