Description
At Intrepid Travel we exist to inspire, create, share and lead the best travel experiences ever. More than 35 years later, we’re proud to be a certified B Corp with hundreds of trips in over 100 countries.

The world needs more Intrepid people:

Are you a natural relationship builder with a passion for the travel industry? We’re looking for a Senior Partnerships Manager to help grow and nurture our trade partnerships across the UK.

As our Senior Partnerships Manager (North), you’ll play a pivotal role in strengthening Intrepid’s presence in the UK market. Reporting to our Head of Trade Partnerships, you’ll take ownership of building and delivering a regional strategy that drives sales, brand awareness and stronger collaboration with our valued trade partners.

What you need to know:

Day to day, you’ll manage key accounts, develop commercial opportunities, negotiate contracts and identify new ways we can grow together. You’ll oversee the strategy for agent training and events, ensuring our partners have the knowledge and tools they need to succeed. You’ll also have line management responsibility for our Partnership Managers, supporting their development and helping to foster a positive team culture.

You’ll be the main point of contact for some of our biggest partners — so strong communication, creative problem-solving and commercial confidence are all key. You’ll help shape the future of some of our most established partnerships and represent Intrepid’s purpose-led brand with integrity and energy — while working mostly independently in your region. You’ll also join the wider team occasionally at our Brixton office for meetings and company events.

This is a full-time, permanent role based in the North of the UK, with regular travel across your region to meet partners and attend industry events, plus occasional visits to our Brixton office for team meetings and company catch-ups.

Some of the experience you’ll bring with you may include:

  • 5+ years’ experience in the travel industry
  • Proven success managing key accounts and driving year-on-year revenue growth
  • Strong people management skills and experience leading others
  • Excellent commercial and contractual knowledge
  • Clear understanding of the UK & Ireland travel trade landscape
  • Creativity and curiosity — you bring fresh ideas to the table
  • Experience using a CRM (ideally Salesforce) plus confidence with Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel and Word

We expect strong interest in this role and may close the advert early — so if this sounds like your next adventure, we encourage you to apply soon.

Our people reflect the diversity of our customers and the communities we visit:

Intrepid is made up of 71 nationalities in over 30 countries, and we recognise that diversity makes us a stronger business. We support a culture where people can be themselves and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. Including First Nations People, LGBTQI+ people, those living with a disability, or from disadvantaged backgrounds, and all people from different ethnicities, races, and religions.

Rewarding and developing our people is important to us, some of our work perks include:

  • Flexible work options, such as work-from-home options and the ability to 'work from anywhere' 4 weeks a year
  • A free Intrepid trip every year, plus generous discounts for families, and close friends
  • 5 extra days of leave a year for use on Intrepid trip's
  • A minimum of 10 weeks paid parental leave for all parents, and other additional leave provisions.
  • Access to e-learning platforms, professional development and mentor programs
  • 20 hours of volunteer leave every year to use on causes most important to you
  • Employee Assistance Program, a 24/7 service that offers counselling for you and your family

We are Real. Together. Ambitious. Impactful. These are our values and to us they're more than just words, they are the pillars of our success and every day it's our people and the work they do that bring them to life.

At Intrepid ensuring diversity, equity, and inclusion is an important part of our recruitment process.
