About the company
At Nuitée, we are building the API backbone for the global travel industry. Founded in 2017, Nuitée is on a mission to transform a fragmented travel ecosystem with simple, scalable, and API-first infrastructure—think “Stripe for Travel.”
By enabling seamless connectivity between hotels, OTAs, fintechs, super-apps, and businesses, some of which are entering the travel market for the first time, Nuitée empowers companies to deliver reliable travel products effortlessly. Our robust platform simplifies complex supplier networks, offering direct access to hotel inventory with better pricing, coverage, and technology.
With teams across the globe, including hubs in London, New York, San Francisco, Palma de Mallorca and Casablanca, Nuitée has grown into a global infrastructure provider trusted by industry leaders like Hopper, Expedia, Priceline, Google, and Uber.
Now backed by leading VCs and world-class investors including leaders from Booking.com, Stripe, and Shopify, Nuitée is positioned to redefine the B2B travel market, streamline operations for hotels, and enable new applications through cutting-edge APIs.
Nuitée is at the forefront of a revolution—delivering AI-powered, smarter, and more personalized travel experiences for a new era.
About the role
Remote in EU, or hybrid in Barcelona, Palma, Dublin, or Casablanca.
Nuitée is hiring a Head of Data to lead the data function behind one of the most data-heavy products in travel.
The real difference in this role is that data sits on both sides of the business: the internal data that shapes company decisions, and the product-facing data that makes our travel platform work.
Every company needs reporting, dashboards, and business intelligence. At Nuitée, data also sits inside the product itself: hotel supply, pricing, trading, API usage, partner behaviour, and the logic behind buying low, selling high, and helping partners use travel data properly.
So this is not a classic Head of Data role where you inherit a mature BI function, polished reporting layers, and slow quarterly planning cycles.
You’ll inherit a data function with strong analysts and data scientists already doing important work across the business. The next step is to add the data engineering depth, operating cadence, and source-of-truth foundations that allow the function to scale with the company and connect more clearly to commercial impact.
A good way to think of it is: you turn data into a trusted operating layer for the company, and a stronger product layer for the platform.
What makes it interesting for you
- You do not need to convince the business that data matters. Commercial, Growth, and Revenue Operations already get it, and are ready to build the next version of the data function with you
-
You lead a data function that sits at the centre of both product and business decisions
-
You work on complex travel data where pricing, supply, API usage, and commercial outcomes are tightly connected
-
You build the data engineering foundations that make analytics and data science more trusted, scalable, and useful
-
You shape how analysts, data scientists, and data engineers prioritise work and create measurable business impact
-
You join early enough to define how data works at Nuitée long term
This is a high-tempo, high-ownership role with high expectations. That’s why we offer a meaningful equity package, not just a salary. Nuitée was already profitable before raising a $48M Series A led by Accel, and has grown 10x since 2022. If you help build and shape the next phase of Nuitée, we want you to share meaningfully in the value you create.
The kind of problems you’ll work on
-
How do we create a trusted source of truth when product, supply, pricing, commercial, and operations teams all depend on complex travel data?
-
How do we turn messy hotel, chain, supply, pricing, and API usage data into something teams can confidently use to make better decisions?
-
How do we decide which data problems need to be near-perfect, and which ones should move quickly as a good-enough first version?
-
How do we make analytics, data science, and experimentation more connected to product quality, commercial outcomes, and revenue growth?
This role fits someone who
-
has operated at Head of Data, Director, Senior Director, or VP level in a data-heavy product business
-
has strong technical credibility across data engineering, analytics, and data science
-
has led mixed data teams, including analysts, data scientists, and data engineers
-
has built or scaled a data function in a product, platform, API, marketplace, fintech, travel, trading, or similarly data-heavy business
-
knows how to build trusted data foundations, from pipelines and data quality to modelling, source-of-truth systems, and modern cloud data platforms like BigQuery
-
can clearly connect data work to commercial outcomes, product decisions, customer value, pricing, margin, supply quality, or operational performance
-
brings strong operating discipline while still moving at startup pace: priorities, ownership, reporting, delivery cadence, accountability, and pragmatic tradeoffs
Nuitée is fast-moving, low on process, and high on ownership. That suits people who like pace, responsibility, technical complexity, and building structure without slowing things down. It is less suited to people who want a mature corporate data organisation, large support teams, slow planning cycles, or a strategy-only leadership role.
If that resonates, we’d love to hear from you. You can apply with your LinkedIn profile or CV. The process is straightforward and typically takes 2 to 3 weeks.
