TRAVEL PRODUCT EXECUTIVE - EUROPE

▌ Do you?

Do you have solid experience in a product, contracting or reservations role within a DMC, bedbank or tour operator — and a genuine knowledge of the European market?

Do you thrive working autonomously, taking ownership of your brief and keeping London-based stakeholders informed before issues arise?

Are you the kind of person who builds warm, lasting relationships with hotel GMs and DMC contacts — and finds real satisfaction in keeping destination knowledge sharp and product data accurate?

Do you bring the attention to detail that luxury travel demands, and the confidence to manage supplier negotiations, fam trip logistics and product administration with equal care?

And importantly, are you ready to play a key in-region role for a quality-focused business — helping to shape a brand-new function from the ground up?
