Product Manager III, Employee Accessibility

Product Manager III

Are you passionate about empowering and influencing technology teams to enable and build inclusive and accessible technology solutions for employees, guests, and recruits?

The technology teams within Expedia IT (eIT) enable, drive, and configure core applications and tools for all Expedia Group employees to be productive and to do their best work. This work translates into the best platforms for our customers – travelers and partners, around the world. We put employee experiences at the center of our focus.

Our team is impactful: we work every day to reduce friction and empower our communities, striving to optimize our tools and frameworks. We are platform product managers with a human focus: customer-centric, quality driven, and empathetic. We recognize that a truly inclusive environment is not possible without removing the friction and limitations technology can cause for people with known and hidden disabilities. An inclusive and diverse company allows and bolsters a diversity of thought that is essential to an innovative organization. And that is where our team’s focus comes into the picture.

We are looking for a dynamic, organized self-starter to partner with partners, technical leaders, and development teams across our organization.

Establish journey maps to identify struggles and opportunities in software for employees

Define a set of success metrics to measure customer happiness and business impact and be able to apply them in decision-making
