Our mission is to make end to end travel experience faster, simpler and easier for our customers and to demonstrate ongoing value to decision-makers, travellers and bookers.

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

What's in it for you

• Exclusive Travel Discounts: As part of Flight Centre Travel Group, you gain access to exclusive industry rates and discounts through our in-house travel team.
• Career Development: With Flight Centre Travel Group’s global presence, spanning 30+ brands in over 20 countries, you’ll have clear career pathways and the resources you need to achieve your professional goals, including training and support.
• Vibrant Culture & Social Perks: Experience our fun, industry-renowned culture with exciting social events such as monthly awards nights, global conferences, end-of-financial-year balls, and more.
• Active Hour: Prioritise your well-being with an hour dedicated each week to focus on your fitness or personal wellness.
• Comprehensive Health Cash Plan: Get reimbursed for a variety of medical services, including dental, optical, and chiropractic care, with our bronze-level health cash plan.
• Health & Wellbeing Challenges: Stay engaged with monthly health and wellbeing challenges designed to keep you motivated and healthy.
• Financial Wellbeing Support: Access expert financial services, including mortgage advice, regulated financial guidance, and money coaching to help you manage your finances.
• And Much More: Enjoy a range of additional benefits, including company-matched charitable donations, an excellent pension scheme, share options, an electric vehicle scheme, and a variety of salary sacrifice benefits.
