About the Role
We're growing the supply side of Klook's New Experiences business - an early-stage category with real momentum. This role owns supply expansion across our priority destinations: recruiting merchants, negotiating strong commercial terms, and building out the depth and breadth of itineraries on offer.
What You'll Do
- Expand supply coverage and depth across our priority destinations, with a particular focus on strengthening categories and itinerary types where our current offering is thinner than traveler demand.
- Negotiate strong commercial terms (rates, commission, exclusivity, promotional support) with local operators and destination specialists across our New Experiences offering.
- Build and own merchant relationships with global, multi-language supply partners, from first outreach through signed agreement and onboarding handoff.
Market & Category Leadership
- Set destination-level sourcing priorities that translate market and catalog insight into concrete supplier targets.
- Monitor the competitive landscape and translate market intelligence into sourcing and commercial strategy.
- Represent Klook at industry events and with strategic partners, and act as a senior commercial voice for New Experiences supply.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Guide Business Development Associates on merchant onboarding standards, content quality and negotiation playbooks.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to align supply coverage with the booking journey and go-to-market plans.
- Report on supply health and business reviews to leadership, tracking growth in coverage, merchant count and catalog quality.
What You'll Need
- 5+ years of industry experience with proven expertise in business development, ideally in travel, OTA, tours & activities or a related supply-heavy marketplace.
- A demonstrated track record of sourcing, negotiating and closing supplier partnerships at scale, across multiple markets and languages.
- Language:English and Mandarin are both required, to negotiate directly with merchants and partners across our international markets.
- Strong commercial judgment - comfortable structuring rate and commission deals and defending margin.
- Data-driven and structured - able to turn catalog and market insight into a prioritized sourcing plan.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and willing to travel internationally to build supplier relationships on the ground.
