You are an experienced leader with a passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences and driving commercial results. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy coaching and developing high-performing teams, and have a strong ability to balance operational excellence with sales performance.

With a background in reservations, travel, hospitality or customer service leadership, you bring strong communication, problem-solving and stakeholder management skills. You are data-driven, commercially minded, and continually look for opportunities to improve processes, increase productivity and enhance customer outcomes.

You will also have:

  • Demonstrated leadership experience managing customer service or reservations teams
  • Strong coaching, mentoring and performance management capabilities
  • A proven ability to drive sales conversion and revenue growth
  • Experience analysing performance data and delivering operational improvements
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement and conflict resolution skills
  • Experience working in a fast-paced service environment

  • A collaborative and continuous improvement mindset

About The Role

As Reservations Manager, you will lead a team of Team Leaders, Supervisors and Sales Consultants to deliver exceptional service, optimise sales conversion and achieve commercial performance targets. You will be responsible for driving a high-performance culture, improving operational efficiency and ensuring an outstanding guest experience across all reservations channels.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Lead the Reservations team by setting clear goals, managing day-to-day performance, providing regular feedback and coaching, and conducting performance reviews.
  • Oversee guest and agent enquiries, quotes and bookings across all channels, ensuring timely, accurate and helpful service.
  • Monitor call volumes and service levels, and work with the Workforce Optimisation Manager to adjust staffing and priorities as demand changes.
  • Ensure reservations and guest itineraries are accurate, suitable for the guest and supported by complete documentation. Help the team identify relevant opportunities across accommodation, touring, transfers, dining and experiences.
  • Improve sales conversion by coaching the team to understand guest needs, follow up on enquiries, address objections and confidently recommend relevant products. Monitor results and act on opportunities within the team’s control.
  • Train new team members in company policies, systems and booking procedures, and maintain the team’s product knowledge, sales skills and guest service standards.
  • Analyse and report on team and individual performance, including service levels, booking accuracy, guest experience and conversion. Use the results to guide improvements and contribute to agreed commercial targets.
  • Oversee agreed outbound pre-arrival calling activity, balancing it with inbound demand and service levels.
  • Resolve booking issues and guest or agent escalations, involving other teams where needed.
  • Attend Disruption Management Team (DMT) meetings and coordinate Travel Centre actions and communications during disruptions, keeping relevant stakeholders informed.
  • Work with Revenue, Sales, Marketing, Product and Operations to align Reservations activity with campaigns, inventory and operational changes, and improve the guest experience.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
