Job Description

We’re looking for a Chief Technology Officer to join our team and take our MVP to market. Be part of an exciting travel startup that is backed by the former UK Managing Director of Thomas Cook.

THE COMPANY

Our value proposition is simple: “Enriching family holidays, tried and tested by like-minded mums”. We’re the first travel company in the world that is focussed on mums: the decision-maker in the family when it comes to family holidays. We’re targeting the 8 million UK mums to form a unique and defensible community dedicated to family travel. TimeAway is a marketplace where SuperMums sell family holidays based on their own experiences amongst their networks. Since the dot com boom there has been an incredible amount of innovation in travel, but the family market has been largely ignored. It’s time to shake things up.

THE ROLE

We’re passionate about the educational benefits of travel and want to disrupt the stagnant family travel market. We’re looking for a travel-loving Chief Technology Officer to join our team and provide technical leadership for our venture. Our small team means that you’ll be given a large amount of responsibility from day 1 and so we’re looking for someone with drive, tenacity and patience. You’ll need to have a deep understanding of both the technical issues of scaling a business as well as experience growing and mentoring a team. Be prepared to get your hands dirty in the detail, but also think strategically to drive our vision forward. We’d especially like to meet people who have prior experience or an interest in travel technology.
