At trivago, our product organization is focused on outcomes that drive real user value and meaningful business impact. We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to own strategy and execution for key monetization levers—spanning loyalty mechanics, pricing optimization, deal value, and retention across core user journeys.

Build and defend business cases for new initiatives—model trade‑offs, pressure‑test assumptions with real data, and influence stakeholders on investment priorities and expected returns.

Lead structured discovery end‑to‑end—identify and validate high‑impact opportunities, quantify expected impact (uplift ranges, confidence levels, cost of delay), and connect them to a clear KPI framework.

Lead Analytics, Data Science, UX, Research, and Engineering from insight to shipped product—maintaining clarity on commercial and user outcomes throughout.

Qualifications 6‑12+ years of product management experience with a proven track record of shipping and scaling complex, data‑driven initiatives—ideally spanning monetization, growth, pricing, or retention in a consumer product.

Strong commercial and analytical rigor—comfortable with experimentation results, cohort analysis, and opportunity sizing, and able to make principled decisions when metrics trade off against each other. Excellent communication and stakeholder management.

Influences across functions and levels, articulates trade‑offs crisply, and drives alignment—including with senior leadership. Technical fluency. High bar for UX. Knows monetization works best when value is clear and the experience feels seamless.

A genuine learning mindset—approaches challenges with curiosity, seeks out feedback, and continuously looks for ways to develop and grow. A performance mindset—sets ambitious goals for yourself and has the determination and resilience to follow through and achieve them.

An open and curious mindset toward AI tools and automation—actively explores how AI can enhance your work and is excited to grow alongside evolving technologies. You can also work remotely from a different location within Germany or selected countries abroad for up to 20 days per year.
