Help shape a growing international travel business as it expands its UK presence.

This is a rare opportunity to join an established international Destination Management Company at a pivotal stage of its UK growth.

As the business continues to expand across international markets, they're looking to bring in a commercially minded Travel Operations & Procurement Executive who wants more than just a back-office role - someone who wants the chance to make the role their own, influence how suppliers are managed, and grow with the company long-term.

The role

• Negotiate competitive rates and availability with hotels, transport providers and venues
• Build and manage long-term supplier relationships across Europe
• Support the delivery of complex international travel programmes
• Work closely with sales and internal teams once client requirements are confirmed
• Contribute to operational and procurement processes as the UK team grows
• Play a key role in shaping how suppliers and partners are managed going forward

Who this suits

• Someone with experience in travel operations, procurement, hospitality, events or supplier negotiation
• A strong negotiator with commercial awareness and attention to detail
• Someone who wants ownership, responsibility and the opportunity to grow with the business
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment
• Interested in long-term progression rather than short-term contract roles

Why this opportunity stands out

• International company expanding its UK presence
• Genuine opportunity to shape the role as you grow with the business
• Exposure to multiple areas of travel and operations
• Long-term progression and development
• Stable, Hybrid role with a growing international network
