Travel Operations & Procurement Executive

32,000 - 37,000 + Bonus + Commission + Company Benefits + International Travel + Hybrid / Flexible Working

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.

If you enjoy negotiation, supplier relationships, and seeing the direct impact of your work on a growing business, this is a role with genuine progression potential rather than a fixed, box-ticking position.

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
