Travel obsessed? Big tech fan? Hey, you’re in good company. If you want to be part of the industry that makes the world go round, then look no further. Travelport is the brains behind lots of your travel bookings- plane, car or hotel. Our technology is used to book that magical holiday, infamous long-awaited bucket list trip or that overdue school reunion. While we can’t solve mosquito bites or lost luggage, we can simplify a lot of the technical parts of travel, and we’re looking for the best thinkers to help us do it.
How you’ll make an impact: As Director, Solutions Strategy you start with the customer problem, diagnose the real need, and then shape the right combination of product, platform, data, services, partner and commercial capability. You have strong storytelling and executive communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex ideas and influence across functions without relying on hierarchy. You have the discipline to build repeatable playbooks, but the commercial instinct to know when a live customer opportunity should shape the model. You’re hands-on. This is a Director-level role, but it is not a “strategy from the balcony” role. You will build, test, ship, measure and improve the work. You have a growth mindset, thrive in ambiguity and are motivated by building something new that changes how the business sells.
Likely backgrounds include GTM strategy, commercial strategy, solution consulting, enterprise sales engineering, industry strategy, management consulting, revenue strategy, commercially oriented Product Marketing or senior solution-led commercial roles. Bonus points if you have experience in travel technology, GDS, NDC, travel marketplaces, TMC, OTA, hotel, supplier, agency or aggregator environments.
We offer a package that includes 25 days annual leave per annum, hybrid working model, pension contribution, private medical, life assurance and personal travel insurance. We believe all employees contribute to the success of the company and should be able to share in that success, which is why all jobs are eligible to participate in our bonus program with any payouts being subject to individual and company performance.
