An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a growing Travel Management Company specialising in travel for clients across the music and entertainment industry.

I'm looking for an experienced Touring travel specialist, Senior Business Travel Consultant, Business Travel Consultant or Corporate Travel Consultant or groups flights specialist, who has experience managing travel for production, entertainment or music touring clients. You'll work on dedicated accounts, arranging complex worldwide travel and building strong relationships with your clients.

Additional information

• Working between 8.30am and 6.30pm on a small shift pattern:
• Flexibility is essential, as shifts can sometimes overrun depending on what is happening with clients and tours. You'll need to be comfortable doing what is required to get the job done rather than simply finishing when your scheduled shift ends.
• Up to £34,000 salary, with up to £38,000 available for candidates with relevant music touring experience
