About Engine
At Engine, we’re transforming business travel into something personalized, rewarding, and simple. For too long, managing travel and spend has been overwhelming and fragmented — we’re here to change that. We believe the future of travel should be seamless and powered by technology that delights customers at every step. That’s why we’re building a platform that brings together corporate travel, a powerful charge card, and modern spend management in one place.
To make this vision real, we’re looking for exceptional, mission-driven people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel.
More than 17,000 companies already rely on Engine to support over 1 million travelers and billions in annual bookings each year. Cash flow positive with rapid growth, we pair exclusive Engine-only rates, industry-leading rewards, and intelligent automation to help businesses save money while delivering world-class personalization and convenience.
Backed by Telescope Partners, Blackstone, and Permira, Engine has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing travel and fintech platforms in North America, with honors including the Deloitte Fast 500 and Built In’s Best Places to Work.
Your Mission
As Sr. Director, Business Operations (Supply), you’ll be the operating force behind our EVP of Supply and Strategy providing executive leverage, building the systems that make Supply run, and ensuring the marketplace grows with discipline and scale.
You’ll own business operations for Supply end-to-end: architecting the operating model, running the business rhythm, creating visibility through metrics, and driving cross-functional execution. You’ll also lead foundational operational functions: supply systems, ARI (availability, rates, inventory), partner integrations, and production support while incubating new initiatives that expand our supply-side marketplace.
This is a role for a strategic operator: part chief of staff, part builder, part business architect — and part senior leader shaping the future of the Supply organization.
