The Director of Sales will lead this effort, developing the strategy, team, and execution model that brings new advertisers onto the platform and expands relationships with existing ones.

This role is not just about hitting revenue targets. It is about shaping how the travel industry thinks about retail media, educating the market, and positioning HTS Media as the must-buy platform for performance-driven advertising in travel.

• Almost 30% of our app customers purchase at least one fintech product when making a booking; and consumers are 1.6x more likely to repurchase if they add fintech to their booking vs if they booked just travel.

Through HTS, any travel provider (airlines, hotels, banks, travel agencies, etc.) can integrate and seamlessly distribute Hopper's fintech or travel inventory on their direct channels.
