What the job involves
- Our business-to-business business unit (B2B) is one of the most ambitious commercial builds in Booking Holdings' history — and marketing will be at the center of making it real
- Reporting directly to the Chief Commercial Officer of B2B, the Head of B2B Marketing role is responsible for the global enterprise marketing functions for the newly established Booking Partner Division
- The purpose of the Marketing Department at the B2B business unit is threefold: defining and launching the brand identity of B2B with Booking Holdings and leveraging the portfolio of brands (Agoda, Booking, Priceline) to establish us as the leading B2B brand in the travel industry, to strategically attract relevant, incremental partners and third, to help the B2B strategic partners grow their own businesses — designing and executing partner marketing programmes that deploy B2B’s data assets, media scale, and B2C brand portfolio to drive measurable demand through partners' own customer channels, paid media, and social platforms.to help our partners attract new customers to their platforms (B2B2C)
- The role is responsible for creating and executing the marketing plan that supports our overarching partner and end-customer value propositions
- Collaborating closely with the B2C marketing leads in Agoda, Booking and Priceline, the head of Marketing brings these value propositions to life
- Collective efforts are dedicated to delivering a compelling partner and customer experience that aligns with the B2B and Booking Holdings brands and resonates with target audiences
- This is not a brand stewardship role
- It is a commercial leadership role with a marketing instrument
- You will be expected to build fast, measure rigorously, iterate relentlessly, and hold yourself and your team to ambitious, quantified outcomes.You are responsible for a sizable marketing budget, leading a team of roughly 30 globally dispersed people and is part of the B2B (commercial) Leadership Team
- The role is based at the New York City headquarters in the United States reporting into the CCO of B2B and requires close collaboration across teams in the US, Europe, and Asia, as well as regular travel and flexibility across time zones
- Brand and Market Positioning
- Define the B2B brand identity, positioning, and messaging architecture from the ground up. Establish a differentiated point of view in the B2B travel market — one that is credible to both supply-side partners and distribution partners. Leverage the Booking Holdings brand portfolio (Booking.com, Agoda, Priceline) as a commercial asset rather than a complexity. Track brand equity progress with enterprise decision-makers through structured measurement, and set year-on-year improvement targets for awareness, relevance, and preference in priority markets, especially in the US
- Demand Generation and Partner Acquisition
- Build a scalable B2B demand generation engine that drives a measurable marketing contribution to commercial growth. Own the full acquisition funnel — from awareness to lead to qualified opportunity — with clear attribution for marketing's contribution at each stage. Set targets for marketing-sourced and marketing-influenced pipeline, cost per qualified partner lead, and lead-to-close conversion rates. Experiment rapidly across channels — events, content syndication, paid search, LinkedIn, programmatic, ABM — and kill what does not perform. Every campaign has a hypothesis, a measurement plan, and a post-campaign review
- Partner Marketing — Driving Demand Through Partners
- Design and execute partner marketing programmes that help the B2B strategic partners grow their own customer base and deepen travel engagement on their platforms. This is one of the most commercially differentiated capabilities B2B can build — and one of the most direct links between marketing investment and measurable P&L impact
- Concretely, this means:
- Stronger product and proposition marketing that helps commercial teams communicate a clearer value story to partners by developing co-branded and white-label marketing assets, journey touchpoints, and activation playbooks that partners can deploy across their owned customer communications — email, app notifications, loyalty programme messaging, and in-product placements
- A more mature partner lifecycle strategy, with improved onboarding, engagement, retention and partner loyalty
- More robust marketing measurement and decision-making, with clear visibility into pipeline impact, incrementality, ROI and long-term value creation
- A stronger content and social strategy that improves the B2B presence with decision-makers and influencers in the travel and platform ecosystem
Our take
Booking Holdings is the global heavyweight in online travel and related services, with a footprint spanning over 220 countries and territories. The parent company of familiar names like Booking.com, Priceline, Agoda, Rentalcars.com, KAYAK, and OpenTable, it's the quiet force powering millions of trips, dinners, and adventures around the world.
The company is continuously strengthening its portfolio too, by expanding what its brands can offer. For instance, Priceline's partnership with Musement (the leading tours and activities company) means travelers can now book experiences and excursions right alongside flights and hotels.
And on the tech front, Booking Holdings is investing in its future with a new technology center, focused on enhancing its finance systems and driving smarter collaboration across fintech and other vital areas. In a fiercely competitive area, Booking Holdings really does stand tall as a market leader and is ready to ride the continued wave of travel demand.
