  • Demonstrated experience building developer-facing or business-to-business marketplace products, including API product design, developer experience, and commercial packaging for enterprise customers.
  • Use large language models and vibe coding as first-line prototyping tools, with prior working demos, mockups, or proofs of concept created using AI.
  • Strong understanding of marketplace economics, including take rates, supply-side incentives, demand-side optimization, and platform versus variable commercial models.
  • Ability to coordinate across multiple product teams, synthesize roadmaps, surface dependencies, and drive cross-team alignment without owning the underlying engineering.
  • Experience working with external enterprise partners, translating commercial needs into product requirements and managing expectations through multi-phase rollouts.
  • Strong fluency with SQL and large-scale transactional or operational datasets.
  • Proficiency in both French and English, including regular communication and collaboration with colleagues, managers, clients, suppliers, and business partners outside Quebec, and use of documentation, systems, and communications in both languages.

  • Coordinate with capability product managers to understand underlying systems' roadmaps, constraints, and customization options, and translate these into externally consumable API products.
  • Own the marketplace commercial model, including platform versus variable fee decisions, take-rate structure by capability, enterprise packaging, and custom agreements for large partners with differentiated customer segments.
  • Build the developer and partner experience from scratch, including API specifications, partner onboarding flows, documentation standards, sandbox environments, and integration tools that minimize time to first value.
  • Use AI tools and rapid prototyping to test ideas, including mock API responses, partner portal prototypes, and simulated pricing and ranking configurations, before committing engineering resources.
  • Establish the marketplace go-to-market approach with Commercial, identifying appropriate partners for each capability, sequencing launches, and defining commercial rollout success criteria.
  • Own the marketplace revenue and loss statement; model and track gross booking value, take rate, and per-capability unit economics with Finance.
  • Set sequencing and prioritization across capabilities, including in-progress work, scoping-stage products, and capabilities not yet started.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in travel commerce, including lodging, cars, or flights, or adjacent industries such as fintech, advertising, or marketplace infrastructure.
  • Background in connectivity, distribution, or supplier technology, including global distribution systems, channel managers, or online travel agency APIs.
  • Prior experience in engineering, data science, or another technical role.
  • Familiarity with auction or deduplication mechanics, dynamic pricing systems, or recommendation and ranking models.
