Senior Product Manager - Saving Engines

HRS AS A COMPANY HRS is a global technology company revolutionizing the way enterprises manage lodging, meetings, and workforce travel through AI-driven, data-centric solutions. With over 50 years of innovation, HRS delivers value through its Lodging-as-a-Service (LaaS), Meeting-as-a-Service (MaaS), and Workforce-as-a-Service (WaaS) offerings, serving Fortune 500 enterprises, leading hotel chains, and mid-sized companies worldwide. By integrating cutting-edge technology across our Copilot and Connect platforms, HRS enables unmatched efficiencies and strategic outcomes for clients globally. BUSINESS UNIT The Connect Search & Book domain powers HRS hotel content and services for corporate customers worldwide. At the core of Connect sits the Savings Engine — the transaction and rate intelligence backbone responsible for booking processing, offer computation, rate confirmation, and rebooking workflows. Its performance directly affects booking reliability, rate competitiveness, customer savings, and the end-to-end quality of the enterprise booking experience. Vietnam is HRS's largest and most strategic engineering hub for Connect, home to multiple high-performing product and engineering teams. The Savings Engine team is based here, with a mandate to modernize its technical foundation and establish an AI-native engineering model. This is a high-impact, business-critical product area — and we are hiring the PM to own it. POSITION We are seeking a Product Manager to take full ownership of the Savings Engine product within HRS Connect Search & Book. You will report to the VP Product and be the single accountable PM for this product area — owning the roadmap, defining success metrics, driving continuous discovery, and working as a genuine peer to the Engineering Team Lead. This is not a maintenance role. Savings Engine is one of the most technically consequential product areas in Connect, and the bar for product ownership here is high. We are looking for a PM who brings structure, outcome discipline, and genuine platform product thinking to a business-critical infrastructure product — and who is energized by working on something customers never see but always feel. CHALLENGE As Product Manager for Connect Savings Engine, you will: - Own the product vision, roadmap, and prioritization for the Savings Engine — Booking Engine, Offer Engine, Reservation Engine, Multisource (Offer Aggregator), and Rebooking - Work in a lean Product Duo model alongside the Engineering Team Lead, with shared accountability for outcomes — not a handoff-and-execute dynamic - Apply Working Backwards thinking in every initiative: start from the desired customer and business outcome, define the right problem precisely, and validate assumptions before committing to solutions - Define and track success metrics for every product initiative — connecting platform reliability, rate quality, and savings delivery to measurable business outcomes - Drive structured discovery with internal stakeholders, commercial teams, and enterprise customers to understand where the product is falling short and what improvements will create the most value - Make responsible trade-off decisions on modernization investment vs. new capability development — sequencing the roadmap with clear business case reasoning per phase - Be a credible product peer to the ETL: engage on architecture trade-offs, participate in technical discovery, and hold the line on what matters most for customers and the business - Identify where AI can create measurable product value in the booking and rate infrastructure — anomaly detection, predictive reliability monitoring, rate optimization — and frame these as testable product bets - Use AI tools as the default across your PM workflow: discovery synthesis, PRD drafting, competitive analysis, stakeholder communication, and roadmap prioritization - Translate deeply technical platform outcomes into a clear business narrative for VP Product, commercial stakeholders, and enterprise clients - Absorb a structured handover from the outgoing PM and establish independent product ownership quickly — the team cannot afford a long stabilization period FOR THIS EXCITING MISSION YOU ARE EQUIPPED WITH... Product Experience - 4+ years of Product Management experience, ideally in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, fintech, or e-commerce platform products - Demonstrated experience owning a backend or platform product — comfortable defining success for a product with no user interface, where outcomes are measured in reliability, throughput, and business metrics - Strong command of modern PM craft: outcome ownership, Working Backwards methodology, and continuous discovery — not a feature-factory mindset - Metric-driven approach: able to define and track success metrics for platform products and make prioritization decisions grounded in data - Experience managing a product roadmap that balances modernization investment, reliability improvement, and new capability development Technical Fluency - Comfortable engaging with engineers on architecture trade-offs — API design, distributed systems concepts, latency vs. throughput, legacy modernization sequencing — without needing to be an engineer - Able to ask the right questions, challenge decisions from a product and customer outcome perspective, and understand the dependency and risk implications of technical roadmap decisions - Experience working on products built on transaction processing, booking or payment infrastructure, pricing engines, or equivalent high-throughput backend systems is a strong plus AI Fluency - Active, demonstrated use of AI tools in your own PM workflow — with concrete examples of quality and productivity improvement - Practical understanding of where AI can improve backend platform products and the ability to frame AI opportunities as product bets with measurable outcomes - Awareness of the limits and risks of AI in transaction-critical systems —
