Since our founding in 2009, Ticketer has grown to become the UK's leading provider of real-time information, data analytics and ticketing solutions for the bus and coach industry. Today, we work with some of the UK's largest transport operators, including Arriva, Go-Ahead Group and National Express, as well as the majority of local authorities and commercial bus and coach operators across the country.
If you've travelled by bus outside London, there's a good chance Ticketer was powering your journey—from the ticket machine onboard to the software and data services working behind the scenes to keep services running smoothly.
As we continue our growth journey, we're looking for an ambitious and commercially focused Head of Marketing to lead our marketing function and play a key role in driving business growth, brand awareness and customer engagement.
