The Mission

GetYourGuide knows a lot about travelers, and we want to make better use of that data. Identity, booking history, browsing behavior, care conversations, preferences and predictions all sit in separate systems, in different shapes. The User Platform team is a brand new function with truly outsized opportunity for impact. They are building the traveler context layer: resolving who someone is across devices and sessions, and turning scattered signals into a shared, interpretable, and predictive understanding that every team can build on. As this function matures, the scope will extend to our other users over time.
