Senior Manager, Partner Programs, Incentives & Insights Management

At Expedia Group, the Partner Programs, Incentives & Insights team empowers lodging partners to thrive and grow in our marketplace by driving engagement in innovative programs, optimizing performance incentives, and delivering actionable insights that enhance conversion, efficiency, and trust. Our mission is to create meaningful value for partners and travelers alike; bridging supply and demand through strategic initiatives that amplify business outcomes.

We design and manage targeted programs that enable partners to harness the power of traveler trust signals, price and non-price incentives, and comprehensive distribution solutions. By aligning participation criteria with strategic goals, we ensure these programs deliver measurable and sustainable impact.

Guided by collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and a commitment to partner and traveler excellence, we serve as a trusted resource for partners navigating the complexities of Expedia Group’s marketplace.
