  • Work with the team leader for the production unit to ensure development and optimization of sign-up tours, in terms on both concept development and fulfilment.
  • Stay on top of performance metrics to continuously optimize our portfolio and leverage the potential in our supplier contracts, working with both suppliers and brands to maximize value for all parties.
  • Work with the team and the brands to identify opportunities for evolving and optimizing our product portfolio to continue delivering on the standards for a sustainable travel experience.
  • Collaborate with the brand specific product teams to identify opportunities to develop the shared portfolio of products and services that cater to their respective needs and target audiences and ensure strategic alignment in what is shared across brands and what is brand specific.
  • Ensure efficient operations, by applying a structured approach to our stakeholder collaborations, by identifying opportunities for workflow optimization and optimizing towards customer satisfaction.
  • Represent and understand how and where Products is a stakeholder in the organization and in projects that span across functions.
