Platinum Travel Recruitment are proud to be partnering with one of the most successful, forward-thinking *luxury travel agents in the South* to find an experienced Travel & Operations Consultant.
If you’re currently with a tour operator or travel agency, have a real passion for travel, and want genuine career growth, support, and great earning potential – this is for you. Especially perfect if you’ve been working remotely and are craving that team buzz and client interaction again.
This isn’t your average high-street role. This is your chance to do both: craft the dream AND make it happen.
One minute you’ll be designing an incredible tailor-made journey - from the Canadian Rockies to the temples of Bhutan. The next, you’ll be bringing it to life, ensuring every detail is perfect for your client.
If you love that feeling of ownership from first hello to happy return, this is for you. Perfect for someone from a tour operator or travel agency who is super organised, loves the operational puzzle, and wants a role with real variety and career growth.
This is not sell it and forget it. You get the best of both worlds:
• The thrill of the sale AND the satisfaction of delivery. You build the relationship and see the journey through.
• No two days are the same. You’ll never be bored - mixing client inspiration, creative itinerary building, and detailed operations.
• Be the expert, end-to-end. You are the trusted person for your clients, managing their entire journey. That’s incredibly rewarding.
• Use your brain. If you love logistics, problem-solving, and making everything fit perfectly, you’ll love the ops side.
