About the Role
This is a hands-on Senior Product Manager contract requiring someone who can quickly understand a complex product and technical landscape and take ownership with limited supervision. You will work across engineering, commercial, finance and analytics teams, delivering an established roadmap while managing experiments, platform integration and competing technical priorities.
Responsibilities
- Act as the link between engineering, commercial, finance, analytics and other product teams, translating business needs into clear product requirements.
- Own priorities and trade-offs across new product features, technology upgrades, operational issues and regulatory evidence requirements.
- Deliver improvements to promotion eligibility and display, including offers linked to hotel bookings, bundled products and loyalty membership.
- Lead the integration of promotional offers into a new booking platform, ensuring discounts, pricing and financial reporting remain accurate.
- Manage A/B tests and experiments across website and app journeys, using results to determine whether changes should be launched, adjusted or stopped.
- Coordinate seasonal campaigns and promotional products, including major retail events such as Black Friday.
- Identify dependencies and risks early, working across multiple teams to keep delivery on track.
- Work closely with engineers on APIs, Back End services and data flows, making informed product and implementation trade-offs.
Desired Skills and Experience
- Strong Senior Product Management experience delivering complex digital products across multiple teams.
- Good technical understanding of APIs, Back End services and data flows.
- Experience translating commercial requirements into clearly defined product and technical requirements.
- Strong experience of A/B testing and managing digital experiments.
- Understanding of pricing, ideally within an e-commerce, travel, promotional or transactional environment.
- Excellent prioritisation and delivery planning skills.
- Strong commercial acumen and the ability to balance customer, technical and business requirements.
- Confident stakeholder management across engineering, commercial, finance and analytics teams.
- Ability to quickly learn a complex product domain and operate effectively with limited supervision.
- Clear communication, sound judgement and the ability to escalate risks and dependencies early.
Summary of the Best Candidate
The ideal candidate will be an experienced Senior Product Manager with a strong background in complex digital or E-commerce products. You will be comfortable working with technical teams and will have sufficient API and Back End understanding to discuss requirements, data flows and implementation trade-offs credibly with engineers.
You will also bring practical experience of A/B testing and pricing, alongside strong commercial judgement. Experience within promotions, loyalty, E-commerce or travel would be highly beneficial, but the ability to quickly understand a complex domain, manage multiple stakeholders and take ownership of delivery will be particularly important.
