Our client is on a mission to transform the way hiring happens in the hospitality industry, and they’re looking for a forward-thinking Director of Product Management to lead the charge.
 

This is a high-impact leadership role at the intersection of strategy and execution.

• Make go-to-market seamless. Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, and CS to ensure your products hit the market with clarity, purpose, and adoption.

• A Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (CS, Engineering, Business, etc.); a Master’s or MBA is a bonus.
