About Engine

Engine is the all-in-one travel and spend management platform trusted by 38K+ businesses and groups representing 1.8M+ travelers. We're the retailer and the rails of business travel, one of the fastest-growing companies in travel tech, built on a decade of proprietary technology, supply, and pricing no one else can replicate. Other travel and AI companies run on our infrastructure to book real trips, hold rates, and move payments, without building any of it themselves. We built it, AI-forward at every layer, from how travelers book to how the rails run. That work has earned recognition as one of Fast Company's Best Workplaces for Innovators (2025), TravelTech's Reservation Platform of the Year (2026), and one of Built In's Best Places to Work (2020–2026). We're looking for bold, ambitious people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel. Working here, you can expect exponential growth, an ambitious pace, full ownership, and high-caliber colleagues who push you to do the best work of your career. Every hire raises the bar.

Come outpace the ordinary and build the future of travel with us.

Your Mission

You own growth for Engine's sports and wedding vertical, two of the most high-intent, high-value use cases in group travel. That means building the acquisition strategy from the ground up, finding the channels and programs that move the needle, and scaling what works. You'll bring a point of view, test it relentlessly, and turn what you learn into a repeatable growth engine.

This isn't just a channel management role. You'll shape how we acquire and retain customers, influence what we build for them, and help define what winning in this space looks like for Engine.

Key Responsibilities

Own Acquisition Strategy : Identify the highest-leverage opportunities at the top of the funnel. Build the strategy, translate it into experiments, ship them fast, and scale what works. Digital, field events, referral programs, affiliate, community—nothing is off the table.

Drive Cross-Functional Alignment : Work closely with Product and Sales to identify what's holding us back from winning more wedding room blocks and help shape the roadmap to close those gaps. You'll bring the customer perspective and the market data.

Build Best-In-Class Lifecycle Programs : Partner with our lifecycle team to design end-to-end programs that transform the wedding customer experience, from the first touchpoint online to post-checkout. Every interaction should feel intentional and worth talking about.

Ship the Work : This is a hands-on role. Where you have the skills, execute directly. Where you don't, pull in the right people. You move fast, keep momentum, and don't wait for perfect.

Instrument and Learn : You track what matters, pull your own data, and use it to make sharper decisions. You build a learning culture around your experiments, wins and losses both.

AI-Native Growth : Engine's growth team uses AI as a core part of how we work. Leverage modern tooling to move faster, personalize at scale, and run more tests without depending on engineering or ops.

Qualifications

Strong growth marketing background with a track record of building and scaling acquisition programs across paid, organic, referral, field, or other channels

Experience running structured experimentation: hypothesis, test, learn, scale, and share your learnings. You don’t just stop when the experiment is done either. If you sees positive signal, you make the case to get more resources to grow.

Comfort with data. You pull your own analysis, build models, and back your strategy with numbers. Familiarity with tools like Amplitude, SQL, or similar is a plus

Strong cross-functional operator who knows how to work with Product, Design, and Lifecycle teams to get things built and shipped

AI fluency. You use AI to multiply your output, not as a novelty

High ownership mentality. You treat this vertical like a GM, not like a channel manager

Preferred Qualifications

Background in B2C or marketplace growth where the buyer is high-intent and emotionally invested

Experience with paid media platforms (Google, Meta, TikTok, or similar) and lifecycle or CRM platforms (Salesforce, Customer.io, Klaviyo, Braze, or similar)

0-to-1 growth experience building something from early traction, not just managing at scale
