This role is eligible for our hybrid work model: Two days in-office.

The Booking Holdings Inc. (BHI) Corporate Business Development department is responsible for generating, executing and managing our most complex and high impact partnerships.

The successful candidate will have a unique combination of strategic skills, deal-doing experience, and the proven ability to partner with product and engineering stakeholders and work across departments to own outcomes.

• Drive and support strategic initiatives that align with the long-term strategies of BHI and our brands.

• Identify, evaluate, negotiate, and manage partnerships that span multiple departments or brands and can have a disproportionate impact on BHI brands, typically in terms of customer acquisition, revenue generation or product enhancements.

• Continually refine your deep understanding of the GenAI technology and your perspective on how it will change travel research and booking behaviors.

• Engage and build relationships with Stakeholders across Booking Holdings Inc and our brands.

• Engage and build relationships with outside organizations, including earlier-stage companies in relevant sectors

• Develop C-level executive level presentations on strategy, priorities and impact, communicating recommendations in a clear, concise and impactful way.

• Manage day-to-day activities including but not limited to project and pipeline tracking and reporting, as well as content development.

• Strategic problem solver with a creative mind, who does not shy away from a challenge. 

• A track record of successfully negotiating complex technology or strategic partnerships.

• Demonstrated understanding of the GenAI technology.

• A passion for our customers, positive attitude, high level of integrity, intellectual curiosity, and comfort with ambiguity.

• Excellent business judgment, communication and interpersonal skills along with a demonstrated ability to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders across the world.

• Strong analytical skills and comfort with financial analysis.

• Excellent writing, communication, verbal and written, and organizational skills.

• Ability to travel approximately 25% of the time.
