  • Develop positioning, messaging, and sales narratives that connect platform capabilities to Travel-specific performance goals such as demand generation, booking conversion, and revenue growth.
  • Enable Sales teams through playbooks, training, and objection handling tailored to Travel and Entertainment advertisers with complex decision cycles.
  • Serve as a strategic partner to Product teams by translating advertiser feedback and market insights into clear recommendations for product prioritization and roadmap development.
  • Lead advertiser onboarding and enablement programs that help Travel brands successfully launch, optimize, and scale performance campaigns.

  • Direct experience working with Travel, Entertainment, or Commerce advertisers and understanding their booking and revenue models.
  • Strong understanding of performance marketing concepts such as demand generation, conversion optimization, and ROAS, with a focus on business outcomes rather than proxy metrics.
  • Proven ability to translate complex product capabilities into clear, compelling narratives for sales teams and advertisers.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication skills and experience working closely with Product, Sales, and regional teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience supporting advertisers with multi-step or longer consideration journeys, such as Travel or high-value commerce.
