Marketing Growth and Experimentation Lead

Einleitung

Join us in making a difference

The Marketing Strategy and Intelligence team at trivago is a unique blend of data and business expertise, steering key marketing decisions through impactful data products, actionable insights, and deep market understanding. We're now establishing a Marketing Growth and Experimentation team to embed experimentation at scale across the organization—designed to create a flywheel of discovering and exploiting new business opportunities, from new marketing channels to cross-vertical initiatives and beyond.

As the Marketing Growth and Experimentation Lead, you will set the vision, operating model, and roadmap for a multidisciplinary team focused on opportunity pipeline, experimentation, and validation. You'll partner with Brand and Performance Marketing, Product, and Finance to identify and test new marketing channels and tactics, turning promising ideas into validated initiatives that accelerate pipeline, revenue, and brand impact.

You will work directly with senior business leaders across the organization to unlock growth through a rigorous discovery-to-validation pipeline. Together with your team, you will establish experimentation and measurement frameworks; run pilots, A/B tests, geo lifts, and business-case-driven experiments; define success metrics and guardrails; and hand over validated opportunities to the right owners for scale. You'll align closely with the Marketing Science and Operations team on measurement and learning so every experiment is grounded in robust data and clear outcomes.
