Making Marketing Work for Travel Consultants

About You

We're looking for an experienced marketing operations professional who knows how to turn ambitious plans into organised, measurable delivery.

You'll bring:

• Proven experience leading marketing operations, integrated marketing delivery or multidisciplinary marketing teams.
• Strong project management, workflow planning and resource allocation skills.
• Experience managing people, budgets, suppliers and operational reporting.
• A practical understanding of campaigns, communications, brand and creative production.
• Confidence in managing stakeholders, setting expectations and constructively challenging priorities.
• The ability to balance business-as-usual activity with reactive requests and strategic projects.
• Experience using AI and automation tools to improve workflows and reduce repetitive tasks.
• Strong commercial awareness, organisational skills and a focus on measurable outcomes.
• Experience in the travel industry or a recognised project management qualification would be advantageous, but neither is essential.

The Person We're Looking For

You're the person who brings clarity when everything feels urgent.

You can see the bigger picture without losing sight of the detail. You know when to push, when to challenge and when to help a team find a better way forward.

You're collaborative, commercially aware and confident leading specialists without needing to be the expert in every discipline.

Most importantly, you take ownership. When something needs doing, you make sure it happens.

Why Not Just Travel?

You'll play a central role in helping our Marketing & Communications function operate at its best, with genuine influence over how work is planned, delivered and improved.

You'll work with talented specialists, support a community of Travel Consultants and help turn marketing strategy into meaningful business results.

If you're ready to bring structure, energy and commercial thinking to a busy marketing function, we'd love to hear from you.
