Description

About Us TravelPerk is a global travel and expense management platform. Its all-in-one platform gives travelers the freedom they want whilst providing companies with the control they need. The result saves time, money, and hassle for everyone. TravelPerk has industry-leading travel inventory alongside powerful management features, 24/7 customer support, state-of-the-art technology, and consumer-grade design. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Barcelona, we’ve grown to over 1,800 people across Europe and North America. In 2022 we became a ‘unicorn’ and in 2025, we raised Series E funding at $2.7 billion valuation, alongside our acquisition of Yokoy, to become the leader in integrated travel and expense management. We’ve been winning awards too. Since 2023, we’ve been voted one of the best places to work, one of the fastest-growing apps and tech companies, and a leading pioneer of business travel. These are just some of the reasons why global brands like Wise, Red Bull, GetYourGuide, and Aesop trust us to get the most out of their travel. Hear more about TravelPerk. We’re scaling fast across the US and Europe, and our global team of almost 2000 colleagues continues to grow, and fast! As we expand our reach, launch new products and enter new markets, we need to stay sharp, scalable and human. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for a People Partner to join our high-performing team and partner with leaders across our Builders business unit to deliver people strategies that drive performance, engagement, and scalable growth. As a People Partner, you’ll work closely with senior managers and functional leaders to translate company priorities into actionable people plans. 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. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, know how to balance tactical delivery with strategic thinking, and want to make a meaningful impact on people and performance, we’d love to meet you. What you’ll do Partner with Leaders to Deliver People Plans 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. Implement and manage key people processes (e.g. performance reviews, engagement surveys, talent planning) in your functions, ensuring quality and consistency. Our values are at the heart of everything we do here at TK. You’ll shape the employee experience across the teams you partner, and beyond. Help us listen carefully, act on feedback and build a culture that people want to be part of. Drive Performance and Engagement Support leaders to embed the performance process, ensuring objectives, feedback, and development conversations drive high performance. Use a range of data insights including People Data, Engagement Results, performance, and external sources to proactively partner on action planning, and monitor progress against agreed initiatives. Champion our values and ensure they are embedded into ways of working. Use people data to diagnose challenges, track progress, and recommend improvements. Lead Change at a Functional Level Co-deliver change management activities with Senior Leaders and Managers, ensuring buy-in, clear communication, leader enablement, and smooth implementation.

Identify capability gaps and partner with the relevant People Team functions to address them, including through the creation and delivery of learning content. You’ll bring insight, challenge and clarity to business decisions, team structures and leadership plans. With huge growth plans comes ambiguity and a need to adapt our approach regularly; you’ll be comfortable navigating unknowns, and bring confidence in others through ambiguity. 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.
