HRS AS A COMPANY
HRS is transforming the future of corporate travel through innovative technology. In a $600 billion global lodging and meetings market, inefficiencies are rampant—from frustrating traveler experiences caused by outdated check-in and payment systems to millions lost annually due to missing or non-compliant invoices that block VAT reclaim. With travel increasingly complex and fragmented, the opportunity for innovation is enormous—and HRS is leading the charge.
HRS offers an unparalleled end-to-end solution for managing corporate lodging, group travel, long stay, and meetings—all within a single, unified platform. With HRS Connect, companies gain access to a sleek, consumer-grade booking interface that consolidates fragmented travel spend and delivers full visibility across all travel categories. This is paired with HRS’s proprietary AI Copilot, which enables travel and procurement leaders to steer their programs strategically with real-time data, actionable insights, and one-click implementation of optimizations.
Together, these solutions empower organizations to drive measurable cost savings, boost policy compliance, and radically improve the traveler experience. The HRS platform enables customers to achieve up to 3x return on investment, achieve 100% invoice compliance, and increase corporate program adoption by over 20%—particularly in unmanaged spend areas like meetings and groups.
With over two decades of proprietary data, market-leading AI, and deep integration across the travel and expense ecosystem, HRS powers travel programs for 35% of the Fortune 500. From seamless payment to VAT-compliant e-invoicing and real-time reconciliation with SAP Concur and other ERP platforms, HRS offers unmatched transparency, governance, and performance—turning travel into a data-driven advantage with a sharp focus on customer excellence, compliance, and automation.
BUSINESS UNIT
HRS' Product Management department is a critical function in driving the success of the company's Lodging-as-a-Service (LaaS), Meeting-as-a-Service (MaaS) and Workforce-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform offerings. The department collaborates with cross-functional teams to define the product vision, roadmap, and strategy, and prioritizes features using analytics and data to meet business goals and deliver an exceptional experience for stakeholders.
The teams in the Product Management department at HRS own the program backlog, define product increments and releases, and are responsible for the product vision, roadmap, pricing, licensing, and ROI. They have strong business and technical knowledge and excellent communication and prioritization skills.
The department operates based on HRS' leadership principles, putting the customer view first and striving for customer success over commercial success. They think and act big, challenging the status quo, and constantly leaving their comfort zones to achieve growth. As coaches, they hire the ones most likely to win and help develop team members to become the best through radical candid feedback.
Product Designers at HRS are learning pioneers, continually seeking to improve processes, products, commercial models, technologies, and ways of working. They take ownership of the entire customer experience, seeking truth and committing to decisions once they are made. To succeed in the role, candidates must possess strong business and technical know-how, prioritize tasks accurately, and have excellent communication skills. They must also have an up-to-date knowledge of the latest trends and technologies and be comfortable presenting their ideas to internal stakeholders.
