Are you a hands-on Product Manager with a background in complex technical products looking for your next challenge? Do you believe mastering data is key to building an incredible product, passionate about building a backend platform that powers millions of users and decisively impacts their experience?

We are looking for a Product Manager to join our Meta group and lead key cross-team initiatives that power the core systems at Vio.com. You will play a central role in shaping and executing initiatives that span infrastructure, data, and machine learning — owning products that are deeply technical, API-based, and data-driven. These initiatives have a direct impact on both our internal teams and end-user experience and are essential to scaling our platform with speed and reliability.

As a Product Manager in the Meta group, you will work closely with engineers, analysts, and other product managers across multiple teams, driving alignment and clarity in highly complex spaces.

• Translate complex, ambiguous challenges into clearly scoped initiatives that deliver concrete outcomes

• Collaborate closely with other product managers, analysts, engineers, data scientists, and leadership to align priorities and ensure group-level strategy is translated into impactful work

• Be a hands-on PM: dive into data, write and run SQL queries, read documentation, QA features, and debug with engineers when needed

• Drive product decisions using data, insight, and clear rationale — not opinion or noise

• Balance new product development with ongoing improvements and technical sustainability

• Constantly look for ways to increase the clarity, efficiency, and impact of how cross-team work is coordinated and delivered

Who you are:

• You preferably hold a BSc or MSc in Computer Science or another technical field or have experience as a data analyst, developer/engineer or data scientist

• Extensive experience working for a product company in relevant roles. the most recent of which is within Product Management

• You have experience working in high-performing cross-functional teams that have built and deployed large scale backend services and machine learning based products

• You have a successful track record of shipping applications and services

• You know how to work with data, utilize it, and enable your product to produce it

• You know how to inspire, motivate, and support a team to get things done

• You know how to influence decision-making at all levels within an organization and in a variety of contexts

• You have experience with data-driven product development and worked according to agile methodologies, with a passion for solving problems and translating solutions into requirements that your team can execute

• You always strive for clarity and transparency -an excellent communicator who can effectively collaborate both with engineers and business stakeholders

• You are motivated by optimizing technology to improve the travel industry.
