At Range Group we believe in the power of the professional travel advisor. We represent over $4.5 billion in annual travel sales. All our investments stem from a common thesis, that travel advisors add real value to a trip. Travel advisors when equipped with technology and 24/7 support are irreplaceable. Equally important is our philanthropy. Range Foundation channels 10% of group profits to social impact. From exploration grants, improved access to education, new discoveries on sea and land, cultural infrastructure, and helping our global neighbors in times of need — we are investing to build a better future. TripArc connects travel advisors to a broad network of air content which can be sourced through Global Distribution Systems (GDSs), New Distribution Capability (NDC) channels, and air content aggregators. Air supply is fragmented across legacy GDS pipelines, direct-connect carrier APIs, and newer NDC offers — each with distinct fare construction rules, ancillary models, and ticketing requirements. TripArc aggregates this content through a centralized integration layer, normalizing fares, schedules, ancillaries, and booking flows into a consistent format that advisors can shop, price, and ticket through the platform. The Technical Product Owner in this role will own the product backlog for the Air pod, managing how new carrier, GDS, NDC, and consolidator connectivity options are evaluated, onboarded, and mapped into TripArc’s internal data model. The Technical Product Owner is solely responsible for maintaining the Product Backlog at a pod-level, using input from the Director of Technology and other team members, the development team, the Solutions & Support team, procurement, and supplier partners to prioritize and communicate backlog items ahead of all Scrum ceremonies. They ensure the Product Backlog is visible, transparent, and understood at all times. Even where responsibilities such as technical ticket writing are delegated to a developer lead or architect, the Product Owner remains accountable for the outcome. Working within the Trifecta (Product, UX, Development) model, the Technical Product Owner anticipates the needs of stakeholders across the organization, including those not directly involved in day‑to‑day delivery, and ensures that all requests for backlog changes are evaluated and approved through them.
