  • Represent Hopper in the local market, build Hopper’s company profile with key local influencers (e.g. tourism bureau, hotel association, etc.), and provide expertise to the local industry
  • Educate Hopper colleagues on market dynamics and specific needs/requests from your portfolio

  • Experience using a CRM tool such as Salesforce
  • Ability to both work independently and collaboratively with a diverse team of people owning different skill sets and perspectives
  • The ability to be proactive and an appetite for working with fast-changing, innovative technology in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to select and present insightful datasets including performance, market and competitor analysis, and to implement meaningful action plans based on the data
  • Good work prioritization skills to remain laser-focused on achieving target KPIs (targets, goals, and/or strategic objectives)
  • Excellent written and verbal communications skills; presents ideas and directives clearly and persuasively and actively listens when spoken/presented to
  • No ego. Strong focus on doing what is right for the customer and the company
