Pre-Launch Opportunity
Next Booking is a UK-based creator-led travel platform currently at the pre-launch stage.
We are building a new platform that brings together travel, creators, content and curated travel experiences to create a new way for people to discover and book travel.
Our vision includes creating curated travel packages with our travel experts and producing original travel episodes with creators and influencers who experience and showcase those packages and destinations, supported by our production team.
As we prepare for launch, we are looking for an experienced commercial leader to join Next Booking as Founding Partner & Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).
This is not a traditional employment opportunity. We are looking for someone who wants to become a long-term partner in the business, join the founding team and take ownership of the commercial growth of Next Booking.
The Opportunity
The CCO will play a central role in developing Next Booking’s commercial strategy and building partnerships across travel, hospitality, technology and lifestyle. This may include relationships with:
- Airlines
- Hotels and hospitality groups
- Tourism boards
- eSIM and connectivity brands
- Fintech and payment companies
- Travel technology brands
- Travel insurance providers
- Lifestyle and consumer brands relevant to travel

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Relevant backgrounds may include: Chief Commercial Officer, Commercial Director, Partnerships Director, Sponsorship Director, Head of Brand Partnerships or Business Development Director.
An established network across brands, airlines, hotels, tourism organisations or travel-related companies would be a strong advantage.
The Right Person
We are looking for someone entrepreneurial, commercially driven and confident developing opportunities from the ground up. Someone who can think like an owner, open doors, build strong commercial relationships and help shape the future direction of the business.
Founding Partnership
This is a genuine Founding Partner opportunity, rather than a standard employee position. The partnership structure, responsibilities and equity participation will be discussed privately with shortlisted candidates, based on experience, contribution, commitment and long-term involvement.
If you have strong commercial experience and are interested in helping build a new creator-led travel business from an early stage, we would be very interested to hear from you.
