You'll ideally have:

• 3+ years' experience across groups, incentives, FIT, travel design or tour operations

• Strong knowledge of Australian destinations, experiences and tourism product

• Experience in luxury or bespoke travel

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple moving parts

• Confidence working with CRMs, booking systems and digital tools

• A collaborative, calm and solutions-focused approach

The Role

This is a Melbourne-based hybrid position, with three days per week in our Abbotsford office.
