HRS AS A COMPANY

HRS is reinventing the way businesses and governments work, stay and pay in today's dynamic global marketplace. HRS' advanced platform technology is extending its reach beyond hospitality to meetings, office space management, payment efficiency and crisis recovery. Beyond cost savings in the global post-pandemic economy, HRS clients gain from an unrivalled focus on essential aspects including safety, security and satisfaction. HRS is also recognized for its award-winning and TravelTech industry-first ISO certified Green Stay Initiative, an in-house proprietary technology that helps corporate hotel programs with high coverage of Green Stay certified properties and capabilities like abatement effects to help organizations achieve their NetZero targets.

HRS works with more than 1.5 million hotels including global and regional chains and independent hotels across the globe to help a third of global Fortune 500 companies with end-to-end corporate lodging and meetings offerings in our two AI-powered state-of-art market facing solutions - Connect and Copilot.

BUSINESS UNIT

Corporate customers and companies today demand transparency on sustainability and environmental impact of each hotel stay - from carbon emissions to certifications and waste management standards. With regulations like CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and EU Taxonomy requiring detailed emissions reporting, Travel CEOs are under pressure to deliver measurable sustainability outcomes while managing costs and operational complexity.

The market is becoming saturated with basic carbon calculators and generic reporting tools. However, what corporations, many of which have net zero commitments made, truly need are vetted and actionable insights that help them minimize environmental impact while optimizing for business value. This is where HRS stands apart - our Green Stay Initiative has proven to be level-playing field for independent hotels and small-and-medium size hotel chains ensuring most sustainable hotels also deliver cost savings, and other way around. In short, we strive towards positioning HRS as the only end-to-end procure-to-pay solution in the blue-ocean Lodging & Meetings space by expanding Green Stay into a full Sustainable Stay platform with ESG-aligned insights, carbon reporting, and gamified engagement driving corporates toward net-zero goals.

POSITION

As Product Manager - Sustainability, you'll own how HRS collects, structures, and exposes sustainability-related content from our global hotel network. Your mission is to evolve our Green Stay Initiative into the comprehensive Sustainable Stay Initiative - expanding beyond environmental metrics to include Social and Governance (ESG) and Emissions Compensation Program (ECP) as a core strategic edge for us. You'll build the data infrastructure that enables Fortune 500 companies to not just report on emissions, but to actively reduce them through intelligent procurement and book-stay decisions.

This role sits at the intersection of sustainability and corporate travel innovation - perfect for a product leader ready to tackle one of the most pressing challenges facing global businesses today.
