How you’ll make an impact:

The Senior Director of Operator Growth leads Travelport’s commercial system for the Operator Channel across Asia Pacific. The role translates global direction into a regional portfolio strategy and country plans, and is accountable for regional Travelport Operator Channel revenue and profitability through the Operator Growth Managers. It sets executive governance for Operator partnerships, joint go-to-market and enablement, strategic enterprise-account coverage, pipeline and forecast discipline, and API commercialization. It engages Travelport’s Senior Leadership Team (SLT), presents evidence-based choices, and independently resolves complex commercial problems across markets and functions. Each Operator Growth Manager remains accountable for Travelport’s country-level channel revenue and profitability, country relationships, plans, pipeline and deals. The role understands Operator economics but does not own an Operator’s P&L.

Your role in action:

Deliver sustainable, profitable growth for Travelport’s Operator Channel across Asia Pacific by translating global strategy into focused regional and country plans, leading a high-performing Operator Growth team, aligning Operators and key customers, maintaining a credible regional forecast and investment discipline, and resolving high-stakes commercial issues with independent judgment.

• Proven ability to build and execute regional channel and partner strategies, manage portfolio and investment trade-offs, and lead measurable joint go-to-market, enablement and co-sell programs.

• Executive credibility with Operator owners and shareholders, enterprise-customer leaders, and Travelport SLT; able to influence decisions, negotiate complex commercial outcomes and communicate clear recommendations.

• Commercial understanding of API-based products and technical solutions, with the ability to set priorities and sponsor customer outcomes while leaving solution design and technical validation to specialist leaders.

• More than 10 years of progressive senior sales leadership in a complex B2B environment, including accountability for substantial revenue and profitability outcomes and leadership of a geographically distributed or multi-market team.

• A record of delivering revenue and profit outcomes through direct or indirect sales channels and managing a substantial commercial portfolio.

• Demonstrated ability to develop and execute regional commercial strategies and to solve complex commercial problems independently, using sound judgment and clear financial and market analysis.

• Credibility with Operator owners, shareholders, senior executives, and enterprise customer decision-makers, with the judgment to support high-stakes negotiation and regional commercial decisions.

• Financially educated, with strong financial and analytical capability, including P&L review, deal modelling, return-on-investment assessment, forecasting, and interpretation of sales data.

• Strong sales pipeline discipline and cadence, demonstrated through structured opportunity reviews, rigorous qualification and stage management, consistent CRM hygiene, accurate forecasting, clear close plans, and accountability for next steps.

• Clear executive presentation and communication skills, including experience presenting regional strategies, performance, and decision recommendations to a Travelport Senior Leadership Team or equivalent executive forum.

• Experience influencing across a global matrix and collaborating across functions, countries, and cultures.

• Self-directed, commercially decisive, inclusive, and consistent in holding self and others accountable for commitments.

• Fluent English required. Regional or local language capability is an advantage; travel across assigned markets is required.
