As Program Manager in the Partnerships Strategy Team, you’ll be responsible to support the leadership team for the B2B Partnerships channel within Booking.com’s Marketing organisation. This will involve helping set the strategic direction, overseeing critical strategic projects end-to-end, working across various functions and departments, and owning overall business operations and processes (e.g., planning and prioritisation).

You will work closely with the leadership team (LT) and senior management of Partnerships to help define vision, set strategy, and facilitate both short- and long-term planning of the department.

To be successful in this role, you will need deep experience on projects of global scope and management of cross-functional groups -- from concept, through to execution, data analysis, recommendation and implementation.
