Senior Business Development - US/CA (all genders)

We have built a cutting-edge B2B technology platform that connects bus, rail, and ferry operators in 70+ countries with the biggest online retailers, including Google Maps and Booking.com.

We are shaping the future of travel and building the largest global network of transport providers and retailers. We are one of the fastest growing startups in travel, backed by leading venture capital investors including TQ Ventures, Lightrock, Creandum, and Northzone, and are headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Following our recent $80m Series C funding, we are ready to push beyond.

As we expand our operations and offerings across North America, we are looking for a Senior Business Developer to drive our business initiatives in the region, focusing on acquiring and onboarding new bus and ferry partners in North America, as well as managing relationships with the carriers and retailers in the region.

• Support cross-selling of expanding suite of products and services into the transport operators (White-Labels, BI tools, Mobile Booking Solutions, etc.).

• Leverage data analysis to understand partner performance and identify opportunities within our global retail network.

• Work closely with the tech, product, retail, and finance teams to ensure smooth integration, ramp-up, and ongoing operations.

Workplace:

What you can expect:

• You will join a fast-paced travel tech company and take on a rapidly growing industry.

• You will take on ownership and responsibility from day one and have a direct impact on the success of the company.

• We value agility! We’re constantly updating our tech stack and offer the best possible tools to ensure all of our in-house engineers, partners, and carriers benefit from cutting-edge, efficient solutions.

• You will work with global companies. Our product attracts the biggest names in travel technology, such as Booking.com, Google Maps, and national carriers like Amtrak, Deutsche Bahn, Renfe, and SNCF.

• As part of the management team, you will shape our strategy and organization beyond your area of responsibility.
