We aim to become the world's most host-centric company, empowering hosts to realise their ambitions by unlocking the potential of accommodation, everywhere.

By joining us you will be working on a product that has the potential to really transform booking gains for our customers. We have an ambitious goal of winning the global market and we believe that our team can build a product our customers love and use, time and time again.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Customer Success Team Lead to head our new, unique Customer Success team. The ideal candidate will possess strong leadership skills, a deep understanding of customer success strategies, and the ability to drive team performance in a rapidly changing environment. As the Team Lead, you will be responsible for ensuring our customers receive maximum value from Travelnest by leading a team that supports driving the highest booking performance and achieving significant returns on their investment into their vacation rental properties.
