Senior Manager, Product Management - Travel

Job Overview

Senior Manager, Product Management – Capital One Travel (Toronto, Canada)

Capital One Canada has been on a mission to change banking for good for 30 years. We seek a Senior Technical Product Manager to own the technical roadmap for the Capital One Travel Core Platform Team, the team that builds the foundational tooling upon which every Travel experience is built.

• Own the Platform Team’s technical roadmap end‑to‑end – from discovery through delivery – sequencing the component library, AI enablement, deployment/observability, and developer‑experience work streams into one coherent, prioritized plan.
• Drive the centralization and migration of the shared component library (tokens, primitives, wrapped components, Storybook, Figma integration) and hold the line on the target of production DOM rendered from the library.
• Lead AI‑driven development unlock: design‑to‑code mapping, component metadata for AI grounding, and ESLint/CI guardrails that prevent shadow components.
• Modernize deployment, testing, and observability – test strategy and coverage compliance, regression‑test automation, feature‑flag and A/B automation, proactive monitoring (RUM, crash detection, session replay).
• Prototype and validate technical concepts rapidly using AI tools such as Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Stitch by Google, or equivalent.
• Serve as a credible technical peer in architecture reviews and design‑system working sessions, reasoning about trade‑offs, dependencies, and sequencing.
• Run the operating cadence: quarterly stakeholder reviews, the platform placemat, onboarding kits and migration guides per tool, and developer‑experience surveys with closed‑loop follow‑through.
• Translate ambiguous mandates into clear technical requirements and a defensible sequence, working with minimal information and iterating as you learn.
• Champion engineers who build on the platform and teams that consume it, ensuring developer satisfaction and adoption are treated as first‑class outcomes.

• Engineering background: former software engineer with at least 2 years of hands‑on shipping production software and experience with the full lifecycle.
• Deep technical acumen: credible with engineering partners, proficient in modern front‑end platforms, design systems, CI/CD, and observability.
• AI fluency and hands‑on prototyping experience with Claude Code, Claude Cowork, or similar AI‑powered development tools.
• Business results orientation: focus on key inputs, quality, and timely delivery.
• Problem‑solving mindset: navigate complex, multi‑stakeholder environments and find paths forward.
• Comfort with ambiguity: thrive with limited information, frame problems, and iterate toward clarity.
• Customer‑first attitude: treat engineers and consuming teams as customers.
• Excellent collaboration across engineering, design, data, and product.
• Strong communication: articulate priorities, strategies, and trade‑offs concisely to engineers and executives.
• Design/UX sensibility: eye for good design and ability to wireframe or reason about user experience.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a quantitative field (Statistics, Economics, Operations Research, Analytics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, etc.) or MBA with a quantitative concentration.
• Experience owning a platform, design‑system, or developer‑tooling roadmap.
• Experience translating a technical strategy into a sequenced, multi‑team delivery program.
• Experience building or migrating component libraries, design tokens, or CI/CD and observability tooling at scale.
• Previous experience at Capital One.

Expected annual salary range: $184,000 – $210,000. Eligibility for performance‑based incentive compensation, which may include cash bonus(es).

Benefits include up to $3,000 in mental health coverage, up to $5,000 in tuition subsidies per year, health, dental, vision, and other standard benefits. Hybrid work environment with three days in the office and one‑time work‑from‑home allowance.
