R-21031 Account Manager Southern Europe Expedia Partner Solutions

Do you have passion for travel & technology combined with excellent communication skills and eye for business? We are looking for you!

Private Label Solutions (PLS) is the B2B arm of Expedia Group. We open up our supply and innovative technology to businesses looking to take on the world of travel. These businesses, sometimes referred to as our ‘demand partners’, include global financial institutions (e.g. AMEX), corporate managed travel, offline travel agents (e.g. Flight Centre), global travel suppliers (e.g. Delta) and many more.

In this role, you will be responsible for handling PLS’s relationships with our medium existing partners.

You will mainly be focused on servicing medium-sized accounts, but there will also be a requirement to identify which smaller sized revenue partners have the potential to grow into medium or large partners in the future.

You will partner with accounts mainly through remote work, but there will also be some face-to-face interaction.

The portfolio, comprising approximately 15 accounts, might cover several markets across Southern Europe Region.

You will get to provide leadership to your portfolio of partners, knowing how to successfully navigate the PLS organization and when to involve other teams. You will handle all activity related to your partners and engage and use technology, customer operations, finance, sales support, analytics, and legal teams as necessary.

Partnering closely with the business development, you will ensure a smooth account transition process for medium-sized partners and drive strong post-launch results.

• Renegotiate and renew contracts with partners to develop mutually beneficial deals for both Expedia and the partner

• Identify best practices and proactively share them with affiliate partners

• Form strong business relationships remotely (via phone, Zoom, email) and occasionally face to face. Some travel will be required (~10% of your time)

Who you are

• Highly fluent in English, Spanish, and an additional European language (French and/or Italian), with excellent presentation and communication skills.

• Minimum 3 years of B2B Account Management experience in the Travel industry, with strong negotiation skills and ability to build long-term strategic relationships.
