As Senior Product Manager on the Disruption Core & Commerce team, you will work at the intersection of the business, software development, data science, and user experience to create innovative solutions and intuitive user experiences to reduce the stress of traveling. You will have a competitive understanding of the travel landscape to facilitate the creation of successful new features.

Leveraging data science to solve customers’ problems is in Hopper’s DNA.

Hopper offers a product called Disruption Assistance for Any Reason that helps customers navigate flight delays and cancellations, and ultimately get where they want to go. If a customer experiences a disruption, they can rebook themselves on any airline – for free – or get a 100% refund of their trip cost.
