Introduction to the Team
We create and deliver tailored marketing strategies for Expedia Group’s brands, focusing on establishing strong connections and cohesive experiences for travelers and partners. We leverage our functional expertise and creative excellence to build trust and loyalty for our brands through innovative marketing approaches and technology.
Expedia Group is seeking a highly technical, builder-mindset Principal Product Manager to own Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). As AI agents increasingly mediate how travelers discover and choose, AEO has rapidly become a primary channel for reaching them. AEO ensures EG’s brands, supply, and content are surfaced and cited by horizontal AI agents that retrieve and synthesize information on behalf of travelers.
This is a senior individual contributor role, designed for a builder. The Principal PM will own the channel-level thesis, roadmap, technical execution, measurement, and performance outcomes end to end. The role carries a dotted line into a dedicated engineering pod and is empowered to move quickly. This role reports to the Head of Organic & Agentic Search.
In this role, you will:
Channel Strategy & Roadmap
- Own the AEO strategy, roadmap, and outcomes end to end, sequencing investment across the full retrieval stack.
- Map the full AEO journey: from how LLMs are trained and source data, to how live retrieval surfaces select and rank content, to how bots land on EG gateways and assets. Use the journey to identify where intervention compounds.
- Translate the evolving LLM and answer-engine landscape into clear strategic prioritization decisions.
Market Intelligence & Thesis Building
- Monitor the frontier AI ecosystem continuously: model releases, product updates, and roadmap signals from frontier labs and answer-engine platforms.
- Track industry news, academic research, and emerging protocols relevant to retrieval, agent behavior, and answer-engine mechanics.
- Build and maintain a structured point of view on where the answer-engine market is heading, what changes mean for EG, and which shifts demand action versus observation.
- Develop relationships with frontier labs, answer-engine platforms, and AI-native peers to maintain primary-source signal rather than relying on secondary coverage.
- Synthesize research, market signal, and EG’s own data into theses that inform channel strategy, product investment, and the broader organization’s view of agentic search.
Retrieval & Access Optimization
- Drive optimization across the live retrieval path, from web and agent indices through to landing on EG surfaces.
- Identify and pull the high-leverage levers across gateway configuration, filetype strategy, and content structure that govern bot access and comprehension.
- Lead technical enhancements on filetypes, sizes, indexation, bot definitions, permissions, and gateway routing to maximize accessibility for both model training and live retrieval.
- Own optimization of the AEO bot journey end to end.
Measurement & Analytics
- Define and operate the AEO measurement system, including bot crawl analytics, indexation tracking, AI visibility metrics, and downstream traffic and revenue signals.
- Establish leading and lagging indicators that ladder to channel North Star metrics, with rigorous, decision-grade measurement.
- Own AEO performance in internal and external forums, translating technical signal into clear narratives for executive and external audiences.
Product Development & Systemization
- Translate channel learnings into durable products and systems. For example: atomizing pages to better understand bot preferences, or scaling a portfolio of filetypes and routing logic served to different bots.
- Apply a desirability / feasibility / viability lens to rank what to productionalize, recognizing that not every learning warrants a system.
- Lead a dedicated engineering pod via dotted-line authority, using agents and automation to amplify output.
- Continuously monitor LLM and answer-engine platforms for algorithm updates, product changes, and errors that materially impact AEO performance, and lead rapid response when they do.
Executive Communications & Presentations
- Translate complex retrieval mechanics, measurement results, and channel strategy into clear, concise narratives for C-suite, board, and senior cross-functional audiences.
- Produce executive-grade written and visual artifacts: strategy documents, decision memos, performance readouts, and presentations that build conviction and drive decisions.
- Represent AEO in senior internal forums and selected external venues, framing trade-offs and recommendations with the structure and clarity expected at the executive level.
- Operate with strong executive presence: synthesize fast-moving information into a clear point of view and defend it under scrutiny.
Minimum qualifications:
- 10+ years in product management, growth, or technical product leadership, with increasing scope and ownership
- Demonstrated zero-to-one track record: has built and scaled a net-new channel, capability, or product from inception to measurable commercial outcomes, not inherited an existing operation
- Ability to read and reason about LLM training and data sourcing, retrieval-augmented generation, web indices, crawler behavior, structured data, and gateway/CDN configuration well enough to build independently
- Strong measurement and experimentation discipline: has operated a real measurement and experiment system with clear hypotheses, decision criteria, and post-experiment translation into product or marketing changes
- Strong executive communication: clean presentations, executive presence, and the ability to drive alignment across senior cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority
- Comfort with ambiguity, fast cycles, and high-velocity decision making
Preferred qualifications:
- Founder or founder-adjacent experience strongly preferred. Candidates who have started, scaled, or made early-stage investments in AI, search, or platform businesses bring directly transferable pattern recognition
- Deep experience in SEO, AEO, organic growth, retrieval systems, or an analogous technical channel where the lever set is infrastructure, not creative
- Active immersion in the AI and answer-engine ecosystem: built relationships with frontier labs, retrieval platforms, or AI-native startups treated as a meaningful signal of genuine engagement, not just familiarity
The total cash range for this position in Seattle is $269,000.00 to $376,500.00. Employees in this role have the potential to increase their pay up to $430,500.00, which is the top of the range, based on ongoing, demonstrated, and sustained performance in the role. Starting pay for this role will vary based on multiple factors, including location, available budget, and an individual’s knowledge, skills, and experience. Pay ranges may be modified in the future.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Expedia Group H-1B Visa Sponsorship Jobs USA
Align your degree to Expedia's specialty occupation roles
H-1B approval at Expedia Group depends on your degree field matching the specific role. For software and data roles, a degree in computer science, mathematics, or engineering is expected. A business degree alone won't support a software engineering petition, even with years of relevant experience.
Target Expedia's product and engineering org specifically
Expedia Group's H-1B sponsorship is concentrated in its core technology divisions: platform engineering, data and analytics, and product development. Applying to roles in these teams puts you in the pipeline where sponsorship is a standard part of recruiting, not an exception that requires special approval.
Verify your prevailing wage before salary negotiations
Before accepting an offer from Expedia Group, run the role's SOC code through the OFLC Wage Search to confirm the prevailing wage for your metro area. Expedia must certify your wage meets or exceeds that level on the Labor Condition Application, so your offer needs to clear that threshold.
Use Migrate Mate to check Expedia's H-1B filing history
Before applying, pull Expedia Group's LCA filing history by job title on Migrate Mate. You can see which roles the company has actively sponsored, which office locations appear most often, and whether your target team has a consistent pattern of H-1B filings in recent years.
Flag your visa status early in the recruiter screen
Disclosing your H-1B requirement at the first recruiter conversation saves both sides time. Expedia Group's talent acquisition teams in tech hiring are familiar with sponsorship logistics, and early disclosure lets them route you to hiring managers who have approved headcount for sponsored roles.
Understand cap timing relative to your current status
If you're on OPT or STEM OPT when Expedia files your H-1B petition, your work authorization must remain valid through the April filing window and ideally into the October 1 start date. Confirm your OPT end date against the H-1B lottery calendar before accepting a start date.
Expedia Group H-1B Visa Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Expedia Group sponsor H-1B visas?
Yes, Expedia Group sponsors H-1B visas and does so on a regular basis for roles in software engineering, data science, machine learning, and product management. Sponsorship is most common in its core technology and platform divisions. The company files petitions in both the regular cap and the U.S. master's cap categories.
Which departments at Expedia Group are most likely to sponsor H-1B visas?
H-1B sponsorship at Expedia Group is concentrated in engineering, data and analytics, and product development teams. Roles involving software architecture, data engineering, machine learning, and technical program management see the most consistent sponsorship activity. Corporate functions like marketing or finance are less commonly sponsored and generally require stronger business justification for a petition.
How do I navigate the H-1B application process at Expedia Group?
Once Expedia Group extends a conditional offer, its immigration team or outside counsel handles the Labor Condition Application filing with DOL, then submits the I-129 petition to USCIS during the April registration window. Your main responsibilities are providing educational credentials and employment history documentation promptly. The process is employer-driven, but staying responsive to document requests keeps the timeline on track.
How long does H-1B sponsorship take at Expedia Group?
The H-1B lottery registration opens in March, with USCIS selecting petitions in late March or early April. If selected, Expedia's counsel files your full petition by June 30. Employment on H-1B status begins no earlier than October 1 of that fiscal year. Premium processing, which USCIS offers for an additional fee, can reduce adjudication time to roughly 15 business days after filing.
How do I find H-1B roles at Expedia Group that are actively sponsored?
Use Migrate Mate to search Expedia Group's LCA disclosure history and identify which job titles and office locations the company has sponsored under H-1B in recent filing cycles. Cross-reference those titles with Expedia's current job postings to prioritize roles where sponsorship is already established practice rather than a new request that requires internal approval.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B jobs at Expedia Group?
H-1B employers must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is determined when they file the Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor. The rate is based on the role, location, and experience level, and ensures international hires are paid comparably to U.S. workers in the same position. You can look up prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the DOL's OFLC Wage Search tool.
