Company Overview:

We believe that we are better together, and at Tripadvisor we welcome you for who you are. Our workplace is for everyone, as is our people powered platform. At Tripadvisor, we want you to bring your unique perspective and experiences, so we can collectively revolutionize travel and together find the good out there.

TripAdvisor is the world’s largest online travel site, visited by 390 million travellers each month, and our Experiences business, Viator, is a fascinating and ever-evolving part of the organisation. 

At Viator, the ob Descriptiononly thing we love more than travel is data. We slice it, we dice it, and we use it to empower our decision making. 

As the Director of Customer Lifecycle Management, you will be responsible for overseeing the creation and implementation of strategies that maximise customer value and loyalty, globally. You will be joining us at an exciting time, as our fast (acquisition) growth means we need a strong, proven leader to help us build and scale capabilities around our customer base.

Your primary responsibility will be to strategize, design, and implement best in class lifecycle programs and communication, driven by building a solid foundation of customer data and customer analytics. The scope of the B2C CVM team you will lead stretches from acquisition (lead generation) to the entire CVM lifecycle of nurture, growth, and retention. Globally and across all our product categories.

By leveraging data-driven insights and innovative techniques, you will drive customer loyalty, satisfaction, and advocacy, ultimately leading to increased revenue and customer lifetime value.

This role requires a strategic thinker, a hands-on problem solver, and someone with strong mastery of performance data. This role also requires a collaborative leader who can work well cross-functionally with other teams to coordinate and deliver the end-to-end journey for customers.

Demonstrable personal expertise with customer analytics and customer data is a must, along with lifecycle marketing experience. Proven experience in B2C environments and in building and growing a CVM capability in a fast growth environment is essential. 

We have a strong preference for candidates that have travel industry experience, MarTech fluency, and a track record creating and growing CVM programmes such as loyalty, promotions, and services.
