Collaborate internally with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities to streamline and improve business processes
Develop a keen understanding of the market and competitive landscape by keeping abreast of market trends and identifying opportunities for growth
Attend events and conferences as needed, with the flexibility to accommodate occasional evening or schedule changes
Travel within the US approximately one to two times per month to meet partners and represent the company at industry events and conferences.
What We’re Looking For:
3-5 years of working experience in Travel, specifically working at a TMC, OTA or hotel
A track record of building and maintaining strong partnerships, and always seeking the win/win with partnerships
Must be a fast-paced self-starter, with a growth mindset and comfortable working in a sometimes ambiguous environment
Leading with curiosity and collaborating internally to identify opportunities and implement solutions
