Join us in making a difference At trivago, our product organization is focused on outcomes that drive real user value and meaningful business impact. We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own strategy and execution for key monetization levers — spanning loyalty mechanics, pricing optimization, deal value, and retention across core user journeys . This is a role with genuine commercial ownership and the autonomy to shape direction across a multi-quarter roadmap. You thrive when strategy and execution are firmly in your hands — building rigorous business cases, designing clear experimentation agendas, and leading cross-functional teams from insight to shipped product. You'll partner closely with Analytics, Data Science, UX, Research, and Engineering, influencing decisions at the intersection of user experience and commercial performance . trivago is a place where high standards and genuine support go hand in hand — we invest in each other's growth while pursuing ambitious goals. Ready to turn great user value into sustainable growth? Apply now. How you'll make an impact: Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for retention & monetization areas driving direction with a high level of autonomy and influencing priorities across multiple teams, backed by quantified opportunities (LTV, contribution margin, conversion, repeat behavior). Build and defend business cases for new initiatives - model trade-offs, pressure-test assumptions with real data, and influence stakeholders on investment priorities and expected returns. Lead structured discovery end-to-end — identify and validate high-impact opportunities, quantify expected impact (uplift ranges, confidence levels, cost of delay), and connect them to a clear KPI framework. Own the full experimentation agenda - hypothesis framing, test design, sequencing, and guardrails - driving fast learning while protecting user trust and making decisions from results. Lead Analytics, Data Science, UX, Research, and Engineering from insight to shipped product — maintaining clarity on commercial and user outcomes throughout. Act as integrator across Finance, Marketing/CRM, Supply, and Legal where relevant. Mentor less experienced product managers and actively contribute to product management processes and practices across the company. What you'll need to thrive: 6-12+ years of product management experience with a proven track record of shipping and scaling complex, data-driven initiatives - ideally spanning monetization, growth, pricing, or retention in a consumer product. Strong commercial and analytical rigor - you're comfortable with experimentation results, cohort analysis, and opportunity sizing, and you make principled decisions when metrics trade off against each other. Excellent communication and stakeholder management . You influence across functions and levels, articulate trade-offs crisply, and drive alignment - including with senior leadership. Technical fluency. You don’t need to code, but you can partner effectively with engineering and data teams and understand system constraints and trade-offs. High bar for UX. You know monetization works best when value is clear and the experience feels seamless. A genuine learning mindset - you approach challenges with curiosity, seek out feedback, and continuously look for ways to develop and grow. A performance mindset - you set ambitious goals for yourself and have the determination and resilience to follow through and achieve
