Sell wild places. Grow a luxury safari brand across North America. Do it from wherever you call home as long as it's within North America!
This is a rare chance to represent one of the most respected names in luxury safari and conservation travel, working directly with the travel advisors, consortia, and host agencies who shape where high-end travellers go next. You will be the face of an extraordinary product in your market, building relationships that turn advisors into passionate advocates and driving real revenue growth in the process. If you love the deal-making side of travel sales as much as the storytelling, and you already move comfortably in luxury advisor circles, this role gives you the platform to do both at scale.
Duties & Responsibilities
- Build and strengthen relationships with travel advisors, consortia, host agencies and key industry partners across North America
- Represent the brand at industry events throughout the region
- Identify and pursue new business opportunities within the luxury travel channel
- Deliver engaging product training to advisors and partner networks
- Drive sales growth through strategic partnerships and consultative selling
- Manage and grow relationships with major luxury consortia including Virtuoso, Signature and Ensemble
- Work closely with the global sales team to align regional activity with wider sales strategy
Desired Experience & Qualification
- You currently reside in North America and are legally authorised to work there. No visa sponsorship is available, so this is non-negotiable.
- You have a minimum of 3+ years' experience in luxury travel sales, hospitality, safari, expedition or a closely related travel sector.
- You have established, genuine relationships within the North American luxury travel advisor community.
- You have direct, hands-on experience working with major luxury consortia such as Virtuoso, Signature or Ensemble.
- You are willing and able to travel extensively across North America and internationally, often at short notice.
