Senior Technical Product Manager

At Going, data is our core product driver and a product in its own right. Data\-as\-a\-Service (DaaS) is the team that runs it like an internal platform business: your product is the unified stream of flight data; your customers are our internal product and feature teams, and your ultimate end\-users are millions of subscribers who rely on us for timely, hyper\-relevant flight deals. We're hiring a systems\-thinking **Senior Technical Product Manager** to lead a cross\-functional team of senior Data and Backend Engineers. You'll own the charter and roadmap for how Going acquires, pipelines, and engineers high\-quality datasets that power Going's core products.
