Skyscanner is a leading global travel search site and app, a place where people are inspired to plan and book direct from millions of travel options at the best prices. We employ over 1000 staff across 11 offices globally, and, having reached market leader status, we were recently acquired by Chinese online travel company Ctrip in a deal valued at £1.4bn. While we remain operationally independent, our acquisition by Ctrip allows us to take the business to the next level of accelerated global growth. It’s a hugely exciting time for Skyscanner and the over 80m people who use us every month. We are unbiased and free, and our secret is in our unique proprietary technology that connects people directly to everything the travel industry has to offer.

Our vision is to be the most trusted and most used online travel brand in the world.

People love travel, but hate travelling. Travel is one of the great joys in life, yet online travel is fundamentally broken. We are here to fix it, with world-class software, and deep empathy for our travellers. At Skyscanner we are dedicated to solving the travel needs of our friends, family, and the world. Our traveller-first approach and award-winning apps and service have made us the #1 independent travel brand worldwide, with over 80 million monthly users across more than 50 countries.

Our Cabin Crew

We hire the best, then get out of their way.

Our 70+ Product Managers come from varied backgrounds and are builders who love to create things and change the world through technology. They are skilled at the Why, the How and the What of making and iterating products to find market-fit. They support each other and help each other grow. They are not purely ‘organizers’, ‘sellers’ or ‘explorers’, though they are versed in all three dimensions. They are multi-faceted entrepreneurs who know how to generate insights, set direction, and get things done in tech & business.

We’re looking for experienced Product Managers who have delivered significant results—launching new features, delivering performance step improvements, and challenging themselves and others to improve their skills. Naturally data-driven, they nevertheless cut through complexity to identify high impact opportunities and simple solutions. As team leaders, they act decisively on these insights and collaborate with colleagues in ways which inspire and motivate. Above all, they are in touch with the end user, working constantly to understand their pain-points and exceed their expectations.

You’ll be an established Senior / Principal Product Manager taking ownership of our affiliate and strategic partner business. Skyscanner partners with thousands of websites and brands across the globe that utilise our content to help their users find great travel deals. We offer a wide variety of products, services, and content that our partners can take advantage of and that comes with comprehensive tracking and reporting products and taking advantage of affiliate networks across the globe, to reach more travellers.

We are looking for a strategic, data-driven self-starter who is comfortable with ambiguity and operating in a fast-paced environment. This person will need to develop a broad vision of how our programs will evolve to reach new travellers and be able to drive these strategic initiatives forward. Great communication skills will be needed in order to keep stakeholders and senior Management looped in. On top of driving the strategic vision and identifying new opportunities, you will need to lead the product and technology roadmaps, working closely with design, commercial, and marketing stakeholders to drive strong business and traveller outcomes. You’ll immerse yourself to fully understand traveller needs across many different touchpoints, driving positive traveller experiences from our partners into the Skyscanner product.
