Reporting directly to the CEO, this senior leadership role is responsible for developing and executing a unified strategy that drives revenue growth, builds brand awareness, and deepens customer engagement. The Director balances vision with action: shaping strategy while also rolling up their sleeves alongside the team to ensure momentum, alignment, and results. This is a pivotal opportunity to influence company direction, build and mentor a talented team, and strengthen Adventure Canada’s presence in niche travel markets through sales leadership, brand storytelling, and digital strategy.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and lead an integrated sales and marketing strategy aligned with Adventure Canada’s values and growth goals.
• Manage and mentor a compact cross-functional team (Sales Manager, Digital Marketing Manager, Brand & Partnership Manager), building them into a high-performing unit.
• Drive lead generation, sales conversions, client retention, and growth of B2B partnerships.
• Oversee brand, content, and digital marketing strategies across multiple channels.
• Evaluate and make recommendations on future e-commerce opportunities.
• Collaborate with the CEO and executive team on business planning, forecasting, and brand development.
• Represent Adventure Canada at industry events, trade shows, and with key partners.

What You Bring

• 7+ years of progressive experience in sales and marketing leadership, ideally in travel, hospitality, or a related industry.
• Proven ability to grow revenue, build brands, and develop teams.
• Hands-on digital marketing expertise, with the ability to oversee strategy and contribute to execution.
• Strong partnership-building skills, particularly in niche markets.
• Expertise in CRM systems, analytics, and sales enablement tools.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and decision-making abilities.
• A passion for travel, culture, and creating unforgettable guest experiences.

Location & Work Model

• Based at our Mississauga, Ontario office (hybrid model with flexibility).
• Occasional travel required, including trade shows, client meetings, and select expeditions.

Why Adventure Canada?

• Be part of a small but mighty team where your work directly shapes our success.
• Contribute to a company that values culture, community, and conservation.
• Enjoy hybrid work flexibility, opportunities to travel, and the chance to make a real impact in a growing organization.
