  • Own the regional competitive view across both guest and host and enable capabilities locally for country teams for local competitors
  • Build AI-enabled automation into the region's reporting, insight delivery and recurring operations that scales team output
  • Synthesize data, trends, guest and host insights, and analysis into actionable recommendations for the regional business

  • Proven track record building and running business operating cadences for a distributed organization: reporting, business reviews, and the follow-through that makes commitments land
  • Exceptional cross-functional orchestration in a heavily matrixed organization, creating clarity where ownership is split across product, growth marketing, payments, supply and country teams
  • Strong operating discipline: cross-workstream roadmaps, launch management, business reviews and executive reporting, and crisp written communication that keeps distributed teams aligned
  • Builds operational leverage with AI: applying AI and automation to reporting, insight generation and repetitive operational work, with measurable time saved or scale gained
  • Analytical fluency: comfortable in the numbers, builds the analysis personally, and sets consistent measurement standards with analytics and finance partners (Excel)
  • Thrives in ambiguity, with a strong bias to action, ownership and ruthless prioritization
