Lead Generation Manager - Franchisees. Audience & Partnerships. Re

The hunter. Not the farmer.

Most lead generation roles sound exciting in the advert. Then you join and spend your days nursing the same tired channels, tweaking the same campaigns, and wondering why nothing ever really changes.

This isn't that role.

We re The Travel Franchise - the world s number one travel franchise, voted best franchise on the planet two years running. We already have strong demand coming through the door. Our sales team is sharp, experienced, and ready to close. What we need now is someone whose entire job is to find the people who haven t heard of us yet.

New sectors. New networks. New pathways. Built by you, from scratch.

If that makes your pulse quicken rather than your stomach sink, keep reading.

Your Background / Skills: Lead Generation, New Audience Development, Partnerships, Outbound Prospecting, Business Development, Pipeline Creation, Market Mapping

A year from now

You ll have had a great year if you move the needle on these three things:

• New pipeline created - you ve opened a minimum of five entirely new lead sources that didn t exist before you arrived. Not tweaks to existing channels. Brand new audiences, actively flowing into our sales team.

• Qualified lead volume - the leads coming from your channels are converting. Not just names and email addresses. Real, interested, qualified prospects who are genuinely considering becoming a Travel Consultant.

• Repeatable pathways - at least three of your new channels are reliable and self-sustaining. You ve documented them, embedded them, and proven they work without you having to manually push every single time.

This Role

Your sole focus is finding audiences we ve never reached before.

While our marketing team manages a busy existing pipeline, you operate independently - looking outward, constantly. You ll research sectors, identify professional networks and communities, and build direct pathways into them. Corporate redundancy pools. Ex-military networks. Professional groups. Industry associations. Anywhere that houses ambitious people who might just be ready to build something of their own.

When you find a strong prospect or a promising channel, you don t hand it off and move on. You nurture it. You keep the momentum alive until it s firmly embedded into our pipeline. Then you go and find the next one.

This is a commercially minded, outbound-first role for someone who understands that real growth comes from creating new demand - not optimising what already exists. You ll operate with a lot of autonomy. You ll be trusted to make good calls quickly and pivot when something isn t working. And when you find something that does work, you ll pursue it hard.

Remote working is absolutely fine, though being within reach of Bournemouth is a genuine advantage - we re a collaborative team and there s real value in being able to get in the room when it matters.

Here s where we see you need experience to kick ass at this role

• Pure outbound prospecting - you ve spent meaningful time (3 5 years) in outbound lead generation, business development, or a hunting-focused sales role. You re comfortable starting conversations from cold and turning them into commercial momentum.

• Opening new markets from scratch - you can point to a specific time you identified a new territory or audience segment, built a strategy to reach them, and made it work. Not inherited someone else s pipeline. Built your own.

• Network thinking - you instinctively think about where groups of ideal people gather. You can map a market, identify the communities within it, and figure out how to get access.

• Speed and judgement - you test fast, read the signals honestly, and don t waste time on avenues that aren t moving. When something does show promise, you go after it properly.

• Self-sufficiency - you don t need someone to hand you a list of targets or a script. You re the one building the list. That s what you love about it.
