Product Manager, Advertising

About Skyscanner

Everyone loves travelling, but planning is not without its challenges. That's why we've spent 20 years building tools that turn travel-planning chaos into a breeze. Today, around 100 million travellers count on us every month to skip the whole “47 browser tabs open” phase and find flights, cars, and hotels quickly and easily.

Joining Skyscanner means becoming part of a global brand that's striving to become the planet's go-to travel hack accessible for all.

Our vision? To be the world's number one travel ally. Ambitious? Yes, but, hey, that's what got us here.

Now, we’re on the lookout for a Product Manager, Ads to help us bring that vision to even more travellers. 

About the Role

(Hybrid)

We’re looking for a Product Manager to join our Advertising Team, working within the area of intelligence and automation. We are looking for someone who has delivered results—launching ML models, working with large data and challenging themselves and others to deliver at pace.

Our Product Managers 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 ‘organisers’, ‘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.

Naturally data-driven, they nevertheless cut through complexity to identify high-impact opportunities and simple solutions. 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.

What we value most is autonomy, nimbleness, and delivery of an integrated experience for our travellers. So as a team, we are organised cross-functionally so that we can keep focus on delivering our highest priority business goals. Our squads are empowered to make decisions and figure out for themselves how to tackle our biggest and most complex challenges.
 
Our Product Managers will typically work with one or more squads to deliver work in line with the problem area they work in. Their squad ships daily, tests constantly, and tries to deliver real traveller value every week. This means we look for PMs who thrive on change and are constantly taking on new challenges.

What you'll be doing

Whatever the challenge, our PMs:

• Find the ‘why’ behind the traveller problem.
• Solve for the whole picture – seeing their work through the traveller’s eyes, creating solutions for the entire experience, and thinking beyond its parts.
• Work incredibly hard to keep things incredibly simple.
• Use Lean approaches to break down big ideas into valuable pieces to deliver at fast pace.
• Fail fast and fail often – until they don’t.

About you

• Product Manager experience at a fast-paced software or product-led company
• Understand technical architecture and infrastructure
• Experience making hard, data-driven decisions (incl. A/B testing, User Testing, Analytics, Market Research, Competitor Analysis, Defining Metrics and KPIs)
• Proven track record of managing multiple stakeholders, both internally and externally
• Solid experience developing impactful products through ML and working with large data sets

Desirable 

• A working knowledge of Adtech
• Experience building models for delivery intelligence
