The role

We're looking for a proactive, personable, and organised volunteer to build and manage the distribution partnerships that get Earth Steward's events in front of the right people. You'll identify, approach, and develop relationships with hotels, hostels, and visitor accommodation in London, as well as tourism organisations, sustainable travel communities, and visitor-facing platforms whose audiences overlap with ours.

This is fundamentally a business development and relationship management role. You'll be representing Earth Stewards Travel Club externally, opening doors, and building the network of partners who help us grow without paid advertising.

This role suits someone with a background or interest in sales, business development, tourism, hospitality, or partnership management, and who wants to apply those skills to a purpose-driven business.

What you'll do

Hotel & accommodation partnerships

• Identify independent hotels, boutique stays, eco-friendly properties, hostels, and B&Bs in London whose guests are likely to be interested in our events

• Reach out to concierge teams, guest experience managers, and hotel marketing contacts to propose distributing Earth Stewards event information to their guests, via leaflets, digital displays, concierge recommendations, or inclusion in welcome packs

• Build and maintain ongoing relationships with accommodation partners, keeping them updated on upcoming events and new tour routes

• Explore reciprocal opportunities where relevant, promoting partner properties to our community in return

Tourism organisation partnerships

• Identify and approach tourism organisations, destination management organisations, sustainable travel networks, and visitor guides whose audience matches our community of eco-conscious travellers

• Pitch co-promotion arrangements: newsletter features, social media cross-promotion, event listings in partner channels, or collaborative event programming

• Develop relationships with organisations already working at the intersection of tourism and sustainability including B Corp networks, social enterprise communities, and green travel platforms

Partnership management

• Maintain a simple CRM or partnership tracker to record outreach, conversations, and active relationships

• Brief the founder regularly on pipeline and active partnerships

• Work with the Community & events marketing coordinator to ensure partner co-promotion is joined up with our own content calendar

• Identify new distribution opportunities as the event programme grows and new routes launch

Who we're looking for

Essential

• Genuine passion for sustainability, climate action, or conscious travel

• Confident communicator: comfortable reaching out cold, following up, and building relationships with people you haven't met before

• Organised and self-directed: able to manage a pipeline of outreach without close supervision

• Professional written communication skills: you'll be representing Earth Stewards externally in emails and proposals

Desirable

• Background or experience in sales, business development, account management, hospitality, or tourism

• Existing knowledge of or contacts within the London hotel, hostel, or sustainable tourism sector

• Experience with partnership or sponsorship outreach

• Familiarity with sustainable travel organisations, B Corp networks, or social enterprise communities
