At Booking.com, data drives our decisions. Technology is at our core and innovation is everywhere. But our company is more than datasets, lines of code or A/B tests. We’re the thrill of the first night in a new place. The excitement of the following morning. The friends you make. The journeys you take. The sights you see. And the food you sample. Through our products, partners and people, we can empower everyone to experience the world.

Machine Learning and AI are integral to booking.com's mission of making it easier for everyone to experience the world. Central Machine Learning (CML) powers many of Booking.com’s flagship ML capabilities.

In the CML department, we’re on a mission to enable a personalized, trusted traveler and partner experience using ML and AI. We envision an ML-enhanced Connected Trip that seamlessly automates tasks with the right level of customer-control, and delivers highly relevant choices & recommendations, at the right price, across the various stages of the trip.

In order to achieve this mission, we build scalable platforms, each one specializing in a different and unique domain - Ranking, Smart Value, Recommendations, Content Intelligence and Generative AI.

Within the CML family, we’re looking for a PM to lead one of our core platforms and ML capabilities in the Content Intelligence domain. These capabilities operate at the heart of CML strategy.

The vision of the Content Intelligence team is “Be the centralized hub for ML enriched-content across Booking.com”. As a Product Manager in the Content Intelligence team, you will lead the strategy, long-term vision, and success definition for our Content Intelligence platform and Content ML capabilities. You’ll connect and work with teams all across the company to help realize the team’s vision and grow value for our customers and businesses.

The Content Intelligence team is composed of passionate engineers and data scientists committed to revolutionizing how travelers discover and book accommodations, flights, attractions, cars, etc.

What does the Content Intelligence group do?

The Content Intelligence team is responsible for delivering best in class content ML & GenAI products, from model development through customer & partner facing applications.

The team works with a variety of stakeholders across the Booking.com organization, in order to provide ML enrichments on B.com’s supply - destinations, properties, attractions, etc. The Content Intelligence team unlocks personalization and enables tailoring the user experience to their explicit and implicit needs.

To make this tangible, think of a team who is interested in personalizing the hotel page to the user's needs. Assuming the user is looking for a family vacation at the beach, this user will see content that will help him assess and decide whether a specific property matches his needs - e.g. photos and reviews of activities with kids, high quality photos of the beach with info on its proximity to the property, relevant reviews from families, questions asked by families, etc.

Join us in this ride, and help leverage Content ML insights across Booking.com, while helping B.com’s users plan and book their trip in the most seamless way possible.
