We are getting ready to launch and scale a stealth travel tech startup that uses machine learning to power personalised discovery, planning and booking of experiences and activities.

The company is currently in pre-launch and is expected to enter the market early-2020.  

 

We are looking for an experienced Head of People & Talent to join our team in Singapore. This is the perfect opportunity for an experienced recruiter who is looking to move 'in house' and gain experience within a busy, start-up environment, or an experienced internal recruiter who is able to support Venture leadership in managing the People & Talent function.
