What your impact will be

• Own the backlog and end-to-end delivery for one or more supply and connectivity product areas, including channel connectivity, extranet and internal supply tools, serving our B2C brands and supporting strategic B2B initiatives.
• Work closely with engineering teams to translate business requirements into clear specifications.
• Manage day-to-day prioritisation and trade-offs to keep delivery moving.
• Run continuous discovery with internal supply and operations stakeholders, as well as connectivity partners.
• Drive your team's prioritisation and roadmap with clear reasoning and foundations that facilitate alignment across your area and the company.

Your expertise:

• Analytical and data-driven, comfortable with SQL or able to learn it quickly.
• Curiosity about hotel supply and distribution and a clear desire to specialise in the technical, supply-facing side of product.

Desirable:

• Exposure to hotel distribution technology, including channel managers, GDS, OTA integrations and property management systems.
• Experience with supply-side, platform or internal-tooling products rather than consumer UX.
• Proficiency in extracting insights from data.
• Deep curiosity and an interest in keeping up to date with the latest trends and news in the hotel business.

Other perks:
