New Chief Executive Officer Bryan leads Skyscanner in its mission to become the world’s number one travel ally. He’s held senior international roles at Booking.com and Tesla. He was previously the Chief Operating Officer for Skyscanner, implementing the company’s long-term strategic vision across the company, which sees Skyscanner search 100 billion prices every day to help travellers plan and book their trip with ease and confidence. A passionate explorer, he loves nothing more than blending his travels with his love of food and cooking, especially when it means discovering a new dish to master
Every year, everyone at Skyscanner gets £300 to spend on travel. We call it our Discover Incentive and it's one of our most popular perks. Whether you go camel trekking in the Sahara like Camila Velásquez, see the natural wonders of Iceland like Jenna Mclelland, hike through the mountains of Uzbekistan like Amelia Fitzpatrick or take an adventure round Thailand like Sara Kovacheska - we want our team to see this wonderful world.
If creating a toxic atmosphere is what you're looking to do in your next role, you're not the right fit for Skyscanner. If doing your best work with a team of passionate tech pros with a healthy work-life balance is more your style, then the link for you is right here https://lnkd.in/ehsDFYy4
- “Entry level role - (must have 10 year’s experience)” - The interviewer saying: “We see ourselves as less of a business and more of a family.” - MASSIVE JOB DESCRIPTIONS WRITTEN ALL IN CAPS TO SHOW HOW FUN WE ARE!!! We're as fed up of all this as you are. And we want to make sure Skyscanner is never this. We want to be a place where our team feels valued, listened to and most importantly proud of the work we all do. Which is why we've launched our new Employee Value Proposition to cement who we are as a company. Are we perfect? Of course not. But we recognize that you shouldn't dread coming to work every day. And we want to make sure everyone who works here (even if they one day decide to head to pastures new) feels like they can be their authentic selves in an environment that helps them thrive. This is our Real Deal.
Not to say we won't ply you with free food in the office, but ensuring you feel valued and have a healthy work-life balance is much more important to the Skyscanner culture than throwing you a slice of pepperoni to make you work late.
