Staff Product Manager, Hotel Onboarding & Connectivity

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Product Manager, Hotel Onboarding & Connectivity based in Switzerland.

Lead the product strategy for a global hotel onboarding and connectivity platform that is transforming how accommodation inventory reaches travel businesses and new distribution channels. You will own the end-to-end experience through which hotels join the platform, from large-scale partner integrations and hotel chain connections to self-service onboarding for independent properties. Your central goal will be to accelerate the addition of bookable rooms while maintaining quality, reliability, and operational efficiency. You will define the product vision and roadmap, prioritize connectivity partnerships, and lead a dedicated squad of engineers and a designer. Working closely with Operations, Growth, and Marketing, you will remove onboarding bottlenecks and build scalable solutions for a rapidly evolving travel ecosystem. This is a highly hands-on role in a fast-moving, AI-focused environment that values autonomy, experimentation, and measurable outcomes.

• Own the product strategy, vision, and roadmap for hotel onboarding and connectivity, ensuring priorities support business goals and customer demand.

• Drive the primary success metric: increasing the number of bookable rooms added per day while maintaining high standards of quality and reliability.

• Develop and optimize onboarding journeys for different hotel segments, including large hotel chains, independent properties, and hotels joining through connectivity partners.

• Build and improve self-service onboarding experiences, aiming to enable independent hotels to become ready for sale in under 10 minutes.

• Identify, evaluate, and prioritize connectivity partners and hotel distribution integrations based on customer demand, commercial opportunity, and potential inventory growth.

• Lead a dedicated cross-functional product squad of approximately five engineers and one designer, providing clear direction and ensuring delivery against the roadmap.

• Collaborate closely with Operations, Growth, and Marketing to streamline hotel acquisition, onboarding, activation, and ongoing connectivity.

• Identify recurring onboarding and integration challenges and address them through scalable product capabilities, automation, and improved workflows.

• Make product decisions that reduce the time, cost, and complexity associated with each new hotel or partner integration.

• Explore and apply AI-powered tools and automation to accelerate product development, improve operational efficiency, and create better onboarding experiences.

• Monitor product performance, analyze results, and use customer and operational insights to refine priorities and improve outcomes.

• Navigate an evolving travel distribution landscape, including emerging AI-driven channels and new ways for hotels to reach customers.

• Work with a high degree of ownership, making timely decisions, testing ideas, and taking responsibility for the commercial and operational impact of product outcomes.

Requirements:

• Proven experience leading a product area across engineering, design, Growth, and Marketing, including influencing stakeholders and teams without direct managerial authority.

• Demonstrated success building and scaling products where growth depends on connecting multiple external partners, suppliers, or businesses.

• Experience improving partner onboarding, integrations, or activation processes to make each subsequent connection faster and more efficient.

• Strong product strategy and roadmap management capabilities, with the ability to connect individual initiatives to measurable business outcomes.

• Commercial product judgment and experience making decisions that influence business performance, ideally including pricing, packaging, monetization, or revenue-related considerations.

• Ability to understand complex industries quickly, identify key challenges, and develop a clear product perspective within a short period.

• Strong problem-solving skills, with a focus on addressing recurring operational challenges through scalable product solutions rather than repeated manual intervention.

• Experience working closely with engineers and designers, translating business objectives into clear priorities and actionable product direction.

• A data-driven approach to product management, with the ability to define success metrics, evaluate performance, and make informed prioritization decisions.

• Strong interest in AI and automation, with practical experience using AI tools in product work and identifying opportunities to apply them to operational challenges.

• Comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with limited bureaucracy, high autonomy, and direct accountability for results.

• Excellent communication, collaboration, and stakeholder-management skills.

• Experience scaling partner onboarding within a delivery marketplace, two-sided platform, or another partner-driven ecosystem is particularly relevant.

• Experience in hotel distribution or travel technology is an advantage, but not required.

Benefits:

• Remote working opportunity across Europe.

• Hybrid working option in selected locations, including Barcelona, Dublin, London, and Palma de Mallorca.

• Significant ownership and autonomy over product strategy, roadmap, and execution.

• Dedicated engineering and design resources to support product delivery.

• Opportunity to shape a product team and its ways of working as the business grows.

• Fast decision-making environment with limited bureaucracy and room to experiment.

• Hands-on exposure to AI tools, automation, and emerging AI-driven travel distribution channels.

• Opportunity to build technology for a large, global travel market and work with international travel, technology, and fintech partners.

• Career development opportunities within a growing, globally distributed technology business.

• Collaborative environment with experienced colleagues across international teams.
