Analyst II, Global Crisis Operations Introduction to the Team The Product Team creates high-quality end-to-end experiences for travelers, partners, and Expedia Group. Our focus on customer-centric innovation enables us to develop products that build loyalty and repeat business. We partner closely with teams across Expedia Group to drive growth and achieve results for our customers and the company. Expedia Group's Global Crisis Operations function was built from the ground up to provide coordinated, intelligence-driven crisis response across EG's portfolio of brands, including Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo, and others. Our team spans Seattle, London, and Gurgaon, providing continuous global coverage across natural hazard events, geopolitical crises, aviation disruptions, public health events, and emerging threats. We operate as a cross-functional hub, working daily with Finance, Legal, Government Affairs, Communications, Customer Operations, and a standing Crisis Tiger Team, to ensure EG can protect travelers and respond to disruption with speed, accuracy, and care. ​ You bring a strong sense of urgency to high-consequence, fast-moving situations. You recognize emerging risk early, rapidly prioritize traveler and business impact, and move from analysis to clear recommendation and action without sacrificing accuracy. You know when to escalate, how to maintain momentum across stakeholders and time zones, and how to remain calm, organized, and decisive when conditions are changing quickly. This is not a passive monitoring role. You will bring urgency and judgment to every phase of the response, from detecting emerging risk and quantifying impact to coordinating mitigation, communicating clearly, and ensuring decisions are made in time to protect travelers, partners, and EG. The language reflects Crisis Operations' existing expectations: real-time monitoring, evidence-based assessment, action within established SLAs, clear ownership, and coordinated response under pressure. The best candidates for this role think in systems, not checklists. You understand that a Category 4 storm making landfall in Cancun is not just a weather event. It is a cascade of flight cancellations, hotel evacuations, stranded travelers, partner relations calls, and leadership questions that all hit simultaneously. You have been in that kind of environment before. You know how to stay calm, communicate clearly, and keep others oriented when things are moving fast. In this role, you will: Monitor global threat intelligence feeds, meteorological data, geopolitical risk sources, and open-source information streams to identify emerging crisis events in real time Assess severity, scope, and traveler impact of events including but not limited to tropical cyclones, earthquakes, wildfires, floods, civil unrest, armed conflict, terrorism, and mass casualty events Apply structured analytical frameworks to distinguish developing situations from noise, and escalate at the right threshold with clear impact assessments Maintain situational awareness across multiple concurrent events, producing concise internal intelligence summaries for leadership and cross-functional partners Execute crisis response actions within established SLAs, including
