Business Development Consultant (Freelance)

About Worldwide Word Travel and Tourism

Worldwide Word Travel and Tourism L.L.C S.O.C (WWTT) is a Dubai-based travel and tourism company. Crafting Journeys and Creating Memories, we serve leisure travellers, corporate clients and trade partners in the UAE and across international source markets, and operate iTripz, our online booking platform (itripz.com), B2B portal and referral partner network.

About the role

We are looking for Business Development Consultants to work with us on a freelance basis. You will generate and convert new business for WWTT and iTripz: corporate travel accounts, B2B and trade partnerships, group and MICE bookings, and inbound tourism demand into the UAE from your market. We are building a network of consultants covering multiple source markets, including the CIS (Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and neighbouring countries), Africa, the GCC, South Asia, Europe, East Asia and other regions. This is a flexible, results-driven engagement suited to experienced professionals with their own network who want to work independently.

Responsibilities

• Identify, approach and sign new corporate, SME and institutional clients for travel management, visas, holiday packages and group travel
• Build and grow a pipeline of B2B partners (travel agents, tour operators, DMCs, corporate and community organisations) in your market for the iTripz B2B and referral partner programmes
• Promote the UAE as a destination to clients and partners in your region and route their bookings through WWTT and iTripz
• Represent WWTT at networking events, trade shows and community forums in the UAE or in your home market
• Prepare proposals, present our products and services, negotiate and close deals
• Keep accurate records of leads, meetings and conversions in our CRM and report weekly on pipeline progress
• Share market intelligence and recommend new products, packages and partnership opportunities

Qualifications

• 3+ years of business development, sales or account management experience, ideally in travel, tourism, hospitality or a related service industry
• An established network in your market (corporate, SME, trade or community) that you can activate from day one
• Strong communication, presentation and negotiation skills in English; Russian, Arabic, French, Hindi/Urdu, Chinese or other languages are a strong advantage
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on a freelance, results-based arrangement
• Based in the UAE or in one of our target source markets (CIS, Africa, GCC, South Asia, Europe, East Asia or others)

Engagement terms

This is a freelance engagement, not a salaried position. The remuneration structure will be discussed with shortlisted candidates. The role is remote; UAE-based consultants will have periodic meetings at our Dubai office.
