About the Job

We’re looking for an experienced business development manager to join our growth team to trailblaze the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region in support of Hopper’s Asia-Pacific (APAC) market expansion.

Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Hopper managed to have triple digit year-over-year revenue growth in 2020. In fact, Hopper is recovering faster than the sector at large and that is driven in large part by the performance of our unique fintech products which offer travelers an unparalleled level of flexibility and control. In 2021, Hopper will enter APAC, the world’s largest regional travel market to extend the success achieved in the North American Market (NAM) and benefit a larger user group.

At Hopper you can have an immediate impact in a high-growth environment. On behalf of Hopper in the ASEAN market, you will be leading the business development with players in the air sector such as airlines, OTAs and consolidators to acquire the best local content. Air business is a niche field, so prior experience in travel (travel tech, OTA, TMC, GDS, airline, etc) is preferred. The strongest candidates will be able to intuitively communicate Hopper’s unique value proposition and frame our benefits to partners.

Responsibilities

• Identify opportunities with prospective air content partners (airlines, aggregators, travel agencies etc.) in ASEAN countries (SG prioritized) and own the partner acquisition cycle from first contact to close
• Manage the full scope of partnership for a group of currently contracted airlines, including contract negotiation and renewals, marketing funds, service funds, ticketing operations and agency support
• Cross-sell an expanding suite of products and services into different airline business teams (Distribution, Sales, Revenue Management and Marketing)
• Leverage data analysis to understand partner performance, forecast deal value and model unit economics
• Work closely with the product team to ensure airline display requirements are met in the app and negotiated API integrations are on track
• Work closely with the data science team to analyze and communicate partner performance
• Identify and represent Hopper in relevant trade shows and conferences

Benefits

• Well-funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary and stock options
• Unlimited PTO
• WeWork All Access Pass OR Work-from-home stipend
• Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits and taking risks is everyday business
• Open communication with management and company leadership
• Small, dynamic teams = massive impact
