Freelance Travel Business Growth Manager – UK Travel Agency

We are a UK-based travel company looking for an experienced freelance Travel Business Growth Manager to help us grow the business and increase enquiries and bookings.

We already have the business infrastructure in place, including ATOL protection, TTA membership, a website, travel suppliers and a range of holiday products. However, we are looking for someone with strong experience in the travel industry who can review our current approach, identify what is not working and help us develop and implement a clear strategy for growth.

The role will include reviewing our current products, pricing, website, marketing and sales process, identifying the best products and markets to focus on, overseeing our advertising strategy, improving lead generation and conversion, and helping develop the business commercially.

We are particularly looking for someone who has:

• Previous experience working with or managing a UK travel agency or tour operator
• A strong understanding of travel sales, marketing and business development
• Experience generating and converting travel enquiries into bookings
• Knowledge of package holidays, suppliers and the UK travel industry
• An understanding of Google Ads and Meta Ads and how to assess their performance
• Experience developing and marketing group tours or tailor-made holidays

Experience with TTA (The Travel Trust Association) would be highly desirable.

Experience within Umrah travel, Muslim-friendly holidays, Islamic tours or group travel would also be a significant advantage.

This is not simply a marketing or social media role. We are looking for someone who can look at the business as a whole, identify opportunities and problems, and actively work with us to increase sales and build a sustainable travel business.

We would initially like to work with someone on a freelance/part-time basis, with the possibility of developing this into a longer-term working relationship if successful.

When applying, please explain your previous experience within the travel industry, businesses you have helped grow, and any experience you have with TTA, ATOL, Umrah or group travel.
