Corporate Traveller focuses specifically on business travel, offering specialised services to help small to medium sized companies manage their corporate travel needs. With innovative tools and personalised support, we strive to make business travel easier, faster, and hassle-free.

About the role

As a Business Development Manager at Corporate Traveller, you’ll own the full business development cycle, from identifying new prospects to presenting our solutions and securing long-term client partnerships. Your goal is to grow our client portfolio by helping businesses improve the way they manage travel.

Your key responsibilities will include:

Proactively identifying and engaging new clients
Seek out new business opportunities through networking, referrals, and lead generation. Build strong relationships with key decision-makers and maintain consistent contact to position Corporate Traveller as a trusted, long-term partner.

Understanding client needs and delivering consultative solutions
Take a consultative, solution-selling approach to uncover prospects’ travel challenges, booking behaviours, and business objectives. Present Corporate Traveller’s technology, service offering, and expert support in a way that clearly demonstrates value, helping clients save time, reduce costs, and improve their travel experience.

Presenting and closing new business
Run engaging sales presentations, confidently demonstrate our online booking tools, negotiate effectively, and guide prospects through the decision-making process to secure new partnerships.

Supporting onboarding and handover
Ensure a smooth transition for new clients by overseeing onboarding and introducing them to their travel team, setting them up for long-term success from day one.

Building your pipeline and market presence
Develop strong referral networks and grow your pipeline through proactive outreach, networking, and relationship management activities.

Maintaining strong commercial discipline
Manage your CRM, complete follow-ups and administration, and work toward sales targets, KPIs, and turnover goals set by your manager.

What we’re looking for

3–5+ years’ experience in a Business Development Manager role focused on B2B sales
Proven ability to work in a consultative / solution-selling environment
A self-motivated, target-driven individual who thrives in a sales environment and enjoys achieving KPIs
Strong relationship-building, negotiation, and influencing skills
Excellent communication and presentation abilities, including confidence in client meetings and demonstrations
Commercial awareness and a strong understanding of sales performance metrics
A proactive, positive attitude with the ability to work autonomously and show initiative

Extra points if you:

Are confident with networking and self-generated lead generation
Have experience managing full sales cycles from prospecting to close
Enjoy building long-term client partnerships rather than transactional sales
