Cross-border rail operator scaling operations and digital infrastructure
Eurostar operates high-frequency passenger rail service across five countries with 1,000–5,000 employees and is actively modernizing its operational backbone. The tech stack is lean—Google Search Console, SEMrush, Power BI, Salesforce—and hiring is weighted heavily toward operations (12 roles) and senior leadership, reflecting an organization focused on fleet maintenance, safety compliance, and real-time performance. Active projects reveal dual priorities: replacing legacy maintenance systems (GMAO replacement via Cosmos) and scaling digital marketing through SEO and AI, signaling a shift from pure transport operations toward passenger experience and revenue optimization.
Notable leadership hires: Operations Control Center Director, Head of Contracts
