Junior Account Manager (Recent Graduates Only)
TransPerfectTransPerfect, a global partner for more than 6,000 organizations and a service provider in 200+ languages, has built a footprint that spans over 150 offices across six continents. They blend big‑company reach with a drive for innovation to help brands grow confidently. The Dubai office is inviting applications for a Junior Account Manager to join the team onsite, with a clear focus on the travel sector and new business development alongside first‑line client support.
The role is a hands‑on start in a Dubai hub that suits recent graduates who want to launch a sales career, enjoy clear communication, and take ownership of client relationships. It’s a chance to learn how AI and technology fit into language and content services, while helping travel clients optimise their operations and guest experiences.
If you’re organized, motivated, and eager to build a foundation in enterprise relationships, this position could align with your career goals and give you the ballast to grow within a global services firm.
Day-to-day in the Dubai travel team
On a typical day, you’ll be focused on generating new business opportunities while also acting as the initial point of contact for existing travel clients, keeping them serviced and informed. Communication is key, and you’ll need to be reliable, organized, and ready to own your accounts from day one.
Collaboration across teams will be part of the routine. You’ll work with production colleagues and sales colleagues around the world to ensure projects stay on track and deliverables meet deadlines and budgets. You’ll learn about clients’ industries, business needs, and company cultures, which helps you spot new opportunities and elevate the service you provide.
As you gain experience, you’ll adopt consultative selling techniques, uncover client pain points, and start mapping those to AI, automation, and technology solutions. Building relationships with stakeholders in client Marketing, IT, and Digital teams will be common, and you’ll coordinate with Solutions Engineers and Delivery staff to shape enterprise proposals and scopes of work. You’ll also get exposure to travel and hospitality topics, seeing how AI can optimise localized booking flows, loyalty programs, and guest experiences. The role includes working with senior leadership to drive upsell and cross‑sell initiatives across TransPerfect’s AI and software stack, and it involves handling account financials such as billing setups, invoicing, and receivables. All of this happens while developing a clearer sense of how to balance client demands with practical delivery constraints.

Tips to help you stand out for this role
Lead with your degree and status as a recent graduate, then show you’ve already taken ownership on projects or internships that involved stakeholder interactions or client-facing work. This helps prove you’re ready to start a sales career and manage client relationships from the start.
Demonstrate the must‑have skills with concrete examples. Highlight your ability to communicate clearly in English, your analytical thinking, and your proactive approach by citing coursework, projects, or internships where you identified problems and drove solutions.
Prepare to discuss how you would build relationships across client Marketing, IT, and Digital teams, and how you’d map client needs to AI and automation options. Be ready to talk about learning the industry, the company’s travel clients, and how to collaborate with Solutions Engineers and Delivery staff to shape proposals.
Think of a smart question to ask at the end of your interview, such as how the team pursues upsell and cross‑sell opportunities within TransPerfect’s AI and software stack for travel clients, or what a typical path looks like from junior account manager toward broader client leadership in this practice.
