Product Manager Integrations – Booking Experts – Zwolle

Jobid=0ea8489531e7 (0.0987)

Onze oorsprong ligt bij Expert Webdesign, waarbij wij websites voor allerlei bedrijven ontwikkelden. Zo ook voor recreatie ondernemers. Hier kwamen we telkens hetzelfde probleem tegen: de websites liepen ver voor op de markt en concurrentie, maar misten de mogelijkheid om direct via de website een vakantie te boeken. Klanten moesten hiervoor telefonisch contact opnemen met de receptie of uitwijken naar externe boekingsplatforms. Dit moest beter en gemakkelijker, dachten we.

Daarom zijn we om tafel gegaan met allerlei partijen als receptionistes, parkmanagers, technische diensten, schoonmakers, slagboompartijen en de directie, om vanuit diverse perspectieven de knelpunten in kaart te brengen. Het resultaat was de ontwikkeling van een innovatief reserveringssysteem dat alle benodigdheden voor recreatiebedrijven integreert. Zo is in 2011 Booking Experts ontstaan. Ons boekingsplatform is uitgegroeid tot hét platform voor vakantieparken, campings, hotels in diverse landen.

Om aan de groeiende vraag te voldoen, hebben we in 2017 ons marketingbureau Booking Boosters opgericht. Hiermee kunnen we onze klanten helpen om hun online omzet te verhogen en hun groei te stimuleren. Middels effectieve en performance based marketingtechnieken, zoals SEO, SEA, Affiliate Marketing en Social Media, helpen wij vakantieparken groeien en floreren!

 



At Booking Experts, it’s all about connection. Not just between people, but especially between systems. As our Product Manager Integrations, you will ensure our platform collaborates seamlessly with the outside world. You are the vital link between our software and external partners.

You are a strategic product manager who maintains a clear overview while setting the direction: from API strategy to partner roadmaps, and from market analysis to ensuring quality alongside the development team.

A day as Product Manager Integrations 

At Booking Experts, you start the day with a sharp focus on technological connectivity. Here's what your workday looks like:

08:30 | Market & Partner Analysis: You analyse partner feedback and market needs. Based on the data, you determine which new API endpoints are needed to make our integrations even more powerful and user-friendly.

10:00 | Strategic Partner Consultation: You speak with a major international party such as Airbnb or Booking.com. You safeguard Booking Experts' interests and establish the functional frameworks for the new integration.

12:00 | Team Lunch: Time to unwind with the team. A healthy lunch, a quick walk and catching up in our informal atmosphere.

12:30 | Roadmap & Development: After lunch, you translate partner requirements into concrete user stories for the engineering team. You set priorities in the backlog and monitor the progress of the integration roadmap.

15:30 | Quality & Impact: You verify whether a new integration meets the high quality standards. You analyse the impact on users and contribute ideas about the stability of the integration.

16:30 | Direction & Planning: You review the status of the current sprint and anticipate tomorrow's conversations. This way you always maintain control and keep the course clear for technical partners and the development team.

Who are you? 

We like to keep it to the core:

Education & Foundation: You hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, are ambitious, and gain energy from creating technological connections. You understand how APIs work, enjoy solving complex puzzles, and quickly identify where systems can strengthen one another. You switch effortlessly between technical depth and strategic overview.

Multidisciplinary Skills: You're skilled at analysing complex technical structures and work data-driven. Overseeing integration roadmaps and translating technical possibilities into commercial opportunities comes naturally to you. Additionally, you're curious, learn quickly and pick things up independently.

Professional Attitude: In partner interactions, you act as a strong sparring partner for both engineers and commercial stakeholders. You are fluent in both Dutch and English (written and spoken) and always maintain a “helicopter view.” Even when things get busy, you keep your cool and set the right priorities.

And most importantly: you're looking for a versatile, innovative and ambitious workplace where technology and hospitality come together and you get plenty of growth opportunities.

What do you bring? 

You see it as a welcome challenge to map out the roadmap for our integrations. You are just as comfortable discussing an endpoint with a developer as you are talking to an account manager from an international partner. You take pride in a stable platform and want to contribute to our international ambitions.

You maintain oversight, even when the roadmap is full. You enjoy being at the helm and are not afraid to make the decisions that determine our international growth. Since our (European) partners are widely distributed, you switch to English without a second thought. Having previously worked with technical products, you know exactly how to translate a vision into a working solution.

What do we offer you? 

At Booking Experts, your growth is central:

  • Salary: A market-conform gross monthly salary matching your seniority, with a transparent growth path and an employee benefit of 10% salary surcharge after one year of employment.

  • Development: A key role in international growth with a lot of freedom to determine the technological direction of our platform. You get the facilities to further develop yourself as an integration expert.

  • Facilities: A modern working environment with a MacBook, sit-stand desk and daily fresh lunch, fruit and snacks.

  • Balance: 25 days of holiday, flexible working hours with hybrid working options, and the opportunity to participate in our comprehensive cycle-to-work scheme.

The application process

  • Response: Within 5 working days you'll hear whether we invite you for an introductory meeting.

  • Interview: A first meeting at our office in Enschede to discuss the match and your vision on product management.

  • Follow-up: A second round where we dive deeper into the technical aspects and roadmap strategy, possibly via a case study.

  • Offer: Are we the perfect match? Then we'll make you a proposal to strengthen our product team!
