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.

About the Role

  • 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

About You

  • You have 8+ years of product management experience, ideally including ownership of a search, discovery, marketplace, recommendation, or other high-intent digital product
  • You have led meaningful product changes in complex environments and can connect product strategy with hands-on execution
  • You are highly data-informed and know how to turn behavioural, funnel, and query-level insights into clear product direction
  • You are comfortable partnering with engineering on technical topics such as APIs, ranking, machine learning, performance, and architectural trade-offs
  • You are a strong communicator who can build trust across engineering, UX, data, and business teams and create alignment when priorities compete
  • You are energised by unsolved problems and motivated to understand why a customer experience is not working, not only how to close the next ticket
  • You are 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!  

What 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.
