Senior Product Manager (For temp workers)

Role Description

Booking.com’s Cars business unit relies on high-quality, reliable Supply Data to power the entire booking funnel - from search and view to book and post-book experiences - while also ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory requirements and internal financial processes. Supply Data sits at the core of customer experience, commercial performance and operational integrity.

As a Senior Product Manager for Supply Data in Cars, you will ensure continuity and strategic oversight of this critical domain. You are not just maintaining a data roadmap; you are protecting the data foundations that enable customers to confidently discover and book cars, Commercial teams to drive performance, and the company to remain compliant. You will act as the central point of contact across Product, Engineering and Commercial, balancing operational complexity, regulatory risk and business priorities to ensure stable delivery and clear decision-making.

• Translate company-level priorities into a clear set of artefacts.

  
  

• Define and continuously refine the roadmap to balance short-term impact with long-term gains.

• Manage long term roadmaps with significantly larger complexity and scope than more junior PMs. Often with dependencies across multiple teams/tracks.
