Flight Itinerary (About The Role)
We’re looking for an experienced Technical Product Owner to own our NDC portal/gateway solution end-to-end. You will define and execute the product vision for airline distribution at FLYR — shaping how airlines and travel sellers onboard, configure, test, and scale NDC across channels. You’ll work closely with customers, commercial teams, and engineers to design an intuitive portal experience, manage a clear backlog, and ensure compliance with IATA NDC while supporting traditional distribution.
This is a hands-on product role that blends strategy, discovery, standards stewardship, and execution. You’ll partner with platform teams (Offer, Order, Product Catalog) and Developer Experience to deliver an API-first, self-serve workflow that accelerates integration and adoption.

- Run discovery with implementation, commercial, sales, and partner teams to capture needs and pain points.
- Translate insights into epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria; prioritize by customer impact and strategic value.
Stakeholder Alignment & Evangelism

- Partner with engineering, DX, and operations to deliver incremental value and a cohesive end-to-end experience.
Delivery & Launch
- Lead sprint planning and backlog refinement with engineering; drive high-quality releases.
- Validate outcomes via UAT and coordinate launch, adoption, enablement, and training activities.
Industry & Standards Leadership
- Stay current on IATA NDC schemas and implementation patterns; translate standards into pragmatic product choices.
- Ensure the portal supports all distribution channels and accelerates the shift to NDC for airline customers.
Continuous Improvement & Analytics
- Define product KPIs; analyze usage, reliability, and customer feedback to inform iteration.
- Perform gap analyses; author business requirements to enhance experience, performance, and compliance.
Platform & Integration Enablement
- Work with platform teams to ensure consistent data contracts, error handling, and observability across Shop/Buy/Pay/Change/Cancel flows.
- Collaborate with Developer Experience on documentation, sandbox/testing workflows, and diagnostics to streamline NDC partner onboarding.
