We provide the platform; you bring the vision. From day one, you’ll be trusted to pioneer new ideas, experiment boldly, and lead initiatives that matter. Collaboration is at our core: you’ll work alongside teams across the business, integrating broad knowledge with deep expertise.
“Working in the Global Affairs team, I get to collaborate with talented colleagues from around the world, tackling real challenges in the technology and travel industry. Through working with partners and government stakeholders, we are creating a new era of travel where flexible and sustainable demands are met and it’s incredibly rewarding to see how our work has a tangible impact. It’s exciting to be part of a team that’s not only diverse but also deeply committed to creating a more sustainable and innovative future for tourism.”
“At Agoda, I have the incredible opportunity to work with international colleagues right in the heart of Bangkok, which enriches my professional experience with diverse cultural insights. Being part of the Global Affairs team places me in a unique position at the intersection of policymakers, business, and society. We play a crucial role in bridging policy needs with business outcomes and driving partnerships with government stakeholders. Agoda’s strength lies in leveraging its diversity to achieve localized outcomes. In Global Affairs, we learn from each other and use these lessons to shape the future of travel and technology policy. This dynamic environment not only fosters personal growth but also allows us to make a significant impact on the industry.”
“Strategic Engagements is the ‘Skunk Works’ division of the Government Affairs team. We innovate at the intersection of travel and technology, building meaningful partnerships at the regional and market levels. As part of Government Affairs Central team, we work with market leads across the region in creating new pathways for building trust and impact. We lead executive engagements in close tandem with market leads and bring strategic initiatives to life at the regional level. This has been a deeply rewarding experience for me – learning from my awesome colleagues and bringing our collective minds together to be a force for good.”
