You’ll own critical areas like search, recommendations, and personalization , directly influencing core marketplace metrics like Booking Conversion Rate and booking volume . You’ll partner with Product and Engineering, but you won’t depend on them to define your roadmap—you’ll create it, validate it, and ship it .

You’ll spend most of your time

• Identifying high-impact opportunities
• Rapidly prototyping and experimenting (often using AI tools)
• Deploying ideas into production
• Measuring and iterating based on real business outcomes

• Drive measurable lift in Booking CVR, rebooking, and engagement
