Turn luxury travel opportunities into extraordinary member relationships.
At Ten, our ambition is simple: to become the most trusted service business in the world.
As the global market leader in lifestyle management and concierge services, we combine our proprietary technology with the expertise of highly trained lifestyle managers to create exceptional experiences for our members. Now, we are taking our Private Travel proposition to the next level.
We are looking for a Private Travel Engagement & Distribution Manager to help us grow our presence within the world of high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth travel.
This is not a traditional marketing role. It is a role for someone who understands that, in luxury, relationships matter, access matters, and every interaction is an opportunity to create desire, trust and connection.
You will identify where our next members are, build the relationships that bring them closer to Ten, and create the experiences, partnerships and channels that turn interest into lasting membership.
The opportunity
You will own the engagement and distribution strategy for Ten Private Travel, working closely with the Managing Director of Private Travel and our Marketing, Sales, CRM, Product, Creative and Content teams.
From identifying a new luxury audience or partnership opportunity, to hosting an intimate client experience, launching a compelling piece of travel content or developing a new route to market, you will connect the dots between brand, relationships and commercial growth.
You will be equally comfortable thinking strategically and making things happen.

- Identify and cultivate prospective HNW and UHNW clients through market intelligence, client schemes, industry networks, events and strategic relationships.

- Build partnerships and relationships that create new routes to market.
- Leverage luxury travel networks, client schemes, events and strategic partners to generate meaningful acquisition opportunities.

Create exceptional experiences
- Plan and deliver VIP member events, product launches, partner activations and high-profile travel experiences.
- Create moments that feel exclusive, relevant and memorable.
- Ensure every event and client touchpoint reflects the quality, sophistication and high-touch service expected within the luxury market.
Know the market
- Stay ahead of luxury travel trends, competitor activity, emerging markets and changing affluent consumer behaviours.
- Use CRM and member insight to understand what motivates our clients and where future opportunities lie.
- Translate data, feedback and market intelligence into actionable recommendations.
- Track acquisition, engagement, conversion, lead quality and ROI to understand what is working and where we can do more.
Influence the proposition
- Work closely with Product, CRM, Creative, Content and Service teams to ensure our Private Travel proposition remains relevant and compelling.
- Bring client insight and market intelligence into the development of new travel experiences.
- Help ensure that everything we put into the market reflects our luxury positioning and genuine understanding of the private client.
