The Role
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, with its EMEA HQ in Paris, Way is the category-leading B2B technology platform empowering brands to unlock the power of experiences. In a world where 76% of consumers prefer spending on experiences over material goods, Way enables brands to adapt to this shift with cutting-edge technology.
Founded in 2020, Way began as a solution for hospitality brands to drive brand loyalty and generate experiential revenue at scale. Industry leaders like Hyatt Hotels, Hilton, Trailborn, and Auberge Resorts Collection rely on Way’s all-in-one experiential platform to launch unforgettable experiences — from hot air balloon rides in Mexico City to truffle hunting in the French countryside.
Way has achieved significant milestones, including a $20 million Series A funding round in late 2022, led by Tiger Global and MSD Capital (Michael Dell), at a $100M valuation. As the company continues its rapid growth, we’re seeking visionary, driven team players to join our dynamic environment, where challenges are met with unmatched rewards as we transform the hospitality and experiences industry globally.
