• Representing the business , attending events, trade fairs and other opportunities to raise our profile and connect with new clients.
• Working collaboratively , sharing knowledge, supporting colleagues and contributing to a positive, ambitious and fun team environment.

What are we looking for?

We're looking for someone who combines genuine passion for travel with proven sales ability. You'll need:

• A minimum of two years' sales experience within the travel industry , gained in a travel agency or tour operator environment.
• Strong worldwide destination knowledge and the confidence to design and sell holidays across a range of travel styles.
• A proven ability to convert enquiries into bookings and build lasting client relationships.
• Excellent communication and customer service skills, with the confidence to deal with clients professionally and enthusiastically.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach to sales, business development and following up opportunities.
• A positive attitude, a willingness to learn and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
• A genuine commitment to delivering the kind of personal service that makes clients choose us time and time again.

We're particularly interested in people who enjoy going beyond the ordinary, take pride in their work and want to be part of an ambitious, growing business.

What's in it for you?

We believe great people deserve great opportunities. Our benefits include:

• Commission-share bonus structure - benefit from your contribution to the business.
• Discounted holidays - enjoy opportunities to experience more of the world.
• Flexible hybrid working - flexibility within the requirements of the role and business.
