- You’ll bring clarity, commerciality, and care to everything you do, enabling leaders to make confident decisions and empowering teams to thrive
- Due to the recent acquisition and ongoing integration of two organisations alongside our huge growth ambitions, this role is for someone who thrives in fast paced, scaling environments and knows how to bring clarity, commerciality, and dedication to employee experience in fast-scaling teams
- You’ll be responsible for implementing core people processes, enabling change initiatives, and ensuring we’re building a culture that reflects our values as we scale
- Work with Senior Leaders and Managers to co-create people priorities with business goals
- Provide insight, challenge, and recommendations on people topics across the full employee lifecycle including org design, high performance culture, and leading change
- Act as a trusted adviser and coach, ensuring leaders have the mindset, capability, and confidence to lead their teams effectively

- What success looks like:
- Leaders in your functions feel equipped and confident to lead their teams through growth and change, and to drive performance, engagement and team development
- Core people processes are delivered with consistency, quality, and impact
- People insights such as engagement, churn, and absence remain healthy, and engagement and performance metrics in your functions improve, with clear links to actions you’ve partnered on

- Successful project delivery across your business function and the People Team
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 GetYourGuide, Breilting, Aesop and Medskin.
According to TravelPerk, its unit economics are strong already, which puts it in a good position to grow without diluting itself too much through investment. The company is still innovating and is planning to release more products that will give the business traveller more freedom and flexibility than ever before. A US expansion included the 2024 acquisition of AmTrav, whilst the acquisition of AI spend management leader Yokoy in Europe indicates a period of international scaling. Further exemplifying this is its Series E funding of $200 million awarded in 2025, which raised TravelPerk's valuation to $2.7 billion and will help it continue its growth.
