Growth & Partnerships Manager, Thailand Based in Bangkok

You know Thailand in a way most people don't. Not from the usual circuit — from actually digging. You've found the chef who takes guests into the market at dawn, explaining which herbs are which and why, before turning it all into something that makes you rethink what Thai food can be. You've stayed in places that don't show up on any booking platform because you knew who to ask. You've done your homework before setting foot in any "ethical" elephant experience. You have strong opinions about what makes travel genuinely worth doing — and you know how to turn that taste into a business. DO NOT apply if your idea of an ideal holiday is chilling at the hotel, going shopping or hanging out on the beach.

At Seek Sophie, we're building the world's most trusted platform for meaningful, local-led travel across Southeast Asia. We're hiring a Growth & Partnerships Manager to own Thailand — with full P&L ownership, new business targets, and the creative latitude to shape what this market looks like on the platform.

This is a commercial role. You'll have targets, you'll own the full sales cycle, and you'll be accountable for growth. But the reason the role works is because the best person for it can tell a genuinely great experience from a mediocre one dressed up in good photography — and cares about the difference.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be growing Seek Sophie's Thailand supply by finding and closing the experiences worth putting on the platform:

• Identifying new destinations within Thailand that are commercially viable and genuinely aligned with what Seek Sophie travellers care about
• Spotting experiences that are cool, local-led, and not already on every other platform — including wildlife experiences that actually hold up to scrutiny
• Assessing commercial viability: market demand, pricing, and scalability
• Developing go-to-market strategy for new destinations
• Owning the full sales cycle from sourcing and outreach through to pitching, negotiation, and onboarding
• Negotiating commission structures and terms confidently
• Working with partners to launch compelling, conversion-ready listings
• Hitting monthly and quarterly acquisition targets
• Monitoring growth and driving revenue improvements
• Maintaining strong relationships with partners while holding performance standards
• Travelling to meet partners and vet their experiences firsthand
• Finding creative ways to drive growth beyond the established playbook

Who We're Looking For

• 5–8 years in business development, sales, or partnerships — with a track record of closing deals and hitting measurable targets
• 1–2 years growing or opening new markets, ideally in an online marketplace context
• Comfortable negotiating pricing and commercial terms; understands numbers and unit economics
• Execution-oriented: moves quickly, follows through, high sense of urgency
• Strong taste and judgement — you can tell which experiences will resonate with Seek Sophie travellers because you are one. You seek out the chefs doing something nobody else is doing with local ingredients, research whether the elephant sanctuary you're visiting is the real thing, and have found accommodation that stopped you in your tracks — not because it was expensive, but because someone thought hard about it
• Extensive travel experience within Thailand and beyond
• Warm, curious, and genuinely good at building trust with people
• Purpose-driven: you want your work to matter
• Able to travel independently for up to several weeks at a time
• Fluent in Thai, professional proficiency in English
• Based in Bangkok with legal authorisation to work in Thailand

If This Is You, We'd Love to Hear:

• A short intro about yourself and why this role
• A measurable target you've hit in a past role and how you got there
• An Indonesian host or experience that should be on Seek Sophie (please send a link to their website or IG) — why it's genuinely off the beaten path, and why it would also sell

Compensation

• THB 90K–160K/month (depending on experience)
• Unlimited leave
• Health insurance stipend
