Expedia Group is seeking a highly technical, builder‑mindset Principal Product Manager to lead the strategy and execution of our Agentic Search team. AI agents are emerging as a new customer interface, increasingly owning the travel funnel from intent to transaction. We ensure EG’s supply, pricing, and brand are surfaced, selected, and transacted by agents – the next platform shift after web and mobile.

This is an individual contributor role designed for a builder. As the Single Threaded Leader for Agentic Search, the PM will own the channel‑level theses, roadmap, experimentation, and outcomes across the full set of Agentic Search channels and emerging agent surfaces. The role carries direct ownership of strategy and execution, with a squad of senior engineers, and is empowered to act with minimal coordination tax.

This role reports to the Head of Organic & Agent Search.

• Own the end‑to‑end strategy and outcomes (P&L) for Agentic Search across agent channels, sequencing investment by economic contribution and maintaining a forward view on emerging agent surfaces.
• Build and continuously refine theses on how agents search, evaluate, and transact, recognizing that agent archetypes differ meaningfully from each other and require bespoke approaches.
• Translate theses into prioritized roadmaps and clear stay/invest/pass calls as the agent ecosystem evolves.

• Ensure EG’s inventory, pricing, policies, and loyalty signals are machine‑readable and correctly interpreted across agent surfaces.

• Develop a research and experimentation agenda to understand how agents reason, rank, and recommend, drawing on observability tooling (e.g., chain‑of‑thought analysis), structured prompting of closed models, and emerging academic literature.
• Translate learnings about agent preferences into agent‑facing products, content, interfaces, and offerings, recognizing that agents may weight value, trust, and convenience differently than humans.
• Operate a portfolio of agent‑archetype strategies with a shared feedback loop across experimentation and research.

• Define and operate a high‑velocity experimentation system per channel, with clear hypotheses, decision criteria, and decision‑grade readouts.
• Translate experimental learnings into durable changes – product enhancements, expanded marketing surfaces, content systems, and offering adjustments – and rank what to productionalize against desirability, feasibility, and viability.
• Shape the path toward end‑to‑end agent infrastructure as the category matures, including the harder unresolved problems of identity,…
