Summary

In the online travel industry, with fast-changing user behavior and the increasing role played by price comparison websites, offering the best price grants disproportionate gains. Travelers choose Agoda because they are confident that they can find the best hotels at the best price.

• Coordinate with the Market Development team to gather price benchmarking data and respond to market moves from competitors and hotel partners.
• Design and deploy pricing strategies, balancing short-term financial goals with long-term strategic imperatives.
• Manage a multi-million dollar budget and provide visibility to internal stakeholders.
• Inspire and coach a team of analysts and campaign managers, and expand the team by hiring new talent.

• Experience articulating strategic issues and negotiating with C-level executives; experience in strategy consulting is a plus.
• Excellent analytical skills with a passion for data.
• Ability to foster cooperation across diverse teams and nationalities.
• Proven people management skills, including hiring and developing talent.
