About us
Loveholidays is on a mission to build the next generation of online travel agents. We let millions of customers search through over 36 billion offers that we curate and are constantly exploring new and innovative ways to create that perfect holiday-finding experience.In 2019 we were the fastest growing company in the UK, and since the beginning of 2022 we have been processing a booking every ~30 seconds.

About the team
At loveholidays, the Manage team is responsible for servicing the needs of customers after they have made a booking. We serve millions of customers monthly, ensuring they can find their information about their holiday or make amendments in just a few clicks. We work in highly-aligned, autonomous cross functional product teams and own the post-booking journey. We are always looking to push the boundaries of what we can do with technology to drive an incredible customer experience.
