  • Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams (Hotels.com Product, Strategy, Marketing, as well as other Analytics teams) to identify key business challenges and provide analytical insights and recommendations to support decision‑making.
  • Drive action to improve Hotels.com KPIs (such as revenue, engagement, retention, and marketplace health), utilizing the 80/20 rule to focus effort on the most impactful results. Demonstrate creativity and persistence in overcoming roadblocks.
  • Develop and maintain clear and user‑friendly dashboards and reports to track and analyze KPIs (e.g., customer value, engagement, campaign outcomes). Train stakeholders on their usage.
  • Be curious and constantly monitor key metrics and trends to proactively suggest actions, test ideas, or highlight business opportunities for Hotels.com.

Who you are
  • Mastery of SQL and experience working with complex data ecosystems.
  • Proficiency in Tableau, with published dashboards serving as reference for the business.
  • Proven track record in translating big data into strategic and actionable business recommendations; driving end-to-end processes through data extraction, analysis, insight, implementation, and evaluation.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly and concisely.
  • Robust experience applying statistical methods and experimentation techniques such as A/B testing and Pre/Post analyses.
  • Demonstrated experience working with Director + stakeholders to influence decisions and drive outcomes.
  • Solid business acumen and problem-solving abilities.
  • Strong technical foundation in analytics and data storytelling.
  • Ability to appropriately visualize quantitative analyses for both presentations (e.g., PowerPoint) and reporting purposes (e.g., Tableau).
