Job description

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 are 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
