Director, Public Relations & Communications

About the Team Corporate Communication shapes how Traveloka is understood by the public, the press, and its own people. We own the external story and the internal one: the headlines journalists write across eleven Southeast Asian markets, the way millions of travellers feel about the brand, and the messages that reach our own teams from Jakarta to Singapore to Bangkok. We protect and build the reputation of one of the region's most recognised consumer names. You will craft narratives that travel — pitching reporters, steering a story under pressure, and turning company milestones into things people actually want to read and share. You write fast and clearly, you read a newsroom and a boardroom equally well, and you know that in a super-app moving at this speed, reputation is built one well-told story at a time. If you want your work seen across the region, this is the team.
