Head of Travel Infrastructure & Business Development I HYROX Experience (d/w/m)

HYROX is the first global fitness race for everybody. But the journey doesn’t stop at the finish line. HYROX Experiences extends the lifestyle beyond the race. We focus on Fitness Traveling: camps, cruises, and race packages and building a comprehensive infrastructure around our events. We want our community to live the HYROX lifestyle on vacation, collect unique shared experiences, and train together. HYROX is no longer just a race; it is a global ecosystem. While our athletes conquer the arena, you build the physical and digital world around them. We are not looking for a "Travel Coordinator." We are looking for a Strategic Architect to bridge the gap between professional tourism, travel-tech, and sports lifestyle. You will be responsible for building a new business unit from the ground up, managing global partnerships, and scaling our travel infrastructure to match our extensive global growth. As our Head of Travel Infrastructure & Business Development (d/w/m), you are the commercial and operational brain behind every journey taken in the HYROX name.
