Project Manager

About TripBooka.com

TripBooka.com is developing a platform designed to empower independent travel advisors to compete with major travel companies. Traditionally, these advisors have depended on word of mouth, social media, and various disconnected tools, while large online travel firms have dominated through advanced technology and marketing investment. We believe travelers deserve broader options, superior service, and vacations tailored by genuine experts who truly care about their clients.
Our platform integrates marketplace technology, workflow automation, and AI to assist independent advisors in attracting new customers, managing bookings, nurturing lasting relationships, and growing their businesses—all consolidated in a single solution.
As an early-stage startup, we are at the beginning of our growth journey, making this an exciting chance to join and contribute to shaping the future of independent travel.

Role Overview

We seek our inaugural full-time Project Manager to join TripBooka. This unique opportunity offers a chance to define the project delivery framework as we expand. You will collaborate closely with the founders and coordinate efforts across Product, Engineering, Design, Customer Success teams, and external contractors to ensure projects are executed on schedule, within scope, and aligned with company strategy.
Your responsibilities will include planning, coordinating, and driving timely delivery of product and platform initiatives. You will establish project requirements, create roadmaps, manage schedules, resolve obstacles, and align stakeholders, playing a vital part in TripBooka's swift and effective execution.
Success in this role emphasizes clarity, maintaining momentum, and enabling teams to deliver exceptional results rather than introducing superfluous processes.
This is a full-time remote role for candidates based in the UK. While primarily remote, occasional visits to Newcastle upon Tyne for planning and team meetings are desired.

Responsibilities

• Plan, coordinate, and oversee projects from start to finish.
• Define project scope, timelines, milestones, and deliverables.
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Design, Customer Success, and contractors.
• Track project progress, identify risks, and eliminate blockers proactively.
• Keep projects aligned with schedule, scope, and business priorities.
• Facilitate planning sessions, sprint ceremonies, and meetings as needed.
• Communicate updates clearly and maintain precise documentation.
• Identify and implement process improvements to enhance collaboration and efficiency.
• Develop scalable project management practices to support company growth.

Qualifications

We value strong organizational and communication abilities and a track record of successful project delivery more than specific certifications or industry experience.
You likely possess:

• Robust project management capabilities including planning, prioritizing, and coordinating stakeholders.
• Excellent organizational skills and the ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously.
• Effective communication skills working with both technical and non-technical teams.
• Talent for identifying risks, solving problems, and ensuring project momentum.
• Experience managing cross-functional projects or initiatives.
• Self-motivation and accountability suited to remote work environments.

Additional desirable experience includes:

• Familiarity with Agile, Scrum, Kanban, PRINCE2 or related methodologies.
• Usage of project management software like Jira, Trello, Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp, or similar.
• Work in software development, technology projects, SaaS, marketplaces, startups, or the travel sector.

While a degree in Business, Project Management, Operations, or related fields and professional certifications (PRINCE2, PMP, AgilePM, Scrum) are beneficial, they are not mandatory.
We encourage applications from candidates who possess strong organizational skills, a proactive approach, and a successful delivery record, even if not all qualifications are met.

Why Join Us?

• Be the first permanent Project Manager at TripBooka, influencing project delivery amid growth.
• Collaborate closely with founders, shaping company planning and prioritization.
• Lead impactful projects directly affecting customers and business expansion.
• Work alongside cross-functional teams and experienced contractors.
• Contribute to establishing operational foundations for a fast-growing tech startup.
