KAYAK, part of Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG), is a leading travel search engine. With billions of queries across our platforms, we help people find their perfect flight, stay, rental car and vacation package. We're also transforming business travel with a new corporate travel solution, KAYAK for Business. As an employee of KAYAK, you will be part of a travel company that operates a portfolio of global metasearch brands including momondo, Cheapflights and HotelsCombined, among others.

About the role

We are seeking a Technical Product Manager to lead the development and evolution of its experimentation platform. This is a role with global scope and clear accountability for the roadmap, prioritization, adoption, and success of a strategic platform that supports A/B testing today and will expand over time to broader testing use cases across the company. You will work closely with Engineering, Data, and Product partners and help a small cross-functional team deliver a platform that enables faster, more trusted decision-making across KAYAK.

Note, this position is required to work from our Concord, MA office 3 days per week.

Responsibilities

  • Own the roadmap for KAYAK's experimentation platform, aligning priorities with business goals and platform needs.
  • Define and communicate a clear product direction, from current A/B testing capabilities to broader testing use cases over time.
  • Partner closely with Engineering, Data, and Product teams to shape features, requirements, and implementation plans.
  • Translate user needs and ambiguous asks into clear product requirements and well-scoped initiatives.
  • Define success metrics, drive adoption, and continuously improve the platform through data and partner feedback.
  • Improve experiment setup, execution, monitoring, analysis, and decision-making workflows across the platform.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in product management, technical product management, or platform product management within a technology environment — equivalent experience, training, or transferable skills are considered.
  • Strong knowledge of experimentation methodologies, including A/B testing concepts, statistical foundations (significance, power, confidence intervals, multiple comparisons, and sequential testing), trade-offs, and common pitfalls.
  • Experience owning complex products or platforms with multiple collaborators and technical dependencies.
  • Strong product and project management skills, including roadmap definition, prioritization, and cross-functional execution.
  • Comfort working with engineers and data practitioners on technically complex topics.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • High ownership, sound judgment, strong analytical skills, and the ability to influence senior leaders without direct authority.
  • Experience reading and writing SQL.

Skills

Bonus Points (not Required):

  • Hands-on familiarity with the statistics underpinning experimentation — power and sample-size planning, confidence intervals, multiple testing / false discovery, and sequential or group-sequential analysis.

  • Focus on mental health and well-being:
    • Company-paid therapy sessions through SpringHealth
    • Company-paid subscription to HeadSpace

  • Paid volunteer time
  • Focus on your career growth:
    • Development Dollars
    • Leadership development
    • Access to thousands of on-demand e-learnings
