Why This Role

Most marketing jobs end at the click. This one ends with someone standing on a deck.

You're selling a decision people think about for years and save up for, made slowly, at a kitchen table, with a brochure open in front of them. That brochure is yours. So is the destination positioning that makes one itinerary land harder than a competitor's, and the sales tools the trade uses to close. Three people report to you, and every market across Australia and Current Zealand comes to you for the campaigns, the assets and the offers.
