About the role

A leading European inbound travel company is seeking a highly motivated and organised Operations Executive to join its London-based team. You''ll play a crucial role in converting qualified sales leads into confirmed group travel bookings across UK and Europe-handling everything from tailor-made leisure itineraries to complex corporate MICE arrangements.

This is a dynamic opportunity for someone passionate about delivering exceptional service and creating memorable travel experiences for global clients.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with key agent accounts worldwide, particularly in the USA, Canada, Australia, and Portugal.

  • Qualify new enquiries and manage them through the full sales-to-booking cycle.

  • Create and price bespoke European travel itineraries, including accommodation, transport, activities, and guides.

  • Research and negotiate supplier services to ensure competitive, profitable packages.

  • Manage bookings using a back-office system and ensure seamless pre-tour preparations.

  • Coordinate closely with suppliers and internal teams to deliver high-quality service.

  • Support tours during office hours and participate in a rotating emergency support rota.

  • Monitor competitor offerings and market trends to help shape innovative new products.

  • Maintain accurate documentation and ensure timely invoicing and supplier payments.

What We''re Looking For
We''re seeking someone with:

  • A sharp eye for detail and excellent organisational skills.

  • A collaborative, client-focused approach with strong communication abilities.

  • Experience in group travel operations, especially within Europe.

  • Familiarity with travel CRM systems and comfort working with technology (including AI tools).

  • The ability to multitask under pressure and manage changing priorities.

  • A solutions-driven mindset with a genuine passion for travel.

  • Ideally a second European language such as Portuguese or French.

You Might Have:

  • Experience working with leisure groups and/or MICE clients.

  • Knowledge of European travel products and destinations.

  • A history of meeting or exceeding sales conversion goals in a travel role.

Why Join?

  • A collaborative team environment within a growing international company.

  • Career progression opportunities and investment in your professional development.

  • The chance to play a key role in crafting once-in-a-lifetime experiences for travellers.

  • Hybrid working model with a strong team culture and flexible attitude.

Please note: This is not a standard 9 to 5 role-during peak seasons, you''ll need to go the extra mile. In return, you''ll be part of a supportive team that values dedication and rewards commitment.

Apply now online to this post to be part of a passionate and forward-thinking travel company making a difference in the global inbound tourism sector.
