If you’re a Director of Product Management who is excited to shape the API strategy for entirely new lines of business — and to lead a talented team doing it — we’d love to talk.

We are looking for a Director, Product Management to lead the Rapid API product strategy across four high-growth verticals: Vrbo (vacation rentals), Car, Activities & Experiences, and Ground Transportation.

• You will directly manage four Product Managers — each responsible for a dedicated API domain (Vrbo, Car, Activities, and Ground Transportation) — providing coaching, career development, and clear accountability frameworks
• You will develop close relationships with key B2B partners to understand their needs, participating in QBRs, API design reviews, and escalations for tier-1 accounts
• You will work together with your engineering teams to oversee end-to-end API delivery — from discovery and API design through to launch, partner onboarding, and lifecycle management
• You will build great relationships with Business Development, Partner Success, Engineering, and commercial teams to translate partner needs into sequenced, impactful product bets
• You will work with our analytics team to define and track success metrics — partner adoption, Gross Booking Value, API reliability — and hold the team accountable to measurable outcomes
• You will identify new API monetisation opportunities across emerging lines of business, working with Business Development and Finance to build the commercial case
• You will care deeply about your products, advocate for them with senior leadership, and champion a high-ownership, outcomes-oriented culture within your team

• You have 10+ years of B2B product management experience, preferably in the travel industry
• You have 7+ years’ experience working on API or platform products, with a deep understanding of RESTful / GraphQL API design and developer experience
• You have 5+ years’ people management experience, including hiring, coaching, and developing Product Managers
• You are excited by the accountability that comes with leading a large, multi-vertical portfolio of API products and a team of Product Managers
• You have outstanding influencing skills, including experience working within a large, globally distributed matrix organisation
• You speak knowledgeably with engineers about a problem space, can communicate user stories, and know how to build products incrementally
• You can identify the best business opportunities across Vrbo, Car, Activities, and Ground Transportation verticals, make clear prioritisation calls, and devise a compelling strategy
