Responsibilities

You’ll be responsible for the journey that motivates travelers to engage deeply with Tripadvisor through consuming travel guidance and recommendations, planning their trip, using our app, and contributing their perspectives to the community. You’ll define the product strategy across all these areas, working closely with the executive team to align with our overall company strategy.

You’ll also be responsible for setting a compelling strategic vision for more integrated advertising solutions for large travel partners that go beyond display ads and feel native to our web and app UX, while driving material financial performance.

You’ll build, develop, and lead a high-performing team of product leaders, investing in the professional growth of your team so that they invest in theirs – driving execution excellence and accountability, and a strong product culture. We’re reshaping what excellent Product Management looks like within the company and you’ll be an instrumental part of developing a world-class team.

You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional leaders across Engineering, Design, User Research, Data Science, Product Marketing, and Operations to ensure alignment on product priorities, manage prioritization and trade-offs, and deliver successful product launches. You’ll be the champion of well-crafted, high-quality products that are delivered at a timely pace.

You’ll strike a balance between applying a data-driven “test and learn” methodology with an intuitive sense of how to make bold, high-upside bets that are based on an understanding of traveler needs, the competitive market, and emerging technology trends.

You’ll lead regular internal communications with the Executive Leadership Team to update on progress, inform of necessary strategic changes, and evangelize the work of your team.

You’ll represent Tripadvisor and the Traveler product portfolio to external stakeholders.
