• Fully independent with over £2 billion annual purchasing power
• Anticipating significant growth in the travel sector over the next 2-3 years

Your Role:

This is not your typical BDM position; you won’t be directly selling travel. Instead, you’ll utilize your extensive travel industry background and adept coaching skills to foster success among a group of 60-80 independent Travel Consultants (TCs).

You will serve as a trusted advisor, empowering them to evolve not just as agents but as confident entrepreneurs equipped with the mindset and strategies for sustainable success.

• Serve as a source of motivation, business insight, and problem-solving assistance
• Cultivate a community of support and loyalty among your TC group
• Monitor performance metrics, identify areas for growth, and provide constructive, supportive feedback
• Conduct virtual workshops and contribute to the development of coaching programs
• Occasionally visit the Bournemouth HQ or participate in international training retreats

This fully remote role allows flexibility in managing your schedule while ensuring participation in daily meetings, one-on-ones, and team updates. You may need to offer support to Travel Consultants outside regular hours, so being comfortable with evening or weekend coaching sessions is essential.
