Job Description

The Expedia Group Media Solutions' (MeSo) product management team sets the vision for our growing suite of products. We guide our many functional internal teams toward a common goal: shipping timely, high-quality, performant products and features oriented to market demand and complementary to the travel shopping experience. As advocates both for MeSos B2B advertiser clients and for shoppers to Expedia Group's global family of websites, the best product managers balance diverse perspectives, build creative products at scale, and simplify complex processes.

You will work closely with the analytics, engineering, product, finance, ad operations and account management teams to define these enhancements and ensure they are accessible to all. You'll bring your analytical abilities, business acuity and raw smarts to tackle complex problems and exercise outstanding judgment. You will lead requirements definition, evaluate existing data implementations and help build well-levered data solutions and processes that scale.

* Prioritize data platform efforts that span multiple products
* Regularly review developments in the data privacy regulatory environment
* Maintain a command of all underlying Expedia Group data platform, product taxonomy, and metadata



Who you are:

* 3+ years of meaningful work experience in digital marketing, online advertising, and/or product development
* Bachelors degree required, advanced degree preferred
* Impeccable verbal and written communication skills
* Strong eye for detail, with a natural tendency to dig deep and thoroughly understand an issue before recommending a solution
* Strong analytical and quantitative skills, with the ability to use numbers and metrics to back up assumptions and evaluate outcomes; experience with financial modeling and statistics is an advantage
* Past success working across all levels and functions with multiple internal teams and external partners that required clear communication, evangelism and compromise
* Knowledge of Agile development practices, particularly sprint planning and assessment
* Willingness and ability to learn new technologies quickly
