Takyon ManifestoThe idea of “non-refundable” reservations? Outdated. At Takyon, we’ve turned that concept on its head. We’ve transformed bookings into digital assets. When you book a stay, you don’t just reserve a room. You own the reservation. You control it. You can use it, or resell it - it’s yours, with the same freedom you have when you buy a car or an iPhone. But we’re not stopping here.The travel industry is dominated by OTAs that impose high fees and restrictive rules, draining margins from businesses and limiting benefits for travelers. Accommodation providers lose control, while travelers are denied the best deals. There’s a better way: direct booking. But why isn’t it the norm? Because the system is fragmented. Businesses operate in silos, disconnected from each other by outdated tools, systems, and marketing strategies. They can’t compete with the seamless user experiences and global reach of centralized platforms.Takyon is here to change that. We’re not building another platform. We’re creating the technology that form the foundation of a new unified ecosystem for direct bookings, one that didn’t exist before. A system where service providers and users are directly connected, eliminating middlemen and making direct booking more than just possible - they’re inevitable. Let’s make this clear: we are the technology that powers the ecosystem without owning or being the ecosystem itself.And this is only the beginning. While hospitality is our first step, we’re already looking beyond, reimagining industries plagued by fragmentation - we’re building a new way for the world to connect directly, with full transparency, efficiency, and freedom.This isn’t just the future of bookings. This is the future of how people and businesses will connect - freely, transparently, and without the distortions of middlemen.This is Takyonic!What are we looking forWe’re looking for a driven and ambitious Business Development Manager to take the lead on our B2B commercial operations.This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys working across the entire sales funnel - from prospecting to closing to long-term account management - and is excited by the opportunity to have a tangible impact from day one.You’ll be responsible for driving hotel acquisition, developing partnerships, and ensuring existing clients extract maximum value from our solution.
