About the Company :

We're hiring on behalf of a consumer-first financial platform that powers smarter ways to save, spend, and earn - integrated directly into the apps people already use.

We've reimagined spending experiences for leading brands and fintechs, and now we're launching Travel as our next major growth vertical. We're looking for a passionate, entrepreneurial leader to own and build this business from the ground up.

The Role :

We're seeking a Head of Category - Travel to lead and scale our new Travel vertical.

This is a business, supply, and product hybrid role - ideal for someone who thrives in 0- 1 environments, builds strategic partnerships, and knows how to turn travel into a scalable consumer experience.

What You'll Do :

  • Own the end-to-end strategy, P&L, and growth of the Travel category.
  • Build and manage supply partnerships across OTAs, aggregators, and experience providers (e.g., MakeMyTrip, TBO Tek, Thrillophilia, Scapia, etc.).
  • Collaborate with Product and Tech to develop SDKs and APIs that embed travel experiences within consumer ecosystems (CRED, Scapia, banks, and others).
  • Drive adoption, monetization, and category performance using data-led insights.
  • Represent the company in the travel + fintech ecosystem, building visibility, partnerships, and thought leadership.

You'll Excel Here If You Have :

  • 6-10 years of experience in category management, partnerships, or growth within travel tech, fintech, or consumer platforms.
  • Proven track record of building and scaling a category or product line from 0- 1.
  • Strong understanding of travel ecosystems (holidays, experiences, B2B2C travel models).
  • Excellent stakeholder management, commercial acumen, and execution skills.
  • A bias for ownership, speed, and outcomes in fast-paced environments.
  • Bonus Points :

    Experience at MakeMyTrip, TBO Tek, Thrillophilia, Scapia, CRED, or similar consumer-tech / travel companies.

    Exposure to SDK / API integrations or partner-based consumer offerings.

    MBA or equivalent business education (preferred, not mandatory).

    Why Join Us :

    Build a high-growth business from inception with full ownership.

    Work directly with the founding team on category-defining initiatives.

    Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and performance-linked incentives.

    A fast-paced, collaborative, and innovative work culture where outcomes matter.
