Travel Operations Executive (Team Tours)
Remote | Basic+ Commission | Tipperary, IRELAND
If you thrive in the world of operations, love the rhythm of travel logistics, and get a quiet thrill from turning complexity into seamless execution — this role is going to speak your language.
Innovation Advance is recruiting on behalf of a leading international travel brand with a fast‑growing Team Tours Division. They deliver unforgettable travel experiences for schools, clubs, academies, and professional teams, and they’re looking for an Operations Executive who brings structure, accuracy, warmth, and commercial awareness to every booking.
This is a remote role supporting an experienced Ireland‑based team — perfect for someone who is organised, proactive, and confident managing multiple moving parts.
What You’ll Do
You’ll be the operational engine behind team travel — ensuring every itinerary, costing, booking, and supplier interaction is delivered with precision and care.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing client bookings from confirmation through to post‑tour reconciliation
- Producing accurate costings, proposals, itineraries, and documentation
- Building strong relationships with clients, suppliers, and partners
- Sourcing and booking flights, accommodation, transport, and activities
- Ensuring all operational and financial systems are accurate and up to date
- Managing timelines, deadlines, and supplier commitments
- Reconciling bookings and ensuring margins meet company targets
- Supporting colleagues and contributing to a positive, collaborative team culture
If you love detail, communication, and the satisfaction of a perfectly executed plan, you’ll thrive here.
What You Bring:
We’re looking for someone who is both people‑focused and process‑driven — someone who can juggle multiple tasks without losing accuracy or momentum.
You’ll be a great fit if you have:
- Experience as a Travel Consultant – Sports Tour experience beneficial
- Strong organisational skills and a love for structure
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Confidence working with suppliers and negotiating rates
- Solid Microsoft Office skills (Excel, Word, Outlook, SharePoint)
- A calm, solutions‑focused approach to problem‑solving
- The ability to work independently while staying connected to the team
- This role suits someone who enjoys being the steady, reliable centre of a fast‑moving environment.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Remote working with a supportive international team
- Flexitime for the right candidate
- Commission on tours that meet profit targets
- Exposure to a wide range of teams — from U12s to national squads
- A growing division with room to develop your skills and career
- A values‑driven organisation that prioritises Passion, Innovation, Respect, Integrity, Diversity, and Stakeholder Care
This is meaningful, high‑impact work — you’re helping create life‑changing experiences for teams and young athletes.
This Role Is Perfect For Someone who:
- Loves operations and thrives on detail
- Enjoys working with people but doesn’t need constant supervision
- Can stay calm during peak periods and tight deadlines
- Wants to be part of a growing, energetic, values‑driven organisation
- Takes pride in delivering work that is accurate, polished, and on time
