START DATE: ASAAP

Our client, a leading name in luxury travel, is looking for a commercially minded Product Manager to take ownership of the growth, performance and strategic direction of their East African product portfolio.

This is far more than a supplier management role. You'll be given real ownership of a region — driving revenue growth, improving gross margin and profitability, building strategic supplier partnerships, and shaping one of the most compelling luxury East Africa portfolios in the market.

You'll sit at the intersection of Product, Sales and Marketing, using commercial data, market insight and your own industry relationships to spot opportunities, sharpen product performance, and build a portfolio that both inspires luxury travel partners and delivers strong financial results.

A key part of the role will be building and managing high-value relationships with East Africa's leading lodges, camps, hotels, experience providers and other strategic partners. You'll negotiate industry-leading commercial terms, uncover opportunities for exclusivity and value-adds, and develop partnerships that give our client a genuine competitive edge.

You'll also become the internal go-to expert on East Africa — equipping Sales and Marketing teams with the knowledge, product insight and commercial tools they need to convert more business and grow the region.

Ultimately, you'll be accountable for the commercial health and growth of the East Africa portfolio — revenue, margin, profitability, product performance and strategic supplier relationships. If you're commercially driven, relationship-focused, and passionate about luxury African travel, this is a rare opportunity to shape a region and make it your own.

• Continuously research the market to identify new and emerging lodges, camps, hotels, private reserves, experiences and destinations.
