Job Description:

Are you a hands-on technology executive who understands the P&L but still has the burning desire to learn, develop and transform? Evolve one of the most successful booking management platforms in UK travel, with a significant development budget and the support of the world’s largest software company.

About the company

Traveltek has been one of the biggest success stories in the UK travel sector over the past five years. An established, loss-making company was transformed with heavy product investments and the transition to AWS as well as significant investments into customer service. This saw its profits grow exponentially and resulted in its purchase by Juniper Group (part of Constellation Software Inc., the world’s largest software company) in 2024. Since the acquisition, Traveltek has continued its growth by maintaining its autonomy while embracing the resources of an extensive network of software companies.

About the product

The core product is a search, book and administration tool widely used by travel agents and tour operators globally. It is well-recognised within the travel industry, having won multiple awards. Traveltek is investing significantly in the existing product components to make the platform more flexible and scalable. The strategic goal is to double revenues over the next five years, with product development and innovation at the heart of that growth.

  • Frontend: HTML, CSS, JS
  • Middleware: MySQL along with ProxySQL and Apache
  • OS: Linux Ubuntu 14 and Linux Ubuntu 22
  • All hosted on AWS

About the job

As Chief Product & Technology Officer (CPTO), you will own the vision, strategy, and execution of the product and technology roadmap. Ideally, you’ll come from an engineering background, where your own development achievements and knowledge will lead and inspire high-performing engineering and product teams. This will drive innovation and operational excellence in equal measure. A clear focus on delivery timelines is a key requisite. In addition, expertise and knowledge of the travel industry, and technology products in the domain, will be critical to the success of this role.

This position would be ideal for someone in a current CTO position who would be energised by the potential to tap into the ideas and innovation of hundreds of business units across the wider Juniper and Constellation Software Group.

It would also suit a CPO looking to expand into DevOps, Security and Compliance and have a greater say at executive level. However, we would also consider Chief Engineers with a track record of innovation who are currently maximising AI for development and productivity.

Why you should consider this opportunity

The CPTO role at Traveltek gives you the best of both worlds - the autonomy, agility and flexibility of a smaller operation with the backing of a $10 billion software provider. The company is passionate about product development coupled with financial performance. Subsequently, as the business grows, there will be more investment allocated for development.

The company has been transformed in the past five years and has fostered a close working culture of excellence and collaboration, with a score of 4.0 on Glassdoor.

The business operates a hybrid working model. Ideally, they are looking for someone who can travel to Glasgow and/or the greater Manchester area approximately two days a week. The salary is very competitive for this market, with a profit-related bonus, pension contributions and healthcare.

If you’re still hungry for growth, both in your personal development and leading a best-in-class technology team to the next level, click apply.
