We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to define how AppZen helps enterprises control, understand, and optimize spend, with a particular focus on travel spend. For most organizations, travel is among the largest and hardest-to-control parts of their spend. It is spread across booking tools, travel management companies (TMCs), corporate cards, and expense reports, and many costs only show up after the trip is over. This role covers the full spend lifecycle: pre-trip approval and policy, booking and in-trip spend, and expense reconciliation and analytics. The goal is to give finance and travel leaders real-time visibility and control without slowing travelers down. We're looking for someone who has built travel or spend management products before, knows the competitive landscape, and can design AI-driven experiences that serve the CFO's office, travel managers, and everyday employees.

Define the product strategy and roadmap for AppZen's spend management capabilities, with travel spend as a core focus, across expense, corporate card, and purchasing workflows

Develop a deep understanding of the travel and spend management market, including competitors, TMCs, booking platforms, and customer buying criteria, to identify where AppZen should differentiate

Design pre-trip and at-spend controls, such as travel requests and approvals, booking policy (airfare class, hotel rate caps, advance-purchase rules), per diems, budgets, and spend limits, so that out-of-policy spend is stopped before it happens

Connect the full trip lifecycle by matching bookings, TMC data, card transactions, and expense reports into one view of each trip, catching duplicates, missing receipts, and leakage when travelers book outside approved channels

Define how AI-driven automation extends across the spend lifecycle: categorizing transactions, flagging policy violations, detecting anomalies such as unused tickets and inflated hotel folios, and recommending actions, all within enterprise governance requirements

Build travel and spend analytics that give finance and travel leaders a real-time, actionable view by traveler, department, supplier, route, and budget, supporting supplier negotiations and policy optimization

Own integrations with booking tools, TMCs, card programs, ERPs, HRIS, and procurement systems so spend data flows accurately and completely into AppZen

Translate complex enterprise requirements, such as global travel policy, multi-entity, VAT reclaim, duty of care, and audit, into scalable product capabilities rather than one-off implementations

Partner with Engineering, Design, Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing to take new capabilities from concept through customer adoption, and define success metrics to measure impact

5+ years of product management experience, including meaningful time focused on corporate travel, travel & expense (T&E), spend management, or corporate cards

Hands-on experience building B2B travel or spend management products for mid-market or enterprise organizations

Strong understanding of the corporate travel ecosystem, including TMCs, online booking tools, GDS and supplier data, travel policy, and how travel data connects to card and expense data

Strong understanding of the spend lifecycle: policy, request and approval, transaction capture, categorization, reconciliation, and reporting

Experience taking at least one travel or spend management product or major capability from concept through production launch

Familiarity with the market landscape (e.g., SAP Concur, Navan, Amex GBT, Emburse, Ramp, Brex) and the ability to articulate where products win and lose

Experience designing for multiple personas, including finance leaders, travel managers, approvers, and travelers, while balancing control with ease of use

Strong product judgment, including the ability to prioritize across competing customer needs and make build-versus-partner decisions

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams

Background at a TMC, online booking tool, travel supplier, or T&E platform

Experience applying AI/ML to finance or travel workflows such as audit, anomaly detection, or classification

Experience with corporate card programs, virtual cards for travel (lodged or central travel accounts), or card-issuing platforms

Background in global or multi-entity travel programs (multi-currency, VAT/GST reclaim, regional policy, duty of care)

Experience integrating with ERP, HRIS, travel, or procurement systems (e.g., Oracle, SAP, Workday, NetSuite)

Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Competitive salary and bonus or variable incentive pay (role-dependent)

Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance

Unlimited PTO

Paid parental leave (eligible employees)

401(k) match

$250 annual learning & development reimbursement
