At TTC, we are Enriching lives by connecting people and places. For over 100 years, we have been bringing the world closer together by creating journeys that build lasting memories, friendships and meaningful cultural connections. Across more than 70 countries and our award-winning brands, our people make every journey possible.
This is your opportunity to help shape the digital products and technology experiences that support Trafalgar and Contiki, two of our leading global Touring brands.
THE ROLE
As Director of Product, you will set the product direction for Touring, with a focus on Trafalgar and Contiki. This is a global leadership role at the point where brand ambition, customer experience and technology come together. You will head up a team of Product domain experts and bring clarity to a broad portfolio spanning websites, booking journeys, customer portals, travel agent and contact centre experiences, and the platforms that connect them. Working closely with brand leaders, enterprise architecture and our engineering teams in Poland, you will build a more product-led organisation and turn complex priorities into a focused roadmap that delivers visible value.
