  • Develop strategy docs and requirements that product and technology partners can build against.

  • Collaborate with product managers across the Re-engagement and Trip Management & Loyalty portfolios to ensure marketing strategy is prioritized and reflected in roadmap decisions.

  • Maintain and evolve customer lifecycle frameworks and segmentation inputs that inform how we engage customers across their journey.
     

AI & Marketing Systems

  • Identify, evaluate, and pilot AI-powered tools and automation workflows that increase the team's speed, personalization capability, and output quality.

  • Build repeatable systems that reduce manual effort across campaign development, briefing, and performance summarization.

  • Champion AI adoption within the team and contribute real marketing use cases to Priceline's enterprise AI strategy.
     

Customer Data & Growth

  • Support Customer 360 initiatives by translating customer data into actionable insights that inform retention, loyalty, and growth strategy.

  • Represent marketing needs in how customer data is structured, surfaced, and activated with data and product partners.

  • Contribute to personalization and recommendations initiatives from a marketing strategy perspective.
     

Who You Are

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in marketing, business, or a related field.

  • 8+ years in lifecycle marketing, retention strategy, CRM, or a closely related discipline.

  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with AI tools in a professional context, experimenting, building, and finding real applications.

  • Comfortable working in or alongside a product operating model; you know how to collaborate with product managers effectively.

  • Strong organizational instincts for managing complex, multi-stakeholder work across a cross-functional team.

  • Clear, confident communicator who can translate strategic vision into product requirements, briefs, and executive updates.

  • Familiar with CRM or marketing automation platforms (Iterable, Braze, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, or similar).

  • Comfortable engaging with customer data concepts such as segmentation, CLV, and behavioral analytics.

  • Naturally curious and energized by ambiguity; you thrive where the work is evolving.

  • Travel, e-commerce, or subscription experience is a plus.

  • Demonstrated history of living Priceline's values: Customer, Innovation, Team, Accountability, and Trust. Unquestionable integrity and ethics.
     

    There are a variety of factors that go into determining a salary range, including but not limited to external market benchmark data, geographic location, and years of experience sought/required. In addition to a competitive base salary, certain roles may be eligible for an annual bonus and/or equity grant.
     

    The salary range for this position is $110,000-$135,000.
