What You Will Actually Do

This section matters, because the good people will filter themselves here.

You will own growth for the Activities vertical across global markets.

Own it.

Your day-to-day will look like:

1. Build & scale high-impact SKUs

• Identify what actually moves GMV (not vanity listings)

• Unlock Tier-1 attractions, events, seasonal spikes, exclusive deals

• Increase product-market fit in each destination

2. Drive Pricing, Margins & Take-Rate

• Real-time pricing intelligence vs OTAs

• Improve take-rate without hurting conversion

• Reduce leakage, improve profitability, negotiate better supplier terms

3. Grow Attach Rate on Tours

A major lever.

You will design & run experiments to lift activities attach-rate on top-selling tours across Dubai, Singapore, Thailand, Bali, Europe.

4. 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%?”
