Staff Product Manager
The Distribution tribe owns how Mews connects hotel properties to 400+ OTA and channel management platforms, including Booking.com, Expedia, and Airbnb. You would join as the Staff Product Manager leading our biggest strategic initiative for 2026: building a native Channel Manager experience powered by SiteMinder, bringing OTA connectivity fully inside Mews so hotels never need to switch tools.
This role exists above day to day execution. There is already a PM handling that layer. You come in to own the full product strategy and set direction the way a Staff Engineer owns an architectural domain, working through a landscape of hundreds of third party APIs, each with their own schemas, edge cases, and contractual obligations, while protecting 2,800 existing customers who cannot be disrupted during the transition.
What you would do
Set and defend product strategy for Distribution's core platform while the new native Channel Manager experience ships in parallel, ensuring zero disruption to the 2,800+ existing SiteMinder customers who depend on current flows
Own the technical product decisions that blur the line between engineering and product: API architecture, third party integration patterns, legacy versus new codebase trade offs, and how to handle the dozens of edge cases and contractual obligations that come with OTA partnerships
Manage alignment across Commercial, Customer Success, SiteMinder, individual OTAs, and your engineering team, balancing what customers need, what OTAs require, and what is technically feasible
Work directly with senior engineers on architecture discussions and trade off decisions, bringing full technical context to every decision rather than relying on others to translate complexity
Build and maintain AI assisted workflows for synthesizing partner documentation, API specs, and cross team requirements, so complex technical context is easier for the wider team to act on
AI Fluency Level 3: in this role, that means redesigning how the Distribution team handles hundreds of pages of partner API documentation and contractual detail, using AI to synthesize and structure that material rather than reading it manually. It means creating a repeatable method for this synthesis that your PM, engineers, and cross functional partners can reuse. And it means actively checking that synthesis against the source material yourself before it shapes a technical or strategic decision, since a missed edge case here can affect thousands of live customers.

What you would bring
Demonstrable progression to Staff or Principal PM level (IC PM to Group PM, Director of Product, or equivalent) with proven outcomes on very complex, large scale projects
Experience shipping products with complex third party integrations at scale: API heavy, partner dependent, high reliability production environments where failure is not an option
Strong technical fluency and ability to operate as a peer to senior engineers, engaging directly in architecture discussions and making trade off decisions with full technical context, not approximations
A track record of owning outcomes end to end, moving fast in uncertain environments, and operating effectively in smaller, direct team settings
AI Fluency Level 3 or the equivalent hands on experience: you have redesigned how you or your team uses AI, built an approach others follow, and you actively check AI output before relying on it
Nice to have
Direct experience at a PMS, CRS, or channel manager company (SiteMinder, Amadeus, Oracle Hospitality, D-edge)
Hands on experience with SiteMinder, iHotelier, D-edge, Booking.com connectivity products, or similar OTA side platforms
Track record leading a major platform migration or legacy modernization
Why this role, why now
Mews recently completed a Series D and distribution technology is at an inflection point in hospitality. Hotels currently move between Mews and separate channel managers to reach the full OTA ecosystem. We are building that natively, and the market timing and scope of the problem make this the highest impact distribution role in hospitality tech right now.
