Naval Architect - Weight Control and Hydrostatics

Group Product Manager - Flights - Post-Booking & Engagement

Role Overview:

We began by taking hotel bookings online over 20 years ago and weve been shaping the travel industry ever since. Today, were building a platform that connects all parts of the trip - from accommodation to transport, flights, tickets, tours and much more!

From our hubs in Manchester, London, Amsterdam our Trips Business Unit helps people get where they want to go, anywhere in the world. Whether customers want the freedom of a car, the convenience of a flight, the ease of a taxi or the economy of public transport, we make it all possible.

Our team is passionate about helping people travel. They see challenges as opportunities. And they’re always ready for change.

A trip usually starts with a flight. The Flights teams mission is to offer a wide selection of flights, great value for money and the easiest end-to-end booking experience. The customer journey is not limited to the moment of booking. After this, many things can happen: check-in time, flight delays, or changes in plans. Or, perhaps, a future trip to plan.

The Group Product Manager for the Post-Booking and Engagement Track will play a key role in creating a seamless flight experience beyond the book process, empowering our bookers to change their bookings online, positioning our app as a real travel companion that will help the travelers on the journey to and from their destination and creating a long-term relationship with customers, giving them reasons to return to our website.
