About the Position
We’re looking for an organized, thoughtful, and collaborative individual to drive strategy and execution of a high-touch, employee-focused global travel program.
Leveraging your depth of experience, creative problem solving, and critical thinking, you’ll generate a plan to scale and manage our dynamic travel operation. You will also be responsible for developing and managing financial planning and reporting to optimize our efforts.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter with a service-minded approach who can manage projects from idea to execution. We’ll rely on your comprehensive understanding of the travel industry ecosystem (travel agency operations, online booking tools, reporting capabilities, and travel technologies) to develop steps forward and mentor our travel team. You should be current with industry trends to identify new travel disruptors and opportunities for the travel program.
Our Travel team sits within our Workplace Services team, which is driven by a passion for hospitality. We interact regularly with nearly every department and are on a first-name basis with most of the firm. We encourage travel between offices to foster the exchange of ideas and work hard to create an office environment where employees feel happy, engaged, and supported.

What We Do
Jane Street works differently. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we trade on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries and help form the backbone of global markets. Our approach is rooted in technology and rigorous quantitative analysis, but our success is driven by our people.
Our bright, beautiful offices in the heart of New York, London, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam are open and buzzing with conversation. We come from many backgrounds and encourage travel between offices to share perspectives. Some of our best ideas come from bumping into a visiting colleague at the office coffee bar.
Markets move fast. Staying competitive as we’ve grown has required constant invention—of new trading strategies, technology, and processes. We’ve found this is easier when you hire humble, kind people. They tend to help each other, and prioritize teamwork over titles.
We invest heavily in teaching and training. There’s a library and a classroom in every office, because deepening your understanding of something is considered real work. Guest lectures, classes, and conferences round out the intellectual exchanges that happen every day.
People grow into long careers at Jane Street because there are always new and interesting problems to solve, systems to build, and theories to test. More than twenty years after our founding, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
