This role sits within the product organization supporting a global travel marketplace and focuses on building developer-friendly integrations that help partners create smoother travel experiences, unlock new revenue, and deepen engagement at scale.

The position is centered on four high-growth product areas: Vrbo vacation rentals, car, activities and experiences, and ground transportation. You will own the product direction across these domains while managing a team of four Product Managers, each responsible for one API area. The role combines strategic leadership, people management, partner engagement, and close collaboration with engineering and commercial teams.

• Setting and owning the multi-year roadmap for Rapid APIs across Vrbo, Car, Activities, and Ground Transportation, ensuring the plan aligns with Expedia Group’s B2B growth priorities and partner demand.
• Leading four Product Managers who each own a separate API domain, while providing coaching, development support, hiring input, and clear accountability for results.
• Building strong relationships with major B2B partners to understand their needs, taking part in quarterly business reviews, reviewing API designs, and helping resolve escalations for important accounts.
• Working with engineering teams to guide the full delivery lifecycle for APIs, from discovery and design through launch, partner onboarding, and ongoing lifecycle management.
• Partnering with Business Development, Partner Success, Engineering, and commercial stakeholders to convert partner needs into a sequenced product strategy with meaningful impact.
• Defining and tracking success measures such as partner adoption, Gross Booking Value, and API reliability, then using those metrics to keep the team focused on measurable outcomes.
• Identifying new monetization opportunities in emerging lines of business and working with Business Development and Finance to build the commercial case for them.
• Representing the product portfolio to senior leadership, advocating for the products, and helping foster a high-ownership, outcome-driven team culture.

What the company is looking for

• More than 10 years of B2B product management experience, ideally with a background in travel.
• More than 7 years of experience working on API or platform products, along with strong knowledge of RESTful and GraphQL API design and developer experience.
• At least 5 years of people management experience, including hiring, coaching, and developing Product Managers.
• Confidence handling the responsibility of a large, multi-vertical portfolio of API products and a team of product managers.
• Strong influencing skills and experience working in a large, globally distributed matrix organization.
• Ability to discuss technical problem spaces with engineers, translate them into user stories, and build products incrementally.
• Skill in identifying the best business opportunities across Vrbo, Car, Activities, and Ground Transportation, making clear prioritization decisions, and creating a compelling strategy.

Benefits and culture

• A full benefits package.
• Travel-related perks.
• Generous paid time off.
• Parental leave.
• A flexible work model, supported by office space.
