Through our products, partners and people, we make it easier for everyone to experience the world. As part of Booking Holdings, which includes brands like Priceline & Agoda, we're at the forefront of innovation and customer service in the travel industry.

Role Description:

This is a lead role within our Innovation & Enablement team, Global Communications, focused on AI enablement, channels, tooling, and measurement.

Key Job Responsibilities and Duties:

    Own and implement team playbooks, frameworks, and guidance that improve consistency, quality, and efficiency across regions.

  • Global channel strategy
    Refine and influence a clear, intentional approach to how internal communication channels are used globally.

  • Enablement & cross-functional influence
    Contribute to the Communications craft, mentor others, and build strong partnerships with tech, data, and product teams-driving alignment and progress.

Qualifications & Skills:

We're looking for someone who has strong digital and AI skills, ideally with some communications and change leadership.

You likely bring:

  • Hands-on exposure and build experience with AI agents, digital tooling and comms platforms

  • Proven strength in change management and complex project delivery

  • Confidence influencing senior stakeholders and cross-functional partners

  • Experience in global communications (corporate, internal, or platform-led)

  • Comfort working with data, measurement, and performance reporting

  • Experience in large, matrixed, tech-forward organisations (Big Tech a plus)
