Reduce Refunds & Cancellations • Fix supply-side issues • Improve ops alignment • Identify systemic patterns that kill margin 5. Own City-Level P&L • Target setting, forecasting, contribution margin • Deep diagnosis of GMV blockers • Relentless experiment velocity 6. Run Experiments That Move Revenue Examples you’ll touch in Month 1: • “How do we grow Dubai Activities by 40% without touching discounts?”• “What product changes lift Singapore cancellation recovery by 20%?”• “How do we bundle attractions with tours to increase attach-rate by +8%?” What Makes You a Fit This is for someone who enjoys the heat and doesn’t collapse when the dashboards go red. Must-Haves • 3–7 years in Growth / Category / Revenue / Marketplace / Strategy • Strong analytical comfort—Excel, metrics, funnels • Experience in marketplaces, travel, e-commerce, high-velocity categories • Ability to break vague problems into testable, revenue-driving experiments • Bias for action → You ship, measure, iterate fast Nice-to-Have • Understanding of OTA dynamics • Exposure to international markets • Experience improving cancellation rates or attach-rate models Who You Are (Blunt Version)• You don’t need handholding • You like owning numbers, not presentations • You enjoy talking to customers and suppliers • You can open a spreadsheet and see the story behind the cells Why This Role Matters Activities at Thrillophilia, need a fresh look.
