Please note this role is a individual contributor and will not be leading a team but leading and owning the brand frameworks and positioning. ### **What you’ll do** - **Own the brand framework - narrative, positioning and USPs.** Define what GetYourGuide stands for, what associations it is and is not building, and how the organisation reads progress against them. - **Know the market and the customer, globally and locally.** Track competitive dynamics, category shifts, and how the Modern Explorer is changing, and turn genuine local differences into shared knowledge instead of market-specific narratives. - **Turn strategy into something the org can act on.** Build the chain from barrier → narrative angle → proof points → recommended levers, and keep the messaging hierarchy and narrative repository current as the source of truth for what's in, out, and true. - **Make the brand a resource, not a gatekeeper.** Package strategy so Product, Supply, Analytics, Customer Insights, and other teams can act on it directly, and bring narrative and CVP input into their roadmaps early enough to shape decisions. - **Contribute to, and where relevant own, brand programs that build proof points.** Identify and help shape the research, partnerships, or flagship initiatives that generate real evidence for the narrative, working with Activation and other teams to bring them to life. - **Define how the org knows the brand is working.** Own the brand health and equity measurement framework — the scorecard that shows whether the narrative is landing, not just whether it shipped. ### **You’ll be successful if you have** - **Judgment and taste,** the confidence to make narrative calls without a rulebook, and the discipline not to over-document strategy instead of deciding. - **Sharp analytical instincts,** comfortable working with data and research directly, and skilled at turning market and customer understanding into strategic implications. - **Creativity and cultural fluency,** a feel for what's shifting in culture and category, and the instinct to find a fresh, distinctive angle on the CVP instead of defaulting to convention. - **Strong communication and stakeholder skills,** the emotional intelligence to build trust across Product, Supply, Analytics, and Creative, and get them to act on a shared narrative. - **Great communication skills,** able to turn ambiguous strategic input into a clear, actionable plan that people outside the strategy team can build against. - **Program management** experience across various functional teams - **Excellent written and spoken communication in English**; additional languages are a plus. ### **Experience Preferred** - **8 years+ Brand strategy experience**: meaningful experience in brand strategy, positioning, or narrative development, ideally across multiple brands and markets. - Agency experience is a plus. - **Experience working with data analytics and insight** to direct research and translate insights into brand decisions. - **Senior IC track record,** comfort operating as a senior individual contributor with no direct reports — influence here comes from the quality of the thinking, not from headcount. ### **How we’ll measure impact** - Quality and consistency of our Brand Narrative across the organisation - Brand health targets defined with leadership and tracked transparently. - Successful collaboration & influence of internal teams (creative, supply, product, care). ### **How we’ll make your career journey extraordinary** - Annual personal growth budget and mentorship programs for continuous learning and development - Work from anywhere in the world for 30 days per year - A hybrid working approach with three days of in office collaboration (Mon, Tue, Thur) and two days of optional at home focus time. - Opportunities to collaborate and socialize with team members through quarterly team events and yearly company-wide events - Monthly transportation and fitness budget - Discounts for you, your friends, and family on GetYourGuide activities - Language reimbursement program - Health and wellness benefits And more… ### **How to apply** Submit your CV/resume in English using the form below.
