Principal Product Manager, Travel

Have you ever had that green-light feeling? When you hit every green light and the day just feels like magic. CLEAR's mission is to create frictionless experiences where every day has that feeling. With more than 30+ million passionate members and hundreds of partners around the world, CLEAR’s identity platform is transforming the way people live, work, and travel. Whether it’s at the airport, stadium, or right on your phone, CLEAR connects you to the things that make you, you - unlocking easier, more secure, and more seamless experiences - making them all feel like magic.

CLEAR is constantly looking to find ways to improve the day-of-travel experience for all travelers by investing in new products and technologies. The Principal Product Manager will work closely with Engineering leadership and the Aviation team to define and build the next generation of products at CLEAR to enable global scale and operational excellence of these experiences to millions of travelers worldwide.

Ideal candidates possess vision, grit, and attention to detail to make that vision a reality. You must enjoy engaging with customers and evangelizing their needs.
