About the Position
Senior Product Owner (m/f/d) - Team Search
City: Berlin
Department: IT & Engineering
Recruiter: Anna Symonenko
At Flix, we offer a tech-driven environment where innovation meets real-world impact, with competitive pay, strong growth opportunities, and a culture of collaboration and ownership.
Flix is building the global platform for affordable and sustainable ground travel, from next-generation train offerings in Europe to rapid expansion in high-growth markets such as India. As our network becomes broader and more complex, Search plays a critical role in helping millions of customers find the right journey quickly, confidently, and intuitively.
As a Senior Product Owner/Manager in Demand Division you will be able to turn Search into a true growth engine for Flix: a product experience that understands customer intent, reduces complexity, improves conversion, and creates valuable demand signals for the business across web, app, and emerging AI-native channels.
In this role, you will define the north star for Flix Search and own the roadmap through a major product and technical transformation. You will work closely with engineering, UX, data, commercial, and operational stakeholders to evolve Search from a functional step in the booking funnel into a personalised, intelligent, and scalable discovery experience.
Responsibilities
- Set and communicate a compelling product vision and strategy for Search, grounded in customer needs, business impact, and market opportunity
- Identify and prioritise opportunities across ranking, relevance, comparison, query understanding, personalisation, and zero-result recovery
- Use data such as conversion impact, query behaviour, and customer feedback to diagnose problems and guide product decisions
- Lead discovery and delivery with cross-functional teams, balancing quick customer-facing improvements with long-term platform and architectural needs
- Align stakeholders around trade-offs, success metrics, and roadmap priorities in an ambiguous and strategically important product area
- Explore how Search can support new surfaces and behaviours, including AI-native discovery and conversational travel planning
Requirements
- 8+ years of product management experience, ideally including ownership of a search, discovery, marketplace, recommendation, or other high-intent digital product
- Experience leading meaningful product changes in complex environments and connecting product strategy with hands-on execution
- Highly data-informed and know how to turn behavioural, funnel, and query-level insights into clear product direction
- Comfortable partnering with engineering on technical topics such as APIs, ranking, machine learning, performance, and architectural trade-offs
- Strong communicator who can build trust across engineering, UX, data, and business teams and create alignment when priorities compete
- Energised by unsolved problems and motivated to understand why a customer experience is not working, not only how to close the next ticket
- Fluent in English
Nice to Have
- Experience with travel, mobility, marketplaces, e-commerce, or other high-scale consumer platforms
- Experience building or improving AI-assisted, personalised, or conversational discovery experiences
- German or another European language skills
We recognize that everyone carries a unique set of valuable skills and experiences. If you think you could have an impact even though you don't meet 100% of the requirements, we still encourage you to apply. We want to hear from you!
We Offer
- Travel perks: 12 free Flix vouchers + 12 discount vouchers for friends & family.
- Work from (M)Anywhere: Depending on your role, work from another location for up to 60 days per year.
- Hybrid work model: We are an office-first company, but we offer flexibility to balance work and life.
