Get to Know our Team
The Customer Experience Group (CEG) of Agoda effectively serves our customers and partners to ensure satisfying results. This great task is accomplished with the support of our Global Service Verticals (GSV) team. We serve as the backbone for CEG’s global operations. Our team is comprised of project managers, process owners, analysts, and talent management. Together we work nonstop to improve the quality and efficiency of our customer and partner support processes. We are a very data-driven environment, eager to move fast and learn through experimentation. A clear focus on supporting our customers and partners is bolstered by a strong, entrepreneurial culture that enriches us and Agoda’s business performance. 

This role is within the Partner Excellence team, which is a part of CEG’s Global Service Verticals. The team focuses on driving end‑to‑end partner experience and process improvements, and scaling impact through automation, AI, and tooling across both partner-facing and agent-facing journeys.

You will lead a high‑performing team of project managers/experts to drive measurable impact on customer satisfaction, efficiency, quality, and cost.

Lead and Own a Portfolio of Transformational Initiatives 

• Own from end‑to‑end a collection of projects and/or areas of business in CEG (global coverage), spanning commercial enablement and process excellence initiatives.

• Drive strategic initiatives across CEG such as improving complex systems support in key growth markets, regulatory initiatives and partner closely with our commercial teams in order to improve partner/supplier pain points. 
• Identify opportunities to leverage automation, AI, and tooling across customer, partner and agent journeys (e.g., self‑service, post-booking APIs). 

 Lead and Develop a High‑Performing Team 

• Set long‑term vision, strategy, and annual/quarterly OKRs for your team, aligning with CEG and Agoda-wide priorities.
• Manage and coach a team of project managers (and potentially people managers), building talent, capability, and succession within the Partner Excellence team.
• Provide structured feedback, mentoring, and support to enable your team’s growth and to consistently raise the bar for quality and impact.
• Build trusted relationships with senior leaders and stakeholders across CEG and other functions, effectively influencing priorities and decisions.
