Who are we and how do we work?

What makes a customer complete a booking? And what causes them to abandon the process along the way? These questions are the starting point for our everyday work.

We are responsible for developing and optimising the online booking journey across four markets: Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary. We analyse data, observe user behaviour and identify opportunities that can translate into a better customer experience and higher conversion rates.

In this role, your contribution will go beyond analysis. You will have a genuine impact on what we change and develop. Working closely with Product, UX and Development teams, you will translate business and customer needs into specific solutions, test them and assess their impact on business performance.

Our area is stable and performs well. Now, we want to take it to the next level by making better use of data, gaining an even deeper understanding of our customers and continuously improving the booking process.

If you are naturally driven by curiosity, analytical thinking and the desire to find better solutions, this role will give you plenty of space to put these strengths into practice.
