Product Builder

Department: Product & Technology

About Navigator

Navigator is a travel-focused ad tech platform built for scale, precision and impact.

Following our recent Series A funding round, we're evolving from a digital consultancy into a data-driven advertising platform that sits at the intersection of travel intelligence and multi-channel media execution.

We ingest second-party data from leading travel companies, including OTAs, airlines and metasearch platforms. We use this data to build sophisticated audience segments and activate them across all major advertising platforms. Wherever our clients' travellers are, we have a way to reach them.

We're building towards an agentic advertising future, where AI-driven automation handles execution, supported by expert human decision-making. This is an opportunity to help shape that platform while working with leading hospitality and travel brands at the forefront of digital advertising.

About the Role

We are looking for a Product Builder to join our team and help shape, design and build the next generation of advertising technology products and solutions.

Working at the intersection of product, design, engineering, data and digital advertising, you will take ownership of initiatives from initial idea and customer discovery through to design, development and production.

You will work across the business to identify opportunities, solve complex problems and build products that make advertising smarter, more effective and more efficient. This could include developing internal tools, automating campaign workflows, building data-driven solutions, improving reporting and measurement capabilities, or creating new technology to deliver better outcomes for our clients.

This is not a traditional Product Manager role. We are looking for someone who can move seamlessly between identifying a problem, understanding the user, designing a solution, building a prototype and writing production-ready code.

You will be comfortable working with ambiguity, challenging conventional thinking and making independent decisions. You will combine strong product judgement with excellent design and technical skills, using emerging technologies, including AI and agentic systems, to accelerate how we build and deliver value.

Ultimately, you will turn opportunities into working products that create measurable value for our business, our people and our clients.

What You'll Be Doing

1. Product Discovery & Ownership

- Take ownership of product initiatives from initial discovery and problem definition through to design, development, launch and ongoing improvement.
- Work closely with client-facing teams, internal stakeholders and users to identify opportunities to improve advertising products, services and workflows.
- Understand the challenges facing advertisers, publishers, agencies and internal teams, translating these into practical technology solutions.
- Challenge existing processes and assumptions, identifying where technology can simplify operations, improve efficiency or create new commercial opportunities.
- Conduct qualitative and quantitative research, including user interviews, behavioural analysis, data exploration and experimentation.
- Define clear objectives and success measures for every initiative, ensuring products deliver measurable business and customer value.
- Evaluate whether a new solution needs to be built or whether existing platforms, tools and capabilities can solve the problem.
- Identify and implement improvements across the products and systems you own.

2. Product Design & User Experience

- Translate complex business and advertising challenges into intuitive, user-friendly digital products and experiences.
- Lead the design process, from user journeys and wireframes through to polished interfaces and interactive prototypes.
- Apply strong UX and UI principles to create products that are simple,



accessible and effective.
- Prototype and test ideas early, using feedback and evidence to validate solutions before investing in full development.
- Develop consistent experiences that align with our design standards and contribute to the evolution of our design systems.
- Balance user needs, commercial objectives and technical constraints when making design decisions.

3. Technology & Product Development

- Design, build and launch production-ready applications, tools and technology solutions.
- Write clean, scalable and maintainable code, taking responsibility for the quality and performance of the products you deliver.
- Build solutions with security, reliability, testing, monitoring and future scalability in mind.
- Work across APIs, data integrations and third-party platforms to connect systems and unlock new capabilities.
- Explore opportunities to improve advertising operations through automation, workflow optimisation and intelligent technology.
- Understand the technical and commercial implications of third-party tools, platforms and vendors, including costs, scalability and potential dependencies.
- Take ownership of troubleshooting and resolving issues within your products and technical domain.

4. AI, Automation & Emerging Technology

- Identify opportunities to use AI, machine learning and agentic technologies to improve products, services and operational efficiency.
- Build and integrate AI-powered tools and workflows that solve real business and client challenges.
- Understand when to use traditional software logic, automation, APIs or AI models to deliver the most effective solution.
- Develop appropriate testing, evaluation and safeguards to ensure AI-powered solutions are reliable, secure and fit for purpose.
- Consider the cost, scalability and performance implications of AI technologies when designing solutions.
- Continuously explore emerging technologies and identify practical opportunities to bring innovation into our products and ways of working.
- Share knowledge and help colleagues understand how AI and automation can improve the way we work.

5. Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

- Work collaboratively across product, design, engineering, data, media and client teams to deliver cross-functional initiatives.
- Communicate product decisions, technical considerations, progress and potential challenges clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Build strong relationships across the business, understanding different perspectives and translating them into effective solutions.
- Take ownership of decisions within your area of responsibility, knowing when to act independently and when wider input is needed.
- Support and mentor colleagues, sharing knowledge and encouraging best practice across product, design and engineering.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of our technology, processes, tools and ways of working.
- Challenge existing approaches constructively and encourage a culture of experimentation, innovation and accountability.
