Global HR Business Partner - HQ (all genders)

About HRS

HRS, the pioneer in business travel, aims to elevate every stay through innovative technology. With over 50 years of experience we reinvent how companies and travelers Stay, Work, and Pay.

HRS is a leading company in the lodging and meeting management market, which is sizable and growing rapidly. It is still underserved by technology players, and that’s where HRS comes in. We challenge legacy structures and cut through complexity. Our platform applications seamlessly plug into any of our customer’s tech stacks and are powered by an AI‑enabled platform that turns fragmented data from the entire ecosystem into enriched level 3 data. Built on proprietary language models, our technology delivers real‑time actionable insights and automation that works. The result: a competitive edge our customers won’t want to miss – cost savings, higher traveller satisfaction and increased compliance.

Our business model is equally compelling. Strong customer lock‑in and a SaaS model with recurring revenues and high margins drive a long‑term growth pathway and high profitability. At HRS, we make business life better by reinventing how companies work and stay. Since 1972, HRS’s exponential growth serves over 35% of the global Fortune 500 and leading hotel chains.
