General Manager, Global Attractions & Ticketed Experiences

Kurz zusammengefasst

The General Manager, Global Attractions & Ticketed Experiences will lead GetYourGuide's core strategic initiative for attractions, theme parks, shows and live events. GetYourGuide connects travelers with curated activities worldwide and is headquartered in Berlin, with offices from New York to Bangkok. In this role you will define and own the multi‑year strategy, set quarterly targets and report progress to the executive team and board. You will align product, marketing, technology, pricing and sales around a single plan, negotiate direct contracts with world‑renowned museums, heritage sites and entertainment operators, and develop innovative commercial models such as exclusive allotments and co‑funded campaigns. You will also manage the levers that keep inventory competitive, availability solutions, price parity and connectivity, and represent GetYourGuide as a thought leader at industry events. The position requires at least ten years of experience running a business or business unit in a high‑growth marketplace, SaaS, OTA or travel‑tech environment, with five or more years of leading leaders and building teams of 20 + people. You must have a proven record of influencing cross‑functional programs without direct authority, strong executive‑level stakeholder management, and hands‑on experience closing complex enterprise partnerships while understanding supply economics. Fluency in product roadmaps, marketing ROAS and supplier P&L, as well as the ability to travel roughly 20 % to partner sites and local offices, is essential.
