Responsibilities
Identify high-impact traveler and partner problems that can be unlocked by AI, and frame them as clear, testable product bets
Rapidly prototype end‑to‑end AI experiences using available LLMs and tools (e.g., prompt design, tool/function calling, retrieval, simple UIs) to validate value and feasibility
Evaluate new capabilities from frontier labs and internal platforms, and translate them into concrete product concepts, demos, and proof‑of‑concepts
Partner closely with engineering, data science, and design to take successful prototypes to production, including instrumentation, experimentation, guardrails, and ongoing quality improvements
Define reusable patterns and primitives (e.g., explanations, preview/approve/undo flows, context continuity) that can be adopted across teams and surfaces
Establish clear success metrics and experimentation plans for AI features, and use data and user feedback to guide iteration and prioritization
Communicate clearly with senior leaders and cross‑functional partners, bringing structure and clarity to ambiguous technical and product spaces
Share learnings, playbooks, and best practices so that prototyping and AI‑first thinking become part of how product teams across Expedia Group operate
Qualification
Required
10+ years of product management experience building consumer or platform products, including meaningful work with AI, ML, or technically complex systems
Strong technical depth and experience partnering with engineering and DS/ML teams; comfortable discussing system design, data flows, tradeoffs, and constraints
Hands‑on ability to prototype: capable of using APIs/SDKs from major LLM providers and writing simple code (e.g., Python or TypeScript/JavaScript) to stitch together prompts, tools, and basic interfaces
Proven track record of taking 0→1 product ideas from concept through prototype to launched features, with clear impact on customer and business outcomes
Experience with metrics, experimentation, and evaluation (e.g., A/B testing, success metrics definition, instrumentation, or system reliability)
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make complex technical topics accessible and to drive alignment across senior cross‑functional stakeholders
Preferred
Experience building or shipping AI/LLM-powered user experiences (e.g., conversational agents, copilots, recommendations, search, automation, or decision-support tools)
Familiarity with LLM behavior and ecosystems: prompt engineering, tools/function calling, retrieval/RAG, embeddings, and basic evaluation techniques
Background in software engineering, data science, or ML (professional experience or equivalent technical projects), even if you have primarily worked as a PM
Understanding of trustworthy AI principles, including safety, bias, privacy, and failure‑mode analysis, and how to apply them in product design
Experience building frameworks, tools, or platforms that scale across multiple teams or products in a large organization
