Partner Integration Manager - Spanish Markets

Partner Integration Manager

At Trainline, the Industry Operations team sits at the intersection of our partners and our platform, shaping how rail carriers integrate, evolve, and grow with us. This role is pivotal in aligning external partners with our internal Product, Engineering, Commercial, and Legal teams to deliver high‑impact solutions.

You will own the technical relationship with key Spanish partners and carriers, ensuring their capabilities are effectively represented in our product roadmap while driving initiatives that support business continuity, customer experience, and market growth. This role requires strong technical fluency, commercial judgement, and the ability to influence across the organisation.

This role can be based in London, Paris, or Barcelona.

• Define and drive product and engineering priorities on a regular cadence, ensuring alignment with business goals and partner needs
• Negotiate enhancements to partner capabilities, both within existing agreements and through new opportunities
• Use data and insight to inform prioritisation, trade‑offs, and decision‑making across competing business needs
• Analyse requirements and ensure dependencies, risks, and constraints are clearly identified and managed ahead of delivery
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Platform teams to coordinate cross‑functional delivery
• Own and maintain clear documentation of technical requirements, priorities, decisions, and trade‑offs to ensure transparency and alignment
• Navigate and influence a complex stakeholder landscape, both internally and externally

Qualifications

• Fluency in Spanish and English (essential)
• Strong understanding of APIs and technical integrations, with the ability to assess partner capabilities, identify commercial and technical trade‑offs, and drive improvements in integration quality and performance
• Experience engaging in technical discussions, with the ability to translate between business and engineering contexts
• Strong analytical and data skills (e.g. SQL; familiarity with GitLab or GitHub is a plus; experience with data visualisation tools such as Tableau is beneficial)
• Proven ability to manage external partners and complex stakeholder environments
• Demonstrated ability to operate in complex, domain‑heavy environments and make informed trade‑offs
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to influence at all levels
• Familiarity with software development concepts
