We are looking for a strategic travel content leader to help shape the future of our travel content experience. This person will lead the editorial strategy for a content-first travel platform designed to guide users from inspiration to booking. With a strong understanding of travel behavior, editorial systems, and high-intent user needs, this individual will work hand-in-hand with product, SEO, commerce, and design teams to develop content and tools that inform, inspire, and ultimately help users book their best travel experience.

 

What You’ll Do

• Own the editorial vision and performance strategy for Yahoo Travel’s Destination Hubs and commerce content
• Partner closely with product and commerce teams to develop content experiences that support real booking behavior
• Build out a content system designed to convert — through trip planning tools, FAQs, travel deals, product recs, and more
• Create a scalable approach to travel deal storytelling, surfacing relevant flight, hotel, and package opportunities at the moment of planning intent
• Lead the editorial integration of content from licensed partners, travel creators, and Yahoo’s in-house team
• Oversee the production of multi-format content: longform explainers, creator Reels, shortform tips, podcasts, narrated itineraries, interactive modules
• Ensure all content formats help users progress through the planning funnel, with clear opportunities to click, save, share, or book
• Collaborate with SEO, design, social, commerce, and video to ensure content is discoverable.
• Build and manage a team of editors, writers, and content producers, aligned around content performance and booking behavior

 

What You Bring

• 10+ years of experience in digital travel editorial, including experience with content that drives bookings, purchases, or affiliate conversion
• Deep knowledge of the full traveler journey, from inspiration and research to decision and booking
• A track record of building content systems that are modular, structured, and performance-driven
• Experience working closely with product teams to shape UX/content tools, CMS workflows, and user flows around commercial goals
• Understanding of how to pair content with deals, incentives, and loyalty logic to drive action
• Familiarity with travel creators and how to surface their insights at scale while maintaining editorial integrity
• Strong grasp of GEO principles (Generative Engine Optimization) and voice-first design — even if we don’t lead with it in messaging
• Comfort analyzing performance data and user behavior to optimize content decisions
