Get to Know our Team
The Customer Experience Group (CEG) of Agoda effectively serves our customers and partners to ensure satisfying results. This great task is accomplished with the support of our Global Service Verticals (GSV) team. We serve as the backbone for CEG’s global operations. Our team is comprised of project managers, process owners, analysts, and talent management.

About Agoda
At Agoda, we bridge the world through travel. Our story began in 2005, when two lifelong friends and entrepreneurs, driven by their passion for travel, launched Agoda to make it easier for everyone to explore the world.
Today, we are part of Booking Holdings [NASDAQ: BKNG], with a diverse team of over 7,000 people from 90 countries, working together in offices around the globe. Every day, we connect people to destinations and experiences, with our great deals across our millions of hotels and holiday properties, flights, and experiences worldwide.
No two days are the same at Agoda. Data and technology are at the heart of our culture, fueling our curiosity and innovation. If you’re ready to begin your best journey and help build travel for the world, join us.
About the Team
The People Team at Agoda is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining exceptional talent from across the globe. We work to create an inclusive, high-performing, and engaging environment where employees can grow, contribute meaningfully, and do their best work. Through a strong focus on people experience, service quality, and business partnership, we help Agoda scale while preserving what makes our culture distinctive.
Within the People Team, the People Experience and Services function is responsible for designing and delivering critical people experiences, services, and operating foundations that support employees and managers across the employee lifecycle. This includes enabling smooth onboarding and mobility experiences, delivering effective workplace and office services, and ensuring employees have access to timely, trusted, and high-quality support when they need it.
At the center of this model sits People Services & Help Desk — Agoda’s front door for People support — supported by specialist service teams such as People Relations Services. Together, these teams play a critical role in how employees and managers experience the People function day to day: through clear guidance, responsive support, effective issue resolution, and trusted handling of sensitive people matters.
Opportunity
We are looking for an Associate Director, Head of People Services & Help Desk to lead Agoda’s employee-facing People service delivery model across People Help Desk / Tier 1 support, Tier 0 / self-service foundations, and Global People Relations Services.
This is a key leadership role within People Experience and Services, responsible for shaping how employees and managers access support across a wide range of People topics — from day-to-day HR questions and lifecycle support to more complex and sensitive employee matters requiring specialist intervention.
In this role, you will lead the teams responsible for:
- People Help Desk / Tier 1 services
- Tier 0 / self-service and knowledge foundations
- Global People Relations Services, including case governance and specialist support for complex employee relations matters
You will own the effectiveness of Agoda’s People support model from the employee and manager perspective, ensuring it is clear, trusted, scalable, and increasingly insight-driven. This includes strengthening service standards, improving routing and handoffs across teams, enabling greater self-service, and ensuring sensitive employee matters are handled with appropriate quality, consistency, and governance.
This role is ideal for a leader who combines strong service delivery and operational leadership with sound judgment, systems thinking, and the ability to build a modern, scalable People support model in a global, fast-moving organization.
