KAYAK, part of Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG), is a leading travel search engine. With billions of queries across our platforms, we help people find their perfect flight, stay, rental car and vacation package. We're also transforming business travel with a new corporate travel solution, KAYAK for Business.

As an employee of KAYAK, you will be part of a travel company that operates a portfolio of global metasearch brands including momondo, Cheapflights and HotelsCombined, among others. From start-up to industry leader, innovation is in our DNA and every employee has an opportunity to make their mark. Our focus is on building the best travel search engine to make it easier for everyone to experience the world.

KAYAK is seeking a Technical Product Manager to lead the development and evolution of its experimentation platform. This is a role with global scope and clear accountability for the roadmap, prioritization, adoption, and success of a strategic platform that supports A/B testing today and will expand over time to broader testing use cases across the company! You will work closely with Engineering, Data, and Product partners and help a small cross-functional team deliver a platform that enables faster, more trusted decision-making across KAYAK.

Note, this position is required to work from our Concord, MA office 3 days per week.

In this role you will

• Own the roadmap for KAYAK's experimentation platform, aligning priorities with business goals and platform needs.
• Define and communicate a clear product direction, from current A/B testing capabilities to broader testing use cases over time.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Data, and Product teams to shape features, requirements, and implementation plans.
• Translate user needs and ambiguous asks into clear product requirements and well-scoped initiatives.
• Define success metrics, drive adoption, and continuously improve the platform through data and partner feedback.
• Improve experiment setup, execution, monitoring, analysis, and decision-making workflows across the platform.

Please apply if you have

• 4+ years of experience in product management, technical product management, or platform product management within a technology environment — equivalent experience, training, or transferable skills are considered.
• Strong knowledge of experimentation methodologies, including A/B testing concepts, statistical foundations (significance, power, confidence intervals, multiple comparisons, and sequential testing), trade-offs, and common pitfalls.
• Experience owning complex products or platforms with multiple collaborators and technical dependencies.
• Strong product and project management skills, including roadmap definition, prioritization, and cross-functional execution.
• Comfort working with engineers and data practitioners on technically complex topics.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
• High ownership, sound judgment, strong analytical skills, and the ability to influence senior leaders without direct authority.
• Experience reading and writing SQL.

Bonus points (not required)

• Hands-on familiarity with the statistics underpinning experimentation — power and sample-size planning, confidence intervals, multiple testing / false discovery, and sequential or group-sequential analysis.
