Senior Product Manager – Monetization & Retention

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 optimisation, deal value and retention across core user journeys. This role has genuine commercial ownership and the autonomy to shape direction across a multi‑quarter roadmap.

How you’ll make an impact:

• Own the product vision, strategy and roadmap for retention & monetization areas, driving direction with high autonomy and influencing priorities across multiple teams, backed by quantified opportunities (LTV, contribution margin, conversion, repeat behaviour).
• 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.
• Own the full experimentation agenda – hypothesis framing, test design, sequencing and guardrails – driving fast learning while protecting user trust and making decisions from results.
• Lead Analytics, Data Science, UX, Research and Engineering from insight to shipped product – maintaining clarity on commercial and user outcomes throughout, and act as an integrator across Finance, Marketing/CRM, Supply and Legal where relevant.
• Mentor less experienced product managers and actively contribute to product management processes and practices across the company.

What you’ll need to thrive:

• 6–12+ years of product management experience with a proven track record of shipping and scaling complex, data‑driven initiatives – ideally spanning monetisation, 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 – influence across functions and levels, articulate trade‑offs crisply, and drive alignment, including with senior leadership.
• Technical fluency – can partner effectively with engineering and data teams and understand system constraints and trade‑offs.
• High bar for UX – know that monetisation works best when value is clear and the experience feels seamless.
• A genuine learning mindset – approach challenges with curiosity, seek feedback and continuously look for ways to develop and grow.
• A performance mindset – set ambitious goals, show determination and resilience to follow through and achieve them.
• An open and curious mindset toward AI tools and automation – actively explore how AI can enhance your work and are excited to grow alongside evolving technologies.
