For airports. For partners. For passengers. For people.
We are Cavu - a travel-tech and hospitality company built to make journeys smoother, more rewarding and more human.
From our platform that helps airports unlock more value across the passenger journey, to our airport lounges and hospitality experiences people love, everything we do is designed to make travel better - for passengers and the businesses that serve them.
That takes people with fresh ideas, different perspectives and the confidence to challenge what already exists. At Cavu, you’ll have the space to think, the support to grow and the freedom to be yourself.
Whether you’re working from one of our offices, at home, in our lounges or on the road, you’ll be empowered to create, innovate and help shape better travel experiences.
Know the way. Together, we can reach new heights.
We’re looking for a Product Owner to join our Commerce Product team and help shape the continued evolution of Propel, our technology platform for airport products and services.
Initially, you’ll lead an important programme bringing MAG’s turn-up parking journeys into Propel. You’ll work closely with colleagues across Cavu and MAG to create a modern, scalable experience that supports customers who pay for airport parking or pick-up and drop-off services on arrival.
You’ll be part of a cross-functional squad, working alongside a Tech Lead and Delivery Lead, as well as engineers, quality assurance and UX specialists. You’ll have the autonomy to shape your product area, supported by a wider Product and Technology community when you need it.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a high-profile product roadmap, balance customer and commercial priorities, and help build technology that can scale across airports and international B2B markets.
Own and continually refine the product backlog, keeping it aligned with customer needs, commercial goals and relevant B2B market opportunities.
Shape and communicate a clear roadmap, using evidence to make thoughtful decisions when priorities compete.
Translate business and technical needs into clear epics, user stories and acceptance criteria.
Act as the point of accountability for product scope, sequencing and priorities.
Work closely with engineering, architecture, UX, delivery, commercial teams and external partners to turn complex requirements into valuable product outcomes.
Lead backlog refinement, sprint planning, reviews and retrospectives with your cross-functional squad.
Travel or airport-sector experience would be helpful, but it is not essential. Strong ecommerce product experience and the ability to transfer your knowledge into a new environment matter most.

We’re building something brilliant at Cavu: a diverse team of people who reflect the global customer base we serve. We’re proudly part of MAG, and together we’re on a mission to be number one in our industries, and that takes talent in all its forms.

Manchester Airports Group (MAG) is the UK’s largest airports group. Collectively, MAG owns and operates three UK airports – Manchester, London Stansted, and East Midlands – alongside digital travel services business, CAVU.
Last year 54m passengers flew through our airports, and we contributed more than £8bn to the UK economy. MAG directly employs 7,000 people and supports more than 40,000 jobs across the supply chain.
We understand airports and air travel better than anyone. Our impact spans the length of the UK, with around 70% of the population living within a two-hour journey of a MAG airport. By working with a wide range of airlines to forge long-term partnerships that maximise the choice and value available to passengers, we have grown a large route network that connects people and businesses to the globe.
Looking ahead, we are ambitious and focused on making the future of travel better. We are investing in our airports to launch new routes, and give our passengers the best experience. In CAVU, we are using MAG’s decades of aviation experience and industry-leading consumer insights to revolutionise airport travel. And, running through everything we do, we are working confidently towards a sustainable future and achieving net zero for aviation by 2050.
