VP Product

About the role

At TravelPerk, we’ve always believed business travel could be better: easier, faster, more human. So we built a category-leading platform to prove it.

Now we’re raising the bar again.

Marketplace is the engine behind TravelPerk. With over $200 million in annual revenue, it powers every booking, every traveller, and every partner integration — from flights and hotels to rail, car hire, inventory systems, APIs, and post-booking automation. But it’s more than infrastructure. Marketplace is how we deliver flexibility, choice, and innovation to customers at scale. It’s central to our growth and the foundation for everything we’re building next.

To lead this chapter, we’re hiring a Vice President of Product, Marketplace. Reporting to our new CPO, you’ll own the strategy, execution, and team across our entire travel stack. This isn’t a greenfield build. It’s a mature, high-scale platform that already works. Now it needs to move faster, operate more efficiently, and meet a new level of reliability and performance.

This is a builder’s role, but not in the traditional sense. You won’t be starting from zero. You’ll be scaling a complex product to new levels of maturity, automation, and trust. You’ll raise the bar for technical quality, team execution, and customer experience. And you’ll do it all with clarity, intensity, and deep product leadership.

Why this role matters

TravelPerk now operates two core business units:

• Marketplace (Travel): a $200 million ARR platform powering millions of trips and billions in transactions

• Spend & Control (Expenses, Invoicing, Approvals): a fast-growing $100 million ARR business with major product expansion underway

As VP of Product – Marketplace, you’ll lead the entire travel domain: supply integrations, vertical product experiences (flights, hotels, rail, car rental), post-booking flows, APIs, automation layers, and our growing ecosystem of third-party partner integrations.

Marketplace is not just a feature. It is the foundation. It powers our scale and supports the experiences customers rely on every day. This role is critical to TravelPerk’s growth, operational stability, and strategic positioning.

 

What you’ll do

• Own and evolve the Marketplace product vision, roadmap, and team

• Lead a cross-functional organisation of around 60 across product, design, and research, partnering closely with over 200 engineers

• Manage a high-scale, mature product suite across flights, hotels, rail, and car rental

• Increase system speed, scalability, and platform reliability to support continued growth

• Scale our inventory connectivity across NDC, GDS, and direct integrations

• Drive automation across post-booking experiences and operational workflows

• Expand our integrations Marketplace, enabling customers to connect HR, payments, expense, and sustainability tools into their travel workflows

• Partner closely with Engineering and Supply to deliver high-impact technical and commercial improvements

• Build and lead high-performing teams with clear goals, strong ownership, and consistent delivery

What we’re looking for

• 10+ years in senior product leadership roles (Director/VP level), ideally in travel tech or high-scale marketplace platforms

• Strong technical fluency, especially across transactional systems, APIs, and automation

• A track record of leading large product organisations (30+ in product/design, 100+ in engineering)

• Comfort operating in complex, high-volume environments with operational pressure and scale

• Proven ability to raise the bar across uneven teams and drive strong execution quickly

• Experience scaling platform layers, connectivity, or partner ecosystems

• A clear, confident communicator who brings focus, energy, and urgency to the team

Why now? Why you?

Marketplace is already a $200 million business. But it is nowhere near done.

There is a team in place. There is volume. There is demand. What we need now is leadership. Someone who can turn Marketplace into a world-class product organisation — reliable, focused, and high-performing.

This is a rare opportunity to lead one of the most strategic areas of our product at true scale, with full executive backing and visibility. You’ll work with smart, ambitious people. You’ll take on tough technical and operational challenges. And you’ll help shape the future of business travel, every day.

If that sounds like the right kind of challenge, we’d love to meet you!
