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.

* Create tailored outreach sequences and high-quality email campaigns

* Confident communicating with brands, agencies and creators
* Comfortable attending events and meeting people in person
* Interested in travel, social media, creators or influencer marketing
