Job Summary

Own and optimize the full paid performance portfolio for B2B Travel, spanning strategy, execution, and measurement across multiple channels, while driving efficient acquisition from sign-ups to first-bookings and coordinating with Analytics and Product to ensure solid measurement and signal quality.

  • Own end-to-end acquisition motion across channels
  • Collaborate with Analytics and Product to ensure measurement integrity

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • - Own the full paid performance portfolio for B2B Travel, covering strategy, execution, and measurement across all channels: search, social, programmatic, CTV, audio, and emerging platforms.
  • - Drive net-new business sign-ups and improve the rate at which sign-ups convert into first-time bookers, owning both halves of the acquisition motion.
  • - Drive acquisition efficiency, measured against product-line ROAS and LTV:CAC, not channel-level proxies.
  • - Partner across Performance, Analytics, and Product to ensure measurement, attribution, and signal quality reach a high bar across the sign-up and first-booking funnel.
  • - Own the creative testing loop for Travel (hypothesis, variant, scaled winner) in partnership with brand and creative resources.
  • - Lead channel expansion into net-new paid channels (CTV, Spotify and audio, direct mail, emerging platforms) with a structured test-and-graduate framework.
  • - Build and maintain the weekly performance narrative for Travel: what's working, what's not, and what's next.
  • - Coordinate with lifecycle and CRM so paid acquisition hands off cleanly into the customer journey, without owning the email and journey flows yourself.
  • - Use AI tools and workflows to increase throughput: audience building, creative briefing, performance reporting, and in-platform optimization.

Requirements

  • - 7–10 years of performance marketing experience with a track record of driving efficient acquisition against ROAS, LTV:CAC, or payback-period targets.
  • - You've owned a full paid portfolio, not just one or two channels, and know when to scale, hold, or kill spend.
  • - You've managed paid programs at meaningful scale, and you know how to grow spend without letting efficiency slip.
  • - Deep hands-on experience across search, social, and programmatic. Bonus points if you've tested and scaled net-new channels like CTV, audio, podcast, or direct mail.
  • - Strong creative instincts. You can brief, evaluate, and iterate on creative with a clear point of view, not just rely on an agency or designer to drive the loop.
  • - AI-fluent and systems-adaptive. You've actively used AI tools to change how you work, and you can onboard new platforms and workflows without hand-holding.
  • - You understand measurement end-to-end: attribution, incrementality, MMM, and why each matters at different altitudes.
  • - Comfortable with SQL or BI tools at a functional level. You can pull and interpret your own data without waiting on analytics.
  • - B2B SaaS experience preferred. Travel, T&E, or high-velocity B2B backgrounds are a plus.
  • - You lead with data and outcomes, not activity or impressions.
