Are you a strategic product leader who excels at untangling complex technical landscapes? Do you want to own the product vision that ensures safe, compliant, and seamless flight departures across a global network of over 150 airports?
Role Overview
As the Product Manager for Departure & Compliance, you will lead the transition toward a standardised hybrid Departure Control System (DCS) model. You will be responsible for rationalising a complex vendor landscape, ensuring that departure‑critical passenger, flight, and regulatory data is accurate, highly resilient, and seamlessly integrated across a massive ecosystem of central systems, third‑party providers, and international border authorities.
Key Accountabilities
* Product Strategy & Vision: Shape and own the long‑term product vision, budget, and roadmap. Define clear OKRs and metrics to measure success and maximise business value.
* Stakeholder Alignment: Act as the strategic bridge between operational, commercial, and technology leaders. Translate complex technical data challenges into clear, outcome‑focused business language.
* Team Leadership: Provide direction, purpose, and mentorship to Product Owners and cross‑functional delivery squads, fostering a culture of high performance and deep customer empathy.
* Agile Delivery: Partner with engineering and delivery teams to translate strategic goals into actionable backlogs, balancing rapid short‑term delivery with long‑term platform stability.
* Lifecycle & Data Management: Oversee the full product lifecycle from ideation to retirement. Ensure compliance, reliability, and data integrity across all live operational systems.
Key Skills & Experience Required
* Proven PM Experience: Demonstrated success as a Product Manager in a technology, data‑heavy, or complex operational environment.
* Aviation & DCS Expertise: Strong understanding of core passenger data flows (Reservation → Departure → Regulatory) and Departure Control Systems (DCS/PSS).
* Compliance & Borders: Familiarity with regulatory and border authority data exchanges (e.g., APIS, ETIAS).
* Integration Mastery: Experience managing complex, highly fragmented legacy system landscapes and multiple third‑party vendor integrations.
* Agile Execution: Proven track record of delivering scalable product features within Agile frameworks (e.g., Scrum, SAFe, DevSecOps).
* Technical & Data Literacy: Strong problem‑solving skills focused on data‑led platform strategies, architecture considerations, security, and performance.
Core Competencies For Success
* Strategic Acumen: Comfort navigating highly ambiguous environments, managing competing priorities, and making data‑backed trade‑offs.
* Influence Without Authority: Exceptional ability to lead, inspire, and align cross‑functional teams and senior leaders without formal hierarchical power.
* Customer Focus: Deep empathy for both internal operational teams and external passengers, transforming operational insights into elegant product solutions.
