The role;
- Reporting to: Cluster Director of Revenue & Distribution
- Scope: All Almanac Hotels properties — Hotel Esplanade Zagreb, Almanac Barcelona, Almanac X Alcron Prague and Almanac Palais Vienna — with responsibility for the portfolio’s digital sales, distribution and direct-booking performance
- Location: Remote
- Purpose: Maximise net room revenue across all Almanac Hotels properties through digital and distribution channels: invest every euro where it returns most, convert demand into direct bookings, and demonstrate results through clear commercial metrics. This is a hands-on, revenue-led cluster role at the interface of Revenue, Distribution, Marketing and Technology.
Key responsibilities:
- Paid media: plan, run and optimise Google Ads (Search, Performance Max, Hotel Ads), Meta and emerging AI-search advertising for all properties: budgets, bidding, keywords, audiences, campaign calendar, creative briefs and landing-page requirements; manage ad accounts, pixels and conversion tracking.
- Distribution: execute distribution across OTAs, GDS, metasearch and connectivity partners: channel content and mapping, rate-parity monitoring, OTA visibility and advertising programmes, and cost-of-acquisition reporting by channel, in line with the cluster revenue strategy.
- Direct booking and conversion: own the commercial performance of the hotel websites and booking engine: conversion, abandonment, merchandising, packages and campaign landing pages; drive fixes with IT and technology partners.
- Organic and AI visibility: improve SEO and visibility in AI-driven search and recommendations, together with Marketing.
- Digital KPI tracking: own a monthly scorecard by property covering conversion rate, cost per acquisition, ROAS, channel mix, and direct versus OTA booking share.
- Attribution analysis: analyse attribution across paid, organic, metasearch, CRM and OTA channels; reconcile platform data with PMS/CRS actuals; use tests to distinguish incremental bookings from existing demand.
- CRM and loyalty: support conversion-focused newsletters, pre-arrival and repeat-stay campaigns and GHA DISCOVERY activation with Marketing, in line with consent and privacy requirements.
- Partners: brief, manage and evaluate technology and marketing partners against clear performance scorecards.
- Hotel activation: translate need periods, leisure and MICE priorities and offers into measurable digital activity with the hotel teams; run a monthly test-and-learn plan and scale what works.
Key interfaces:
- Revenue & Distribution: pricing, inventory, forecasts and channel strategy; you execute and recommend within the agreed budget.
- Marketing & Communications: brand, editorial and creative standards; you own performance briefs, conversion requirements and campaign measurement.
- Hotel teams: product knowledge, offers and fulfilment; you coordinate implementation and measure outcomes.
- IT and technology partners: technical implementation; you define requirements, validate outcomes and escalate issues.
What success looks like:
- Growth in net direct room revenue and direct booking share
- Lower cost of acquisition per channel and per property
- Improved website and booking-engine conversion
- Reliable tracking and attribution that reconcile with hotel actuals
- Clear, measurable return on digital marketing and technology spend
