Senior Product Director (Viator) (Remote)

Viator’s mission is to bring more wonder into the world. To bring extraordinary, unexpected, and forever-memorable experiences to more people, more often, wherever they’re traveling, wherever they are. In doing so, Viator elevates thousands of businesses, large and small, along the way.

With Viator, they’ve experienced the best of the world’s oldest cities, and rediscovered their hometowns through new eyes. They’ve faced their fears ziplining across the jungles of Costa Rica, hot air ballooning above Turkey’s Cappadocia, and trekking through the glaciers of New Zealand. Over wine-tasting and walking tours, they’ve reunited with family and friends after COVID-enforced separations.

We’re the largest marketplace of our kind: a single place where travelers can book more than 300,000 tours, experiences, and activities.

We’re used by millions of travelers to find everything from walking tours and wineries, to cooking classes and catamarans, to sailing and spelunking, to bus tours and breweries. Our hundreds of thousands of experiences are in nearly every country around the world. And our team is international, too. We have people in Singapore, Sydney, Oxford, London, Lisbon, Reykjavik, Boston, San Francisco, and more.

The Viator Traveler Experience product team is seeking an enthusiastic, data fluent Product Director to join the team on our mission to create an experience that’s complete, inspiring, simple and compelling, the first time, the next time and every time that our customers travel. You will be part of a dynamic, fun, and energetic team where you can immediately make meaningful contributions and grow as a product management leader.

In this role you will manage a team of product managers working at the core part of traveler experience: helping travelers find the right experience that matches their needs and wants. You and your team will make it easier for travelers to compare and narrow down options and convey what is the best value. You will recognise their buying habits and deliver unique interactions that help them make the right decision.
