Product Manager II, Lodging Connectivity Platform

Introduction to the Team:

We are looking for an established Product Manager II who will be instrumental in shaping and implementing the product vision for a Lodging Connectivity developer platform.

This role focuses on innovating and evolving our supply connectivity products by crafting best‑in‑class API developer tools and experiences. You will deeply understand the customer journey and help make it simple and intuitive for developers to integrate with Expedia Group.

You will work across product, engineering, operations and marketing teams as well as supply partners to ensure our products not only meet market and developer needs but consistently exceed them with new technology-reinforcing Expedia Group's leadership into a new era of connected lodging supply.

In this role, you will:

* Define and evolve the product vision and roadmap for Lodging Connectivity's developer platform capabilities (user experience, integration tools) in support of connectivity goals.

* Craft end‑to‑end developer experiences inspired by leading API platforms (e.g., clear integration journeys, SDKs, MCP, LLMs) so developers can self‑serve and ship integrations with speed, quality and trust

* Represent the voice of the software developer and connectivity partner through all stages of the product lifecycle, from discovery and design to launch and iteration-grounding decisions in real partner feedback and usage data.

* Own product requirements by translating business and partner use cases into clear, testable specifications

* Drive revolutionary product ideation with constant curiosity and use of emerging technologies

* Drive backlog prioritization and execution using defensible frameworks (e.g., impact/effort, ROI, risk), writing clear user stories and acceptance criteria, and ensuring shipped experiences are robust, secure, and easy to adopt.

* Use data and experimentation to guide decisions, defining and monitoring KPIs/OKRs such as developer onboarding time, integration success rate, partner satisfaction, and API reliability.

* Collaborate with cross‑functional stakeholders (engineering, program management, support, account management, marketing, legal, and compliance) to align strategy, manage dependencies, and deliver integrated solutions.

* Communicate clearly and often, tailoring messages to technical and non‑technical audiences-whether you're reviewing payload designs with engineers, presenting tradeoffs to senior leaders, or walking partners through an integration path.

Minimum qualifications

* 2+ years of product management experience with a bachelor's degree, 0-2 years of product management experience with a Master's degree, or equivalent professional experience.

* Demonstrated experience crafting API products and a strong understanding of developer platforms, or integration tooling such as developer portals, SDKs, webhooks, or sandbox environments, with comfort reasoning about API specifications and common integration patterns.

* Proven ability to collaborate deeply with engineers and technical teams, including reading and discussing API designs,…
