This role provides financial leadership to a world-class team of media buyers and strategists, who are constantly looking for new ways to improve the near- and long-term impact of our working media investments.

You’ll play an integral role in supporting decision-making on where and how we spend money across all sorts of offline and digital media platforms.

You’ll also dive into performance measurement, assessing the impact of our media buys.

Along the way, you’ll work closely with teams supporting numerous media formats (including television, out-of-home, YouTube, digital VOD and programmatic display) to help expand the presence of Expedia Group’s various brands in the marketplace.

What you’ll do:

• Communicate business performance to leaders both inside and outside the Finance organization, and the implications of that performance for future business decisions

• You will learn much more than just what numbers are on a spreadsheet...you’ll know why they’re there as well

• Your ability to embrace and lead through change will be important in an environment where things change frequently

• Flexibility in communication is just as important, since you will be working with business partners from a wide variety of backgrounds, many of whom don’t speak Finance as fluently as you do. You’ll need adjust how you communicate depending on who is in the room

• Everyone on our team depends upon each other to improve our performance. This means that you'll need to collaborate across Finance teams, across functions, and across geographies

• Knowing when, and who, to ask for help will be essential to your success

• We’re trusting you with a large budget, so you’re going to need to stay on top of where the money is going and what the return on investment will be

• You’ll have the freedom to identify new ways of working that can revolutionize our organization while having the full backing and support of a global finance team
