TRAFFIC ACQUISITION MANAGER

About the role

Do you enjoy turning commercial opportunities into profitable growth? Are you excited by digital distribution, metasearch performance, partner negotiations, and finding new ways for customers to discover and book SAS? If so, this could be the right next step. As Traffic Acquisition Manager at SAS, you will own and develop our traffic acquisition capability with metasearch as the primary focus, while identifying and scaling new digital distribution and acquisition channels that drive profitable demand, revenue growth, and stronger direct customer relationships. 

Challenges you will work on:

• Own the commercial performance of SAS’s metasearch channels end-to-end, balancing revenue growth, acquisition cost, profitability, content accuracy, and long-term partner value.  
• Build and develop relationships with metasearch partners, driving performance through commercial discussions, performance reviews, data-quality follow-up and ongoing collaboration. 
• Work closely with colleagues across e-commerce, pricing, distribution, analytics, and legal to ensure that availability, fares, products, new markets, codeshares, and sales initiatives are correctly represented across metasearch surfaces.  
• Use partner portals and performance data to identify trends, generate actionable insights, and optimize conversion.  
• Beyond metasearch, you will explore, evaluate, and develop new digital acquisition and distribution channels, such as affiliates and partnerships, defining the commercial framework, tracking setup, and performance expectations needed to scale them profitably. 

The Team

You will be part of the Performance Management team, which includes Paid specialists and CRM, and you will collaborate closely with Analytics, IT, Digital Sales, and e-Commerce. We are a collaborative team that values data-driven decision-making, strong execution, knowledge sharing, and genuine curiosity about how new technology, partnerships and marketing capabilities can create value. 

To be successful we believe you have

You enjoy working at the intersection of partnerships, digital channels, and commercial growth. Building strong relationships with both internal stakeholders and external partners is a key part of the role. Curiosity, commercial awareness, and a collaborative mindset will support your ability to create long term value, strengthen partnerships, and contribute to sustainable growth. 

You are analytical and curious about what drives performance. Working in partner portals and performance data to spot trends and gaps, and turning them into concrete optimization actions, comes naturally to you. A proactive approach and the ability to drive initiatives forward are important, as is the ability to navigate different perspectives and move opportunities from idea to implementation. At the same time, you are able to balance commercial opportunities with a long-term perspective and a focus on continuous improvement. 

• Several years’ hands-on experience from traffic acquisition, digital commerce, business development, partnerships, key account management, or a similar commercial field. 
• Experience working hands-on with metasearch, affiliate, or other partner-based acquisition channels. 
• Experience working with digital partners and a genuine interest in creating long-term value through collaboration, commercial development, and performance improvement. 
• Understanding of digital distribution and travel content, including availability, fares, product representation, tracking quality, and how metasearch differs from traditional GDS-based distribution. 

We consider it a plus if you have 

• Education in business administration, marketing, economics, digital commerce, or related fields. 
• Experience from e-commerce or the travel industry. 
• Knowledge of GDS, Amadeus, airline distribution, ancillary revenue, or conversion optimization.
