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.
