Overview

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 $200 million in a Series E funding round, increasing our valuation of $2.7 billion. 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.

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 going one step further. With the acquisition of Yokoy, we’ve added world-class expense automation and spend management to our product. We’ve moved beyond travel. Now we’re rebuilding how companies manage spend from the ground up. To lead this transformation, we’ve created a new role: Vice President of Product – Spend & Control. This is one of the most important product leadership hires we’ll make this year. Reporting to our new CPO, you’ll define the vision, shape the product architecture, and lead the team building the future of Spend & Control at TravelPerk. This is not a maintenance role. It’s a builder’s challenge, with scale, ownership, and the rare opportunity to shape something new from within an existing foundation.

Why this role matters

TravelPerk Now Operates Two Core Business Units

• Marketplace (Travel): a $200 million ARR platform that is mature, well-optimised, and powers millions of trips

As VP of Product – Spend & Control, you’ll lead the full product suite and the broader platform that supports it. This includes user management, permissions, reporting, and cross-platform product architecture. You’ll help TravelPerk evolve from best-in-class travel to a unified, end-to-end spend platform for modern businesses.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve the Spend & Control product vision, roadmap, and team
• Integrate Yokoy into the TravelPerk stack to deliver a seamless, scalable experience
• Define the architecture and user experience across travel and expense, supporting both unified and standalone use cases
• Deliver advanced functionality across workflows, policy enforcement, roles and permissions, and reporting
• Launch the integrated travel and expense experience within your first year
• Build a highly configurable, mid-market-ready platform for companies ranging from 700 to 5,000 employees
• Lead a cross-functional organisation of over 40 across product, design, and research, partnering with more than 150 engineers
• Drive clarity and speed across the team, enabling product-led growth without compromising cohesion or usability
• Collaborate closely with Engineering, Sales, and Customer teams to deliver solutions that scale

Qualifications

• 10+ years in senior product leadership, ideally in B2B SaaS, fintech, or workflow-driven platforms like CRM, ERP, or HRIS
• Experience building and scaling configurable, platform-level products with strong adoption and engagement
• A track record of leading mid-sized product teams (20+ in product/design, 100+ in engineering)
• Deep understanding of workflow design, policy logic, reporting frameworks, and access control
• Proven success delivering for mid-market customers (typically 700 to 5,000 employees)
• Strong architectural thinking combined with attention to detail and user experience
• Confidence navigating complex platform integrations and driving technical evolution

Why now? Why you?

You’ve built platforms. You’ve launched complex products. You’ve scaled high-performing teams. You bring clarity to complexity, and now you’re ready for a new challenge.

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a product area that is still being shaped. You’ll have scale, momentum, and full executive support behind you. You’ll work with smart, driven people, solve difficult problems, and help shape a platform used by thousands of companies.

We’re growing fast, building ambitiously, and moving with purpose. The foundations are in place. Now we need a product leader who can take us forward.

If you’re ready to lead, build, and define the future of business spend, we’d love to meet you!

How We Work

Our Vision is for a world where TravelPerk is the platform for human connection in real life (IRL). We take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in person 3 days a week. For roles in Customer Care, this can be up to 5 days per week in the office. As such, this role requires you to be within commuting distance of our hubs. We fundamentally believe in meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, and creativity, ultimately making us a great workplace.

At TravelPerk, we prioritise experience and potential over academic qualifications for this role. We believe that talent and ability aren’t always reflected in formal credentials.

TravelPerk is a global company with a diverse customer base, and we want to ensure that the people behind our product reflect that. We’re an equal opportunity employer, meaning you’re welcome at TravelPerk regardless of your appearance, where you’re from, or anything else that makes you.
