Account Manager New Business

Full-time, Amsterdam

Would you like to work at the fastest growing travel site in the Netherlands? And make us as successful in France as we are in the Netherlands? We can offer you extensive room for growth and excellent career opportunities.

Who we are

Young, dynamic, enthusiastic, flexible, smart, ambitious, “work hard, play hard”, are all words that characterise a ‘birdie’. Not everyone can be a ‘birdie’ and not everyone wants to be a ‘birdie’. We are just looking for talented superstars to enforce our team!

How it all started

TravelBird was founded in Amsterdam in April 2010. It all began in an attic and with founders Dennis Klompalberts and Symen Jansma, who offered just one fantastic new travel deal each day. For the past four years TravelBird has been expanding to 18 countries across Europe, and our websites now feature the most competitively priced holidays. Last April the famous Samwer brothers from Germany came on board as TravelBird’s first investors. TravelBird owes its success to a refreshingly simple idea: make it easy to book spectacular holidays and experiences by offering inspiring travel deals each and every day. Today TravelBird operates out of a large office on the Keizersgracht in the heart of Amsterdam, where over 400 enthusiastic and international “Birdies” work to find the best holiday destinations and create great deals for everyone.

A day as an Account Manager

Throughout the day, you are constantly researching current trends, evaluating the competition and identifying new hot leads in order to enable TravelBird to promote the most unique and diverse daily deals. You will work individually on establishing, developing, maintaining and expanding a client portfolio. Aftersales, relationship management and executing administrational tasks are also part of your daily routine. To maximize your personal revenue, you will have to negotiate the best rates and commission percentages and proactively contract new leisure providers (hotels & touroperators). Apart from working individually on achieving your personal targets, you will be expected to join efforts with team members from travel advisors and web editors in order to stimulate growth of your country as quickly and efficiently as possible.
