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.
