About You

You are passionate about corporate sustainability, travel management, and emissions reduction and are committed to playing a key role in helping major enterprises reduce their business travel emissions, leveraging cutting-edge technology and best-in-class travel management expertise.

About the Role

We are seeking a strategic, hands-on Travel Data Product & Partnerships Manager to own the quality, freshness, and business value of our travel data pipeline. You will define and scale the pipeline as a true product — from source strategy through ingestion, integration, enrichment, and ongoing optimization. You’ll also manage critical partnerships with our travel data vendors and serve as a linchpin between product, engineering, implementation, and external partners.

This is a build-from-scratch role designed for someone who thrives in early-stage startups, understands the complexities of travel data, and is passionate about emissions reduction, automation, and AI.

Key Responsibilities

🌐 Data Product Ownership

• Define and own our data pipeline as a product, covering the full lifecycle: source discovery, ingestion, normalization, cleaning, enrichment, and QA.
  

• Continually optimize pipeline performance and scalability with a product mindset.
  
  

📊 Data Strategy & Source Management

• Develop and maintain our travel data source strategy, mapping out unique attributes, limitations, and strengths of each partner/source.
  

• Design and manage a playbook for how data from each source is handled (technical, commercial, support, and quality perspectives).
  
  

🤝 Vendor Relationship Management

• Own the technical relationship with data vendors — defining integration specs, managing API or data feed performance, and ensuring alignment on timelines and service levels.
  

• Lead the commercial relationship — pricing, renewals, contracting, and negotiation.
  

• Maintain the support and quality relationship — resolving data issues, establishing QA frameworks, and pushing for root-cause resolution and proactive fixes.
  
  

🧠 Emissions & Methodology Expertise

• Stay current on business travel emissions accounting methodologies (e.g. DEFRA, ICAO, Travel Impact Model, GHG Protocol, SAF credits, etc.).
  

• Monitor sustainability policy developments and regulatory changes affecting business travel emissions.
  

• Translate emissions methodology into practical data rules and validation checks across the pipeline.
  
  

🚀 Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with the product team to translate customer needs into clear data requirements and features.
  

• Work with engineering to monitor and improve data accuracy, completeness, and freshness.
  

• Partner with the implementation team to reduce time to value, improve onboarding velocity, and troubleshoot customer data challenges.
  
  

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You…

• Have deep experience in the travel industry (e.g. GDSs, TMCs, OBTs, NDC, corporate travel data, or emissions reporting platforms).
  

• Have 3–7+ years of experience in data product management, partnerships, data strategy, or vendor management roles.
  

• Are comfortable navigating APIs, ETL pipelines, and data schemas — not to write the code, but to shape design and diagnose issues.
  

• Understand emissions accounting for business travel, or are eager to become an expert quickly.
  

• Are obsessed with quality and speed, especially when scaling systems from 0→1.
  

• Are excited by AI, and constantly seek ways to apply AI to data enrichment, QA, and automation.
  

• Love working in early-stage startups, wearing multiple hats, and building from the ground up.
  

Nice to Haves

• Familiarity with data privacy and compliance issues related to travel data (e.g. GDPR, PCI).
  

• Experience with emissions-related certifications, reporting frameworks, or climate tech platforms.
  

• Background in working with B2B SaaS, API-based integrations, or ETL tooling.
