How you ll deploy your travel expertise:

This isn t a traditional sales or BDM role-you won t be selling travel directly. Instead, you ll use your broad travel industry experience and deep coaching skills to mentor, guide, and grow a portfolio of 60-80 independent Travel Consultants (TCs).

You ll act as a trusted advisor-helping them develop not just as agents, but as confident small business owners with the mindset, skills, and strategy to succeed long-term.

• Track performance metrics, identify gaps, and deliver actionable, empathetic feedback
• Deliver virtual workshops and contribute to shaping our coaching and development programmes
• Occasionally travel to Bournemouth HQ or take part in overseas training retreats

This is a fully remote role, based from home, with occasional visits to our Bournemouth HQ and the opportunity to join one of our overseas training retreats.

You will have the flexibility to manage your own diary, whilst ensuring attendance at daily morning meetings, one-to-ones, and regular team catch-ups.

As our Travel Consultants may need support outside standard office hours, you should be comfortable delivering webinars or coaching sessions during evenings or weekends as part of your working week.

About You:

We re looking for someone who s walked the walk-someone with both extensive travel industry experience and a strong track record in coaching or mentoring business owners.

You ll need:

• A solid background in the travel sector, ideally across multiple roles (e.g. sales, operations, agency management, or franchise support)
