WHO YOU ARE

You’re a senior content and communications leader with strong editorial instincts, a sharp understanding of the evolving media landscape, and a clear point of view on how AI is reshaping brand discovery, interpretation, and trust. You know how to build content strategies that serve both people and platforms, and you understand that today’s communications function must operate with the speed, rigor, and judgment of a newsroom.

You bring deep expertise in editorial strategy, content development, integrated communications, and storytelling across earned, owned, and shared channels. You’re equal parts strategist and operator: able to identify the stories that matter, build the systems that scale them, and lead high-quality content production from concept through distribution. You thrive in cross-functional environments and are passionate about ensuring Expedia Group’s brands show up with clarity, credibility, and consistency across traditional media, social platforms, and AI-powered search experiences.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead Expedia Group’s editorial content strategy, building a high-impact content engine that supports brand reputation, business priorities, and audience engagement across external communications channels.
• Establish and run a centralized content function that operates like a newsroom – identifying timely story opportunities, setting editorial priorities, and producing high-quality, insight-driven content at speed.
• Own the editorial calendar and content development pipeline, ensuring a steady drumbeat of relevant, strategic content that can be adapted across PR, social, influencer, and internal storytelling needs.
• Develop content designed for discoverability and performance across AI-powered search environments, traditional search, and emerging platforms – applying best practices in structure, authority, relevance, and amplification.
• Partner closely with PR, social, influencer, brand, regional communications, and business teams to translate company priorities into compelling stories, campaigns, and content packages.
• Create scalable editorial frameworks, workflows, and governance that improve speed, consistency, and quality across content creation and distribution.
• Shape content in formats that meet the moment, from reactive and rapid-response storytelling to proactive thought leadership, feature storytelling, executive bylines, media-ready assets, and platform-native content.
• Identify opportunities to strengthen Expedia Group’s visibility and accuracy in AI-generated search results and summaries by improving content quality, coverage, clarity, and signal distribution.
• Monitor trends in media, AI search, consumer behavior, and platform dynamics to inform editorial decisions and recommend new formats, channels, and approaches.
• Partner with regional communications teams to create globally aligned content that can be efficiently localized for key markets without losing strategic consistency or editorial quality.
• Use data and performance insights to refine strategy, optimize output, and measure the impact of content on visibility, engagement, reputation, and share of conversation.
• Support issues and crisis response with clear, credible, rapid-turn content that helps protect brand trust and ensure accurate representation across media and AI surfaces.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ years of experience in content strategy, editorial, communications, public relations, journalism, or a related field.

• Strong understanding of how AI-powered search, large language models, and evolving search behaviors are influencing brand visibility, authority, and trust.
• Experience operating a centralized content model or editorial hub, including planning, prioritization, production workflows, and cross-functional governance.
• Excellent editorial judgment and storytelling skills, with the ability to translate complex business topics into clear, compelling, audience-first content.
• Experience creating content for multiple channels and audiences, with an understanding of how to adapt stories for PR, social, executive, web, and influencer use.
• Familiarity with SEO fundamentals and emerging approaches to AI search optimization, including content structure, source credibility, and discoverability.
• Strong analytical mindset and comfort using data to evaluate content performance, inform decisions, and continuously improve results.
• Exceptional collaboration and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across functions and lead through ambiguity.
• A proactive, adaptable, and future-focused mindset, with enthusiasm for innovation and experimentation in a rapidly changing communications environment.
