Account Manager at Qatar Airways – Lagos

 Voted World’s Best Airline 8 times, Qatar Airways isn’t just flying planes; we’re connecting continents, cultures, and opportunities. With Hamad International – the World’s Best Airport – as our home and over 170 destinations worldwide, we’re now accelerating growth across Africa. That growth needs one exceptional relationship builder to champion Nigeria’s corporate and trade travel market.

We’re looking for a high-energy, results-obsessed Account Manager to be based in Lagos and own the commercial success of our biggest corporate accounts and trade partners in Nigeria.

This Is Not Just Sales – It’s Relationship Mastery

You’ll be the face (and brain) of Qatar Airways in the market, doing work that directly impacts revenue, market share, and passenger experience:

• Own a high-value portfolio of corporate houses, government ministries, oil & gas giants, banks, and top travel agencies.
• Hunt new business while protecting and growing existing revenue streams.
• Negotiate and close corporate deals, ADRs, incentive agreements, and preferential contracts that beat the competition.
• Deliver quarterly revenue targets and beat them.
• Design joint marketing campaigns, fam trips, and client events that turn clients into advocates.
• Be the first responder for escalations – turning complaints into loyalty.
• Provide weekly market intelligence on competitor fares, schedules, and strategies.
• Work hand-in-glove with pricing, revenue management, and global sales teams to win every deal.

This is street-level aviation sales with boardroom-level impact.

Who Dominates This Role

• Bachelor’s degree + minimum 5 years of B2B sales experience in aviation, hospitality, or premium services.
• Documented success in hitting (and exceeding) multimillion-dollar revenue targets.
• Existing network within Nigeria’s corporate travel, oil & gas, or government sectors is a massive advantage.
• You close deals with charm, data, and persistence – in that order.
• Expert-level presentation skills – you can sell a 5-star experience to a CFO at 8 a.m. and a travel agent at 8 p.m.
• Willingness to travel domestically and occasionally within Africa/Middle East.
• Full professional proficiency in English; French is a strong plus.

What You Get When You Join the Best Airline on Earth

• Highly competitive basic salary + uncapped commission (top performers earn 7 figures in bonuses)
• Annual return tickets for you + family to any Qatar Airways destination worldwide
• Comprehensive medical cover, housing allowance (Lagos), education allowance, car + driver
• Fast-track career progression – many of our Country Managers started exactly where you will
• Work with a young, international, high-performing team that celebrates every win
