## Job description

We’re Making Travel Effortless. Join Us. Travel is essential, whether it’s visiting family, starting a new adventure, or taking a career defining trip. Yet today, over 4 billion airline passengers rely on tech that hasn't changed in decades. At Duffel, we’re rebuilding the infrastructure underpinning the global travel industry. Backed by top-tier investors (Benchmark, Blossom, Index Ventures, and Kima Ventures) and born out of Y Combinator (S18), we’re simplifying complex systems to build the future of travel.

Product Product at Duffel Flights is the heart of Duffel's flagship product. Through a single, beautifully designed API, our customers search across hundreds of airlines (NDC, GDS, and LCC), book and generate commission, sell ancillaries like bags and seats, and manage changes and cancellations — all backed by our own agency infrastructure, IATA/ARC accreditation, and ticketing authority.

## The Role

As Product Manager for Flights, you'll tackle a deceptively hard challenge: take a fragmented, decades-old industry with hundreds of airlines and turn it into one clean, reliable, developer-friendly product. Working at the intersection of engineering, design, commercial, and airline partnerships, you will contribute to the roadmap for a core area of our surface and own how it gets built and delivered.

What You’ll be doing:

- Shape and execute the core Flights roadmap, from search and booking to ancillaries: balancing customer needs, commercial impact, and technical reality.
- Partner closely with engineering counterparts to break down roadmap items, drive sprint delivery, and balance tech debt with new feature investments.
- Conduct continuous discovery with customers and developers, translating complex industry friction into well-prioritised product requirements.
- Deeply analyse data, debug API integrations, and define clear success metrics to ensure features deliver real value, not just releases.
- Collaborate with airlines and suppliers to transform varied legacy systems and content into consistent, reliable user experiences.

What we're looking for:

- 3–5 years of product management experience with a proven track record of shipping technical products end-to-end.
- Domain expertise in airline systems (NDC, GDS, LCC, PSS, or similar) and comfortable working directly with APIs and data models.
- Strong data-driven mindset, capable of making sound, evidence-based prioritisation calls even with incomplete data.
- Exceptional cross-functional project management and communication skills to simplify complex technical systems for non-technical stakeholders.
- Collaborative mindset with a strong point of view, willing to get your hands dirty while remaining open to feedback.

## What you'll be working on

- Translating Duffel’s overarching strategy and customer feedback into a clear, actionable roadmap alongside the Group PM.
- Designing consistent developer experiences over complex, multi-supplier airline architectures.
- Establishing and monitoring key metrics to measure feature adoption and continuous platform improvements.
- Aligning third-party supplier roadmaps with Duffel's strategic goals to unlock new capabilities first.
- Communicating weekly progress, delivery status, and priorities to key internal and external stakeholders.
