Think about your last hotel stay. Did you skip the front desk line with mobile check-in? Message the staff for extra pillows? Order a late-night snack with a tap on your phone? Then you’ve likely run into Canary in the wild.

We value rigor and velocity in equal measure: high standards, fast pace, real ownership. If that's the environment you're looking for, this is the place for you.
Come join us! Let’s shape the future of hospitality together.
About the Role
We're looking for a Mobile Product Lead to own and scale Canary's native mobile portfolio — the guest app, hotel staff app, and developer SDKs. This role is at the center of how hotel staff and travelers actually experience our products in the real world, and it carries real weight: you'll define what gets built, drive it from concept to launch, and own the outcomes on the other side.
You'll build new mobile products from 0 → 1, evolve what already exists, and stay close enough to customers to know what's working before the data catches up. If you're energized by owning something end-to-end and want your work to show up in the hands of millions of hotel guests, let's talk.
What You’ll Do
- Own the product strategy and multi-quarter roadmap for Canary's mobile portfolio — the guest app, staff app, and SDK — defining what gets built, what doesn't, and why.
- Build new native mobile products from 0 → 1 that solve real customer problems and open up new revenue streams for the business.
- Stay directly connected to enterprise hotel clients and their leadership teams, understanding how staff and guests actually use the product and turning those insights into a sharper roadmap.
- Partner with Design and Engineering to ship high-quality iOS and Android experiences that set the bar for what hospitality mobile products can be.
- Define the success metrics that matter — activation, engagement, retention, app store ratings — and use them to drive decisions, not just track progress.
- Drive rollout plans, experiments, and cross-team alignment to bring new capabilities to market and ensure GTM teams are ready to sell and support them.
What We’re Looking For
- 7+ years in product management, with at least 3 years owning native mobile products (iOS and/or Android) end-to-end from strategy through launch.
- A track record of shipping high-quality mobile experiences with measurable business impact — not just shipping features.
- Experience building and maintaining developer-facing products (SDKs or APIs), with a clear sense of what makes them easy to adopt and trust.
- Strong customer instincts — you stay close to users between research cycles and can point to specific examples of how that changed what you built.
- Comfortable driving cross-functional execution across engineering, design, and GTM in a fast-moving environment, with clear prioritization and good judgment under pressure.
- Experience in hospitality, travel, or two-sided marketplaces is a plus.
Compensation
Target cash compensation ranges from $190,000-$240,000, including a fixed annual salary and a performance-based bonus paid quarterly.
This role also includes a stock option grant, subject to board approval.
Actual compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's skill level, experience, and specific work location.
