Melbourne (hybrid, 1 day in office after probation)
Some travel agencies book travel.
We get productions on stage.
Gig Travel Group is a specialist travel management company for the entertainment industry.
Our work is national tours, international routings, festival runs, theatre seasons, production crews and the artists on the other end of it.
We're looking for a Global Touring Specialist to take ownership of a portfolio of entertainment and production accounts.
What you'll actually do
Own a portfolio of touring, production and entertainment clients end-to-end - quote, book, ticket, change, and support them while they're on the road
Build complex multi-sector international itineraries for bands, crews, families and freight, and rebuild them when a show moves
Handle the reissues, involuntary changes and 11th-hour reroutes that come with live touring
Reach for the best commercial outcome - entertainment and net fares, sensible fee application, margin that holds
Build genuine relationships with tour managers, production managers, promoters and artist management
Help make our clients' gigs come to life
What you'll need
3+ years in corporate, group or specialist travel management (entertainment, touring, sport, film or production experience is highly regarded, not essential - we'll teach you the touring side)
Genuine GDS depth - Sabre preferred, and you're comfortable with fare construction, reissues and exchanges without needing to ask.
Solid Excel and Microsoft Office
The temperament for live work: calm under pressure, decisive, and able to hold detail across a dozen moving itineraries




A client-first instinct and the judgement to act without waiting to be told
Be clear-eyed about this part
Touring doesn't run 9 to 5.
There are stretches: tour cycles, festival season, an international leg going sideways at 2am (where you'll be contactable outside standard hours), and stretches where it's genuinely quiet.
We share the general after-hours load across the team, we don't pretend it isn't there, and we don't expect you to be permanently on.
If that trade sounds like the interesting part of the job, you'll enjoy it here.
If it sounds like a dealbreaker, we'd rather you know now.
What we offer
$80,000 base + superannuation
Performance incentive on top, and ours pays above market.A transparent commission scheme paid on the commission you generate across your own portfolio, on closed and reconciled files.
We will walk you through the actual mechanics and the real numbers at interview, not after you sign.
Hybrid working - currently one day in office (Collingwood) after probation
A real year-round portfolio from day one, not a queue
A small, senior team where your work is visible and your judgement is trusted
Access to entertainment product content specific to our industry
Room to grow as we do!
What success looks like in your first 12 months
You're running your portfolio without escalation.
Your clients always ask for you by name.
Your files reconcile cleanly.
And when a tour changes without warning, even at midnight, the client's first thought is that you'll have already fixed it.
Gig Travel Group is an equal opportunity employer.
We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
