## Description

**About the Role**

We're looking for a Business Development Officer (BDO) to drive revenue growth by prospecting, negotiating, and winning new corporate, government (MDA), diplomatic, and high-net-worth accounts. You'll build strategic relationships, craft tailored corporate travel solutions, and help expand our client base across key market segments in Abuja.

**What you'll actually be doing**

**Find and close big-ticket accounts**  
You will identify and win travel management partnerships with corporates, embassies, NGOs, and MDAs, crafting RFPs and proposals sharp enough to beat the competition.

**Become the first point of contact for clients**  
You will be the trusted face for key travel managers and procurement leads, leading review meetings, demonstrating the savings you've delivered, and growing the account through premium and ancillary offerings.

**Negotiate like it's your business**  
You will strike favourable deals with airlines, hotel chains, and tour operators and team up with marketing and operations to build standout corporate retreats, vacation packages, and seasonal campaigns.

**Stay ahead of the market**  
You will track competitor pricing and emerging travel trends, hit your sales targets, and give leadership a clear, confident view of your pipeline and forecasts.

## Requirements

**What you bring**

-   A bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business Administration, International Relations, or similar
-   3–5 years in sales or business development in travel, hospitality, corporate sales, or aviation backgrounds are a strong fit
-   Sharp presentation and negotiation instincts, a strong network, and a real understanding of how Abuja's corporate and public sector procurement works

**Why this role**  
You won't just be selling seats and hotel nights, you'll be shaping how some of Abuja's biggest organisations travel. High-value accounts, real autonomy, and a direct line to leadership on the results you drive.

**PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PREFERRED CANDIDATE MUST RESIDE IN ABUJA.**
