Strategy & Analytics Manager— Supply & AI; Remote

About the Role

Hopper is hiring a Strategy & Analytics Manager to own the analytical and operational infrastructure powering our Travel Commercial organisation — the team responsible for all hotel, home, and car inventory distributed to our global partners. This is a hands‑on builder role sitting at the intersection of data, process, and technology, working in close partnership with Product and Engineering and reporting into senior commercial leadership.

• Design, build, and maintain the data models, dashboards, and reporting frameworks that give the commercial organisation clear, trusted visibility across the full commercial funnel
• Use AI tools as a core part of your analytical workflow — accelerating insight generation, improving output quality, and freeing up capacity for higher‑order problem solving
• Run deep‑dive analytical projects to surface patterns, anomalies, and opportunities in commercial data, translating findings into clear and actionable recommendations for commercial stakeholders
• Define and track KPIs that measure both business outcomes and the effectiveness of the processes driving them, creating a continuous improvement feedback loop
• Own preparation and follow‑through for key internal meetings, strategic reviews, and cross‑functional forums — ensuring the right data is in the room and decisions translate into clear next steps
• Build the analytical frameworks that underpin quarterly planning, forecasting, and target‑setting, producing outputs commercial leaders can use directly
• Map, challenge, and rebuild core commercial workflows — including pipeline management, forecasting cadences, and sales incentive structures — into cleaner, faster, and more scalable ways of working
• Implement operational improvements end‑to‑end: not just designing the solution, but driving adoption and measuring impact with rigour
• Identify where AI can fundamentally change how commercial processes work, then build and deploy those solutions directly
• Develop a hands‑on understanding of our commercial tech stack, diagnosing where friction, data loss, or missed opportunities exist
• Translate commercial problems into well‑defined briefs that Product and Engineering teams can act on, bringing enough technical fluency to be a genuine peer in those conversations

• 2+ years of experience in data analytics, sales operations, strategy & operations, or a similar analytical or commercial role
• Proficiency in SQL and hands‑on experience with BI and data tools such as Looker, Tableau, or Big Query
• A track record of building things — data models, dashboards, process frameworks, and operational tools — not just recommending them
• Strong commercial instincts paired with rigorous analytical capability, comfortable moving between a strategic conversation and a hands‑on build
• Genuine excitement about AI and an existing habit of using it to accelerate and improve their own work, with an eagerness to bring that into how a commercial organisation operates
• Experience working cross‑functionally with Product and/or Engineering teams, with enough technical fluency to hold their own in those conversations
• First‑principles thinking — questioning assumptions, stress‑testing processes, and always asking why something works the way it does
• A bias for action, a strong sense of ownership, and the ability to thrive in fast‑moving, ambiguous environments

• Well‑funded and proven startup with large ambitions, competitive salary and the upsides of pre‑IPO equity packages.
• Unlimited PTO.
• Carrot Cash travel stipend.
• Access to co‑working space on demand through Flex Desk AND Work‑from‑home stipend.
• Parental leave, much above industry standards.
• Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits and taking risks is everyday business.
• Open communication with management and company leadership.
• Small, dynamic teams = massive impact.
• 100% employer paid Medical, Dental and Vision coverage for employees.
• Access to Disability & Life insurance.
• Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).
• DCA/ FSA and access to 401k plan.

At Hopper, we are on a mission to become the leading travel platform…
