Job description
Want to work with an award-winning and quickly expanding company? We’re a travel site making it a doddle to book camping, glamping and caravan sites all over the world, with over 6,000 to choose from.Pitchup.com receives 33m annual visits and up to 7,500 bookings per day – so far we’ve booked over £400m worth of holidays, helping more than 14m holidaymakers make their great escape.Over the last year we’ve launched new desktop and mobile websites with an updated look and feel, led a successful campaign to change the law to open more campsites in the UK, and adapted our search to give disabled travellers the information they need. And – with a fifth of our business coming from outside the UK already – we’re just getting going.You’ll join a nimble team of 70 based in 10 countries: we’re a 100%-remote business so we all work from home, getting together from time to time when we can.
