Trivago, the travel-metasearch platform headquartered in Germany, employs roughly 260 people worldwide. Recent staffing activity shows 22 hires against 29 departures, producing a slight net contraction in overall headcount. The figures suggest a measured approach to recruiting while the company continues to refine its operational footprint. Despite the modest change in size, Trivago maintains a diverse mix of technical, commercial, and corporate talent to support its marketplace.
Engineering and Marketing & Product are the two largest functions, each accounting for about a quarter of the total workforce (68 and 67 employees respectively). Information Technology follows with approximately 11 % of headcount, highlighting the infrastructure required to run a global search platform. Sales & Support, Finance & Administration, Operations, Human Resources, Business Management, and Program & Project Management collectively form the remaining third of employees, with no single group exceeding 10 %. This balanced departmental spread indicates attention to both product development and the commercial operations that bring travelers and advertisers to the site.
More than half of Trivago’s employees (146) are based in Düsseldorf, the company’s long-standing headquarters. Cologne is the next largest office with 19 employees, while Berlin, Essen, Hamburg, Bonn, London, the Greater Düsseldorf area, and Neuss each host small specialist teams. An additional 81 staff work remotely or in other unnamed locations, underscoring Trivago’s flexibility in supporting distributed talent alongside its primary German hub.
