Job description
A financial services vendor management firm is looking to hire a VP of Travel to join their team in NYC.
Role: VP of Travel
Compensation: $175,000 to $200,000 plus bonus
Work Model: 4 days in office in Manhattan, remote on Friday
The Role
As VP of Travel, you will act as the GM of a travel business line, owning full P&L responsibility, strategy, and execution. This is a hands‑on operating role where you'll manage day‑to‑day operations while building the technology and automation needed to scale.
You’ll oversee product development, client relationships, vendor strategy, team leadership, and revenue growth across a client base of leading investment firms.
What You’ll Do
Strategy & P&L Ownership
Own revenue, margins, and growth targets with direct CEO accountability
Define product strategy, pricing, differentiation, and automation roadmap
Identify new revenue opportunities and lead go‑to‑market efforts
Transition operations from manual to tech‑enabled delivery
Oversee end‑to‑end delivery of corporate travel programs
Build and optimize processes, service standards, and performance metrics
Team Leadership & Growth
Lead and develop a small team; foster a high‑performance culture
Support sales efforts and articulate the value proposition to prospects
Act as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders (e.g., CFOs, COOs)
Team & Resources
You’ll inherit a small team and leverage shared internal resources (engineering, client success, and operations). You’ll initially act as product manager‑defining requirements and working closely with engineering‑then hire a dedicated PM as the business scales. External operating advisors and domain experts are also available to support growth.
Who You Are
4‑8 years in consulting, private equity operations, strategy, or high‑growth roles (MBA preferred)
Strong ownership mindset with P&L accountability
Credible with senior stakeholders; strong communicator
Builder mentality—comfortable with ambiguity and execution‑heavy work
Passion for automation and leveraging technology to scale operations
Strong analytical and decision‑making skills
Why This Role
This role offers real ownership from day one: direct CEO exposure, autonomy, and the opportunity to build and scale a tech‑enabled business line. It provides early, hands‑on operating experience typically gained much later in a career.
