Who we are ¡Hola! We’re On the Beach. There’s over 500 of us, mostly at home, and sometimes in our office in Manchester. We send nearly two million people on holiday every year (not together) and we’re expecting to get to three million pretty sharpish. Why? Because we’re the only holiday company who truly gets why going on your holidays is the best week or two of the year. With our market-leading offers, scalable, flexible and innovative technology, strong customer-value proposition and low cost base, we’re challenging existing players and redefining how customers book, manage and experience their holidays. And it doesn’t stop there. With huge opportunities for growth, we’re on a long-term mission to become Europe’s biggest and most loved online retailer of beach holidays, so our story’s only really just begun… We're on the lookout for talented, beach-loving people to join us and contribute to the next chapter of our story. You will get to work on interesting projects and will be given the tools and autonomy to have the chance to make your impact on our growth plans.
