Travel Performance Manager

About the Role

Travel is Engine's core product and our biggest growth opportunity. We're looking for a Travel Performance Manager to own the full paid performance portfolio for our B2B Travel product line. Driving net-new business sign-ups and converting them into first-time bookers, across every paid channel that reaches the business travel buyer, from search and social to programmatic, CTV, audio, and the emerging channels we haven't tested yet.

This role sits on the Performance Marketing team and is accountable to product-line efficiency, while driving effective channel performance. You'll own the strategy, execution, and measurement of every paid dollar we spend to acquire B2B Travel customers. This is an established program with real spend behind it, and it's scaling fast. Success is measured on B2B Travel ROAS and LTV:CAC, with net-new sign-ups and sign-up-to-first-booking conversion as the leading indicators.

Our ideal candidate has deep fluency across the full paid portfolio: search, social, programmatic, and net-new channels. You have the judgment to know where to invest for incremental growth versus where to optimize existing spend. You think in two motions at once: driving efficient net-new sign-ups at the top, and improving the rate at which those sign-ups become first-time bookers. You're an AI-native marketer who adapts quickly to new tools and systems. You have a strong hand in creative strategy and testing, and you think in efficient results rather than impressions.

What you'll do

• Own the full paid performance portfolio for B2B Travel, covering strategy, execution, and measurement across all channels: search, social, programmatic, CTV, audio, and emerging platforms.
• Drive net-new business sign-ups and improve the rate at which sign-ups convert into first-time bookers, owning both halves of the acquisition motion.
• Drive acquisition efficiency, measured against product-line ROAS and LTV:CAC, not channel-level proxies.
• Partner across Performance, Analytics, and Product to ensure measurement, attribution, and signal quality reach a high bar across the sign-up and first-booking funnel.
• Own the creative testing loop for Travel (hypothesis, variant, scaled winner) in partnership with brand and creative resources.
• Lead channel expansion into net-new paid channels (CTV, Spotify and audio, direct mail, emerging platforms) with a structured test-and-graduate framework.
• Build and maintain the weekly performance narrative for Travel: what's working, what's not, and what's next.
• Coordinate with lifecycle and
