Staff Product Manager

About the role

<div class="content-intro"><h4><strong>Help make the world more hospitable </strong></h4> <p>The hospitality industry is uniquely human, and it deserves technology that’s just as inspiring as the people behind it. At Mews, we’re transforming the industry with a platform that helps hotels run smarter, move faster and create better guest experiences.</p> <p>You’ll work with smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do. You’ll have autonomy and the trust to make good decisions and move quickly. And you’ll enjoy a real sense of purpose as you see the impact of what we’re building.</p> <p>If you’re motivated by ownership, curiosity and meaningful impact, and are driven to deliver consistent high performance, you’ll feel at home here.</p> <h4><strong>About the role</strong></h4> <p>Let's get into the specifics. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distil it into a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:</p></div><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="5:1-5:398;59-456">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.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" data-sourcepos="7:1-7:426;458-883">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.</p> <h4 class="mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold" data-sourcepos="9:1-9:46;885-930">What you would do</h4> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1" data-sourcepos="11:1-15:191;932-2027"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" data-sourcepos="11:1-11:231;932-1162">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</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" data-sourcepos="12:1-12:284;1163-1446">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</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" data-sourcepos="13:1-13:195;1447-1641">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</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" data-sourcepos="14:1-14:195;1642-1836">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</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2" data-sourcepos="15:1-15:191;1837-2027">Build and maintain AI assisted workflows for synthesizing partner documentation, API specs, and
