About us
We are champions of rail, inspired to build a greener, more sustainable future of travel. Trainline enables millions of travellers to find and book the best value tickets across carriers, fares, and journey options through our highly rated mobile app, website, and B2B partner channels.
Great journeys start with Trainline 🚄
Now Europe’s number 1 downloaded rail app, with over 135 million monthly visits and £6.3 billion in annual ticket sales, we collaborate with 270+ rail and coach companies in over 40 countries. We want to create a world where travel is as simple, seamless, eco-friendly and affordable as it should be.
Today, we're a FTSE 250 company driven by our incredible team of over 1,000 Trainliners from 50+ nationalities, based across London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Edinburgh and Madrid. With our focus on growth in the UK and Europe, now is the perfect time to join us on this high-speed journey.
Introducing the Trainline People Team 👋
The People team is at the heart of how Trainline supports and grows its team of over 1,000 Trainliners across the business. We're focused on building an environment where people feel informed, connected and set up to do their best work, and this role sits within Employee Experience, a small team driving some of the most visible improvements to how Trainline operates day to day.
This is a fixed term role created to lead two flagship priorities: a full refresh of our internal comms channels and the discovery and launch of a new company intranet. You'll inherit existing insights on both projects and move quickly into delivery, while also providing hands-on support for business-as-usual comms during a busy period. You'll work closely with the existing Employee Experience Partner and Associate, and build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across People, Technology and leadership.
