ABOUT THE ROLE

As Product Operation Specialist within the Flights Supply team, you will help Flights Supply investigate issues and help uncover solutions for some of our highest-impact problems. You will serve as a subject matter expert on all of our booking service providers with a specialized focus on our HTS International Portals products: monitoring their health, identifying issues, recommending solutions, and supporting new content launches. You will need to be able to roll your sleeves up to get to the core source of an issue, working with multiple stakeholders internal and external to provide samples of problems and strategize solutions. You will also help us test new product launches and communicate where necessary with our provider partners to troubleshoot.
This position requires a highly analytical and self-driven individual who can successfully manage multiple shifting priorities and juggle multiple projects at once. The ideal candidate is a competent self-starter who stays cool under pressure, has an eye for detail, and enjoys the challenge of learning to understand systems and products that they may not already be familiar with.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Be a subject matter expert in navigating our booking environments and answering stakeholder questions related to bugs, missing content, and new product launches.
• Own portions of operation health measurement, alerting, and incident reporting.
• Serve as an incident manager as needed for high-impact outages and product issues.
• Liaison with stakeholders at vendor partners to report issues and strategize solutions.
• Set requirements for new product launches to ensure benchmarks are met.
• Field questions from company stakeholders via intake process and document reported bugs.
• Work with product and engineering teams to strategize solutions to known bugs, create tickets to report said bugs, and test fixes once implemented.
• Run tests in the app environment when new content or products are launched.
• Maintain high-quality documentation of systems, processes, and settings.
• Flex as needed to support operational tasks in an ad-hoc manner.
