• Track feature performance post-launch using analytics dashboards and feedback
• Share product updates and key decisions with stakeholders across teams
• Stay aware of app store trends, UX best practices, and guest behavior patterns
• Create clear, insight-driven product briefs that align teams and inform design, development, and prioritization decisions.

Job Requirements: 

• 2–5 years of experience in product ownership or product management, preferably with mobile products 

• Experience collaborating within agile product teams (design, dev, QA, analytics) 

• Familiarity with native app development or mobile platforms (iOS/Android) 

• Ability to translate business goals into user stories and testable requirements 

• Understanding of UX best practices and how to work with design tools like Figma 

• Basic technical literacy (e.g., familiarity with APIs, SDKs, CMS platforms) 

• Clear written and verbal communication skills 

• Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple priorities 

Preferred: 

• Experience in travel, recreation, or consumer mobile apps 

• Familiarity with tools like Jira, Confluence, Contentstack, or Adobe Analytics 

• Exposure to A/B testing, user research, or experimentation practices 

• Comfort working with performance dashboards (e.g., Tableau, Adobe Workspace)
