About the Role:
We’re looking for a smart, driven, and domain-strong business professional with relevant

This is a strategic role where you’ll help scale the Flights vertical by driving new partnerships,

automation of ticketing and after-sales processes.
● Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Finance, Product, Growth, and
Operations teams to ensure alignment on business goals.
2. Technical Excellence & Product Integration:
● System Expertise: Deep understanding of airline ticketing systems, GDS/CRS
platforms (Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport), and emerging distribution models like NDC.
● Issue Management: Lead root-cause analysis and resolution of operational and tech
issues (PNR cancellations, ADM/ACM disputes, API failures).
● Tech Partnership: Collaborate with Engineering, QA, and Product teams to ensure
travel systems are scalable, reliable, and optimized for uptime.
● Feature Deployment: Oversee pre- and post-deployment validation for new capabilities
such as ancillaries, branded fares, and direct airline integrations.
3. Partner & Account Management:
● Airline Relationship Management: Build and manage strong commercial relationships
with airlines, consolidators, and GDS providers.
● Competitive Intelligence: Analyze industry trends, competitor fare strategies, and
distribution models to identify growth opportunities.
● Co-Creation: Collaborate with partners to co-design win-win product and pricing
models, including dynamic fares and exclusive deals.
4. Operational Leadership:
● Ticketing Process Excellence: Define best practices for ticket issuance, reissue,
refund, and exchange workflows.
● Market Insights: Conduct route-level and inventory analysis to guide airline strategy
and promotional opportunities.
● Cross-Team Coordination: Partner with CX, Tech, and Growth teams to deliver
consistent traveler and partner experiences.
● Automation & Compliance: Drive automation in fare caching, reconciliation, and
reporting to ensure compliance with airline and IATA standards.
Ideal Candidate Profile
Experience:
● Relevant 6-8 years in business development/partnerships within travel or airline
domains.
● Relevant years in OTA or airline environments, with hands-on experience in airline
reservation and ticketing systems.
Skills & Competencies:

workflows, BSP/ARC settlements, and ADM/ACM management.
● Technical Acumen: Familiarity with travel tech stacks (API integrations, NDC, fare
caching, automation workflows).
● Negotiation Skills: Proven success in closing high-value airline or supplier deals.
● Execution Focus: Bias for action with experience scaling new airline integrations or
distribution models.
