We deliver value to travelers, partners, and policymakers through communications that are sharp, credible, and designed to travel. We operate as a newsroom: fast-moving, editorially driven, and built for distribution at scale. We are investing in the systems, channels, and distribution muscle that ensure every story we develop reaches the right audience, in the right format, at the right time. The Role As Senior Communications Manager, you will own the operational backbone of GetYourGuide's newsroom. You’ll build the infrastructure it runs on –the story pipeline, media CRM, distribution channels, and owned properties — and you ensure that our original storytelling moves through the system and lands at the right time and on the right channels.
