About the Role

The Performance Manager (MSE) takes full ownership of our Hotel and Car Rental verticals across premier global metasearch platforms like Google Hotel Ads, TripAdvisor, and Skyscanner. Serving as the key bridge between external partners and internal Product, Engineering, and Pricing teams, you manage both the commercial and technical integrity of our partnerships. Your mission is to drive channel growth through daily optimizations and deep performance analysis. By balancing daily campaign management with strategic commercial management, you will be instrumental in scaling our global footprint and delivering sustainable business growth.
