Our five Behaviors-Traveler First, Think Big, Operate with Excellence, Ownership Mindset, and Succeed Together-help foster a supportive environment where people can grow their careers and have the flexibility, benefits, and support to do their best work.

Media & Sponsorships Business DirectorIntroduction to the Team
We create and deliver tailored marketing strategies for Expedia Group's brands, focusing on establishing strong connections and cohesive experiences for travelers and partners. We leverage our functional expertise and creative excellence to build trust and loyalty for our brands through innovative marketing approaches and technology.
Expedia is our flagship consumer brand and our largest media investment, and we're looking for the media leader who will shape how it shows up for travelers around the world. As Media & Sponsorship Business Director, you'll join the global Media & Sponsorships team in Expedia Group's Marketing division and own the brand's media and sponsorship strategy across markets: where the investment goes, how it's measured, and how media and partnerships work together.
You'll partner with brand and integrated marketing leaders, in-house planning and activation specialists, and agency partners to bring that strategy to life across TV, streaming, video, social, audio, creators, and sports and entertainment partnerships. This is a senior individual contributor role for a media leader who enjoys both the strategy and the numbers behind it.
In this role, you will:
- Set the brand's media and sponsorship strategy across markets, defining the role of each channel and partnership and building the investment case behind it
- Own allocation of the brand's media and sponsorship budget across markets, channels, and partnerships, and shift investment as results, business goals, and brand priorities change
- Lead the brand's measurement approach and learning agenda, using marketing mix modeling, incrementality, and brand lift testing to decide what to scale, test, or stop
- Act as the primary strategic partner to brand and integrated marketing leaders at the vice president level and above, bringing a data-led point of view, constructively challenging assumptions, and aligning teams on decisions
- Set clear direction for in-house planning and activation teams and agency partners, owning briefs so media, sponsorship, and creative connect into one brand story
- Bring AI, creators, and emerging media into how the brand plans and buys media, and share brand performance with senior leadership in monthly and quarterly business reviews
Experience and Qualifications:
- You have 12+ years of brand media strategy and planning experience, in-house at a global brand or in a leadership role at a media agency, including hands-on work with sponsorships or partnerships
- You have personally owned allocation decisions for a large, multi-channel media budget across multiple markets, and can share examples of reallocating spend based on performance
- You're fluent in media measurement, including marketing mix modeling, incrementality, brand lift, and test design, and have used the results to change where investment goes
- You know the modern media mix in depth, including linear and connected TV, online video, social, audio, programmatic, and creator partnerships, and how each contributes to brand and business outcomes
- You've influenced senior leaders without direct authority in a matrixed organization, using data to make the case for change and bringing teams to a decision
- You communicate clearly and concisely, turning complex media detail into executive-level recommendations, and you have a point of view on how AI is changing media and sponsorship
