Full time | Stockbridge, Edinburgh | Office based | £40k+ OTE
How about a new challenge just in time for Peaks?
The first few months of the year are the busiest in travel, and for many of us, they’re also the most rewarding.
If you’d like a new challenge for 2027 with a team that takes real care over every holiday it creates, we would love to hear from you.
Who we are
Rock My World is an award-winning independent travel company based in Edinburgh. We started in 2017 because we believed holidays should be built around the people taking them, and our mission has been to work with our clients to give them the best possible experience from our first call to when they return home. Since our inception, more than 11,000 people have travelled with us.
Much of our business comes from clients who return and from the friends and family they recommend us to, and we’re proud to have hundreds of five-star reviews.
You’ll be based at our recently opened new ‘shoffice’ on St Vincent Street in Stockbridge, Edinburgh, which is part office for the team and a space where clients can come in and talk to us face to face about their plans.
The role
As a Senior Travel Consultant, you’ll look after your own clients from the first conversation through to booking. You’ll take the time to understand how they like to travel, what matters to them and what they hope this trip will be. You’ll then draw on your own knowledge and our network of trusted partners to create the trip that’s right for them.
You’ll work across a wide range of travel, including:
- Luxury and experiential holidays
- Couples, honeymoons, and special occasions
- Family holidays
- Long-haul and short-haul tailor‑made itineraries
- Luxury Ocean, river, yacht, and expedition cruise
Some enquiries will be straightforward, and others will involve several destinations, complex flights, private touring, or a cruise. We see that variety as one of the best parts of the job.
Over time, you’ll build long‑term relationships with your clients. The better you know someone, the better the recommendations you can make for their next trip.
A sales role, built on relationships
This is a sales role, and you’ll have targets for converting enquiries and growing repeat business. We don’t believe great travel sales come from pressure or scripts, though. It comes from asking good questions, listening carefully, knowing your product, and making recommendations people can trust. We’re looking for someone who takes satisfaction in converting a booking while always keeping the client’s best interests at heart.
What you’ll bring
Travel industry sales experience is essential, as we’re looking for someone who can settle in quickly ahead of our busiest season. You’ll ideally have:
- A proven track record in leisure travel sales
- Confidence managing and converting your own enquiries
- Strong destination and product knowledge across several areas of travel
- Are comfortable with Short & Long Haul enquires
- The ability to qualify an enquiry and work with a range of budgets
- Good commercial awareness and a positive approach to targets
- Excellent organisation and attention to detail
- Clear, natural communication by phone, email, WhatsApp and in person
- Confidence with technology and learning new systems
- A calm, resourceful approach when plans change
Most of all, we’re looking for someone who cares about doing a great job for every client and takes personal responsibility for getting the details right.
Why you’ll enjoy working with us
We’re a small, close team, so everyone’s contribution matters. There are no layers of management, ideas are shared openly, and you’ll have a real say in how we work and grow.
You’ll probably feel at home here if you’re curious about the world, enjoy getting to know people and prefer finding solutions to the everyday travel adventures we’re all too familiar with.
Where you’ll work
This role is mainly based at our HQ in Stockbridge, Edinburgh, with some flexibility to work from home. We value being together as a team, as so much of what we know about destinations and clients is shared day to day in conversation.
What we offer
- £40k+ OTE, combining a competitive base salary with uncapped commission
- 37.5 hour working week with Saturdays on rota
- Travel at industry rates for you and your family
- Fam trips and supplier experiences to develop your product knowledge
- Ongoing training and development
- Access to some of the world’s leading hotels, cruise lines and destination specialists
- Modern systems designed to reduce admin and give you more time with clients
- A genuine voice in a growing independent business
Since 2017 we’ve built a loyal client base and a reputation we care about deeply. Our next stage is about growing the business, team and the technology that supports it, while keeping the personal service that has brought us this far. You’ll be able to build your own client relationships, develop your expertise and help shape what Rock My World becomes next.
