Lead commercial projects

  • Plan, coordinate and report on projects across Revenue, Contact Centre, Trade and Fleet Scheduling
  • Bring cross-functional stakeholders together to keep delivery on time and on scope
  • Flag risks and blockers early, and keep the CRO across what’s in flight

Drive sales and lead the team

  • Lead, coach and develop the Sales & Project Team to hit their goals
  • Lift conversion across trade and direct channels through sharp quoting and follow-up
  • Grow corporate and group business, plus upsell and cross-sell revenue per booking
  • Work alongside Finance, Fleet, Marketing and Technology to get things done

What you’ll bring

  • 2+ years in project coordination, CRM/helpdesk platform administration, or commercial/sales operations
  • Hands-on experience administering Zendesk or a similar CRM/ticketing platform (workflows, triggers, integrations, reporting)
  • Strong project coordination and stakeholder management skills
  • A solid understanding of sales, contact centre and commercial processes
  • Great communication skills, comfortable bridging technical and commercial teams
  • A results-driven, curious mindset and good commercial judgement under pressure
  • A relevant qualification is a bonus

Perks For The Journey

  • Up to two days working from home.
  • 5 days free van hire to fuel your own adventures.
  • The opportunity to work across two iconic travel brands.
  • A role with real ownership and a direct line to the CRO
