Role
Who you are
- If you’re excited about owning initiatives, building a strong manager community, and driving high-impact leadership development, we’d love to meet you!
- You’re passionate about manager development, with experience in designing and delivering high-impact learning experiences in a fast-paced, tech-driven scale-up environment
- You thrive on autonomy and love taking ownership of your work
- A natural relationship-builder, you can connect with everyone—from junior managers to senior executives
- You’re both strategic and practical, with the ability to create proposals that offer clear, actionable recommendations
- You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into the details—from planning through to execution and communication
- You have a first-principles mindset, always questioning and experimenting to find innovative learning solutions
- You’re a skilled facilitator, confident in both online and in-person settings, delivering engaging and impactful sessions
- You prioritise leadership growth over process-heavy training, focusing on skills that make a real difference across teams
- You’re excited to support broader L&D initiatives, while keeping your focus firmly on manager enablement
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Learning & Development Partner to lead manager development
- In this newly created role, you’ll design innovative learning initiatives that have a lasting leadership impact across the company
- You'll adopt a "people-as-a-product" approach, where learning experiences are built, tested, and refined like our products
- From in-person practice labs, roundtables to virtual workshops, your goal will be to create transformative leadership programmes that blend human-centred design with real-world application
- Manager Development: Design and deliver innovative programmes—workshops, practice labs and initiatives that enhance leadership skills
- Strategic Partnership: Act as a key thought partner to senior leaders, ensuring learning initiatives align with company goals
- Stakeholder Engagement: Build strong relationships with business leaders to ensure seamless programme execution
- Take Charge: Lead projects from concept to delivery, proposing creative solutions and maintaining attention to detail at every stage
- Innovate & Iterate: Continuously improve internal learning content, ensuring it’s practical and impactful
- Cross-functional Leadership Development: Build leadership skills that resonate across teams—focusing on human-centric growth rather than function-specific expertise
- Be Bold: Ruthlessly prioritise high-impact initiatives, experiment with fresh ideas, and refine what works
- Manager Community: Foster spaces where managers can step back from day-to-day tasks to engage in meaningful growth and reflection
- Travel: Facilitate both in-person and virtual workshops, with travel to our hubs in the UK, US, and beyond
Application process
- We provide relocation assistance for specific roles. Please specify your need for this in your application, and we will evaluate the possibility on a case-by-case basis
- English is our official office language, so we request that resumes be submitted in English for effective communication
Our take
Although business travellers are often at the forefront of driving company growth, booking travel is typically a logistical nightmare as corporate travel tools are underdeveloped and stuck way in the past. TravelPerk has built a platform free from micromanagement, creating an experience that puts business travellers first.
TravelPerk's number of active users has grown year on year. Further, as well as more customers using the platform, those on it are using it more regularly. This is a clear signal that TravelPerk has a product market fit and is in scaling mode. The company has more than 2,000 customers, including scaleups like Revolut, Farfetch and Beyond Meat.
According to TravelPerk, its unit economics are strong already, which puts it in a strong position to grow without diluting itself too much through investment. The company is still innovating and said it is planning to release more products that will give the business traveller more freedom and flexibility than ever before. Its new Edinburgh hub and partnership with fintech unicorn Pleo, TravelPerk is undoubtedly committing to a period of scaling. Exemplifying this is its Series D funding of $104 million awarded in January 2024, which will boost TravelPerk's AI and automation capabilities to aid its growth.
