Job description

Commercial Representative (Business Development) – Travel & Creator Economy

Traverse | London (Hybrid)

Start your sales career in one of the most exciting industries — travel, content creation, and global events.

If you’re self-motivated, target-driven and eager to build relationships across the travel and creator economy, we’d love to hear from you.

About Traverse

Traverse is the UK’s largest network of travel content creators. We run innovative events that bring together destinations, travel brands, tourism boards, agencies and creators from around the world.

From London to Antigua, Taiwan, Greece, Bahrain and Georgia, our international events help destinations share their stories through the power of content and community.

The Role: Commercial Representative

As a key member of our small and collaborative team, you will be responsible for identifying new business opportunities and building relationships with prospective clients. You’ll use a mix of research, outreach, industry insight and communication skills to generate leads and secure introductory meetings.

This role is ideal for someone early in their sales career who is proactive, curious, and excited by the travel and creator landscape.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Identify, research and evaluate potential clients and partners
• Create tailored outreach sequences and high-quality email campaigns
• Write personalised outreach emails that reflect a genuine understanding of client needs
• Book and attend discovery meetings with prospective clients
• Source and contact potential sponsors for Traverse events
• Identify destinations and brands suitable for hosting conferences and international creator trips
• Attend UK and international events to network and build relationships
• Stay up-to-date with trends in the travel, creator and social media industries
• Maintain accurate CRM records including outreach activity, meeting notes and pipeline updates
• Meet monthly and quarterly outreach and meeting targets

About You

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Intelligent, thoughtful and motivated
• Confident communicating with brands, agencies and creators
• Comfortable attending events and meeting people in person
• Interested in travel, social media, creators or influencer marketing
• Able to work independently and take initiative
• Target-driven with a positive, growth-focused mindset

Previous sales experience is helpful but not essential — attitude and curiosity matter most.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: £28,000 + commission
• Working pattern: Part-time or full-time (3–5 days per week)
• Holiday: 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Hybrid working: Typically 1–2 days per week in our London office
• International travel to events and conferences
• Regular social events and opportunities to build a strong industry network
