We take pride in our Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and are looking for a data rock star to add to our high-performing team. 

What Will You Learn?

• Travel Industry: While your goal will be to increase SEO traffic to TripAdvisor, you will get the opportunity to learn about all aspects of the Travel Industry (e.g. Competitor Analysis, Top Destinations by Market, etc.) You will then leverage your findings to optimize our site to reflect market demand. 
• Other Skills: At TripAdvisor, we emphasize quantitative analysis and thorough experimentation. You will learn how to gather the preliminary data to build an experiment and how to subsequently analyze these results. We move quickly! Within weeks you will be writing specs, running tests, analyzing results, and making decisions that have real effects on revenue and profit for the company.

Why Work Here?

• Start-up Atmosphere with a Big Name Brand: At TripAdvisor you get all the pros of being at a start-up, while enjoying the resources of a global powerhouse. TripAdvisor features a casual work atmosphere, free lunch 5 days a week, a game room that includes ping pong and pool tables, and our full on-site gym.

What Are We Looking For?

• Professional Experience: 2 – 3 Years of experience in an analytical, data driven role (e.g. Consulting, Finance, Marketing Analytics, etc.)
• Tech / web-savvy: You have a natural curiosity about web companies, new start-ups, and the travel world. Existing knowledge of SEO, SEM and HTML is also a plus, but not a requirement. If you’ve built your own website and tried to make it rank on Google – that’s even better!
• Striving to Get Better: We expect you to be smart, hard-working, detail-oriented, organized, and motivated. You should constantly be looking for ways to improve on your skills and look for ways to add value to the team.
