ABOUT GORDIAN
Gordian is building the operating system for the airline industry and taking the friction out of travel. We started on an unsolved problem: empower travel sites to upsell seat selection, baggage and other upgrades. We’ve signed huge customers like Priceline, Hopper and Trip.com to our unique API.
Our traction speaks for itself. With forty people, we have annualized revenue of over $13m, backing from investors including Y Combinator, the ex-CEO of Skyscanner and the founders of Plaid, and our rapid growth is accelerating.
We move fast, have a high impact culture, and work in a great hybrid-remote environment. Get to know our culture and values here. Join our team to create the future of air travel.
MISSION

The Head of People will understand the importance and power of a strong culture and bring us even more in line with our ideals. Similarly, we want to take our high performing team to the next level (there is always a higher bar).

You’ll be part of a fast-moving, extremely focused leadership team that values impact and achieving results, and knows that success is always driven by people.

HYBRID REMOTE ENVIRONMENT
We have a system for hybrid work called 7+1. Read about it here. Our remote teammates travel to Bellevue, WA for a full week once every two months and we generally work US ET to PT working hours. We think it combines the best of remote and in person environments and it requires everyone not working from Bellevue to travel 6x per year.
