  • Lead cross-functional teams focused on user behavior, journey mapping, and engagement optimization.
  • Partner with engineering, product, and design teams to identify engagement drivers, friction points, and opportunities for product enhancement.
  • Translate data insights into actionable UX improvements, product roadmap priorities, and go-to-market experiments.
  • Collaborate with marketing and airline partners to develop and test engagement campaigns and personalized passenger experiences.
  • Own product KPIs around engagement, retention, and satisfaction, and communicate results to senior leadership.
  • Work with the ad sales organization to create data driven pricing and bundling based on passenger behavior.

What you'll need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Product Management, Business, Data Analytics, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
  • 10+ years of experience in digital product management, UX strategy, or engagement analytics.
  • Proven track record of using data and experimentation to grow engagement and retention in consumer-facing products.
  • Strong understanding of digital product metrics and behavioral analytics tools (e.g., Amplitude, Mixpanel, Tableau, GA4).
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across technical and commercial teams.
  • Experience managing and mentoring product or analytics professionals.
  • Ability to travel 20%.
  • What will help you on the job

  • Experience in aviation, advertising, travel, media streaming, or connectivity services.
  • Background in personalization, recommendation engines, or digital content platforms.
  • Familiarity with passenger journey design and inflight connectivity ecosystems.
  • Passion for creating intuitive, delightful digital experiences.
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-innovation environment where experimentation drives progress.
