Senior Commercial Manager, Destination & Brand Partnerships

About Skyscanner

Everyone loves travelling, but planning is not without its challenges. That's why we've spent 20 years building tools that turn travel-planning chaos into a breeze. Today, around 100 million travellers count on us every month to skip the whole “47 browser tabs open” phase and find flights, cars, and hotels quickly and easily.

Joining Skyscanner means becoming part of a global brand that's striving to become the planet's go-to travel hack accessible for all.

Our vision? To be the world's number one travel ally. (Ambitious? Yes, but, hey, that's what got us here). Now, we’re on the lookout for a Senior Commercial Manager to help us bring that vision to even more travellers. 

About the role 

(Hybrid)

We’re seeking a Senior Commercial Manager to grow Skyscanner’s destination and brand partnerships across APAC. Based in Singapore, this role will own the full commercial cycle — from identifying opportunities and designing creative partnership concepts, through to pitching, negotiating, and closing deals, before working with internal teams to ensure outstanding delivery.

This is a senior individual contributor role with direct accountability for revenue growth, strategic relationship management, and market impact across APAC.

What you’ll be doing

• Strategic Partnership Leadership: Build and scale creative, high-impact partnerships with tourism boards, ministries, and destination marketing organisations, as well as with travel and non-travel adjacent brands.
• End-to-End Deal Ownership: Lead the partnership process from concept to contract, shaping campaigns that go beyond media sales to deliver integrated, storytelling-led solutions with measurable results.
• Revenue Growth: Consistently deliver and exceed quarterly commercial targets, driving measurable growth across APAC.
• Industry Influence: Represent Skyscanner with senior decision-makers across destinations and brands, positioning Skyscanner as a trusted partner in the travel media space.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with agency, marketing, ad delivery and product teams to design and execute partnerships that inspire travellers and achieve client goals.
• AI-Driven Optimisation: Leverage a strong understanding of how AI is transforming travel, media, and brand marketing to unlock insights, optimise campaigns, and scale commercial impact.
• Insights & Strategy: Bring market intelligence and brand marketing insights to inform strategy, helping uncover new categories and growth opportunities.

About you

• Proven senior experience in commercial partnerships, brand marketing, or media/advertising sales, with strong exposure to the travel marketing ecosystem (destinations, tourism boards, or travel brands).
• Demonstrated ability to lead creative, strategic partnerships that go beyond media placements, delivering brand impact and measurable results.
• A strong network of senior contacts across agencies, brands, and destinations in APAC, with a track record of engaging C-level stakeholders and decision makers.
• Commercial acumen with a consistent record of scaling revenues and outperforming targets.
• Solid understanding of AI’s role in travel, media, and marketing, and how to apply it to optimise partnerships and drive growth.
• Strong negotiation and deal-making skills, with the ability to craft complex, multi-market partnerships.
• Comfort working autonomously in a fast-paced, matrixed environment, balancing multiple priorities with confidence.
• Based in Singapore, with a deep understanding of the APAC commercial and brand landscape.

What Success Looks Like

• You deliver above-target revenue growth across both destination and brand verticals.
• Skyscanner becomes the go-to partner for tourism boards, ministries and brands seeking global traveller reach.
• You establish innovative, non-travel brand collaborations that expand Skyscanner’s commercial footprint.
• You harness AI-driven insights to optimise campaign strategies and scale commercial outcomes.
• You’re recognised internally as a trusted commercial leader, and externally as a senior voice in the travel brand marketing space.
