Job Description
Director, Business Operations
Hotel Engine
• Own ARI operations end-to-end—rate validation, parity defense, gap closure, and at-risk inventory—building the reporting frameworks and team rhythms that keep Engine’s supply healthy and measurable. • Define and execute connectivity strategy across PMS, CRS, GDS, channel managers, and 3rd-party routing systems—identifying what integrations are buildable and surfacing prioritized options to Product and Engineering. • Lead Supply API integration programs from scoping through production, coordinating across Engineering, Product, and Supply to drive reliability, reduce booking failures, and scale the supplier network. • Serve as the operational backbone for Relationship Managers supporting Chain and Supplier connectivity—translating commercial needs into integration requirements and ensuring new connectivity lands with full operational readiness. • Run complex, cross-functional programs with rigor—clear ownership, structured escalation paths, executive visibility, and a relentless focus on delivery. Keep the team on track internally and keep partners aligned externally.
Job Requirements
- 10+ years driving complex technical programs across Engineering, Product, and Operations with the structure and accountability that moves organizations forward.
- Proven Leadership at Senior Levels. You’ve managed across senior leaders and cross-functional teams. You run the room, earn trust quickly, and drive alignment without relying on authority.
- Program Rigor at Scale. You have a track record of running complex, multi-workstream programs that cut across the business—on time, with clear accountability, and measurable outcomes. You don’t just track status; you move work forward.
- Technical Fluency. You understand systems, APIs, data flows, and integration architecture well enough to engage credibly with Engineering and Product—ask the right questions, identify risk, and hold technical teams accountable.
- Structured Problem Solver. You break ambiguous challenges into clear frameworks. You build the operating model others work inside of.
- Data-Driven Operator. You build KPI frameworks that drive decisions, not just describe what happened. Comfortable working across Snowflake or similar data environments to surface actionable signals.
- Domain Agnostic, Fast Learner. Industry experience in travel, hospitality, or supply systems is a plus—not a requirement. What matters is the discipline, the rigor, and the instinct to go deep fast.
