About Rome2Rio

www.rome2rio.com | Discover how to get anywhere

At Rome2Rio, our mission is simple: help travellers get from A to any B. We make it easy to compare flights, trains, buses, ferries, and driving routes - providing everything users need to discover, plan, and book their journey. Behind the scenes, we tackle complex routing challenges, process massive datasets, and optimise search performance to deliver fast, reliable results to millions of users each month.

Rome2Rio is part of the Omio Group, a global multi‑brand travel platform headquartered in Berlin. Together with Omio, we’re building the leading ecosystem for transport discovery and booking—serving a combined audience of over 900 million users globally.

Job Description

We’re at the very beginning of a bold new chapter: launching a premium advertising business that connects our global audience with the world’s top travel and tourism brands.

We’re now looking for an Ad Sales Manager in EMEA to help support and accelerate our expansion. You’ll report directly to the Senior Sales Manager, EMEA & APAC, and work closely with her to shape how we go to market, grow revenue, and build strong, lasting client relationships across the region.

If you’re the kind of seller who wants more than a book of business — if you’re looking to build, lead, and influence — this is that kind of role.

What You’ll Do

• Drive and grow ad sales in EMEA across Omio Group, focusing on premium travel, tourism, and endemic brands.
• Build and manage a pipeline of high‑value advertisers — from DMOs and hotel brands to rail operators, airlines, and media agencies.
• Partner with Product, Marketing, Ad Ops, and Data to bring creative campaigns to life.
  Represent Rome2Rio at key industry events across your regions.
• Share market and client insights that help shape our strategy and ad product.
  Collaborate closely with our Sales Managers across the globe to build a global, high‑performing sales approach.
• Be part of a ‘no‑ego’ smart and driven team where your voice and ideas truly matter.

Qualifications

What You’ll Bring

• 3–5 years of experience in digital advertising or media sales, ideally in the travel and tourism space.
• A strong commercial instinct and proven track record of closing high‑impact deals.
• Confidence navigating client conversations, building relationships, and managing a dynamic pipeline.
• A builder mindset — you’re excited by possibility and comfortable creating structure where it doesn’t yet exist.
• A collaborative, thoughtful communicator who thrives in fast‑moving, cross‑functional environments.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience selling into different EMEA markets, or working with global brands and agencies.
• Knowledge of programmatic, native, and performance‑based media.
• Experience in the travel industry is a plus.
