Location: London (Hybrid Working – 2 Days in Office)
A high-growth TravelTech platform, recently acquired by a global travel group, is entering a new phase of investment and innovation. With a well-established customer base, strong international presence, and significant backing, the company is now looking for a Paid Media Lead to take ownership of customer acquisition across global markets.
The Company
