Travel Sales & Logistics Specialist
SilverOpusSUMMARY SilverOpus Authentic Tours designs small-group luxury journeys to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Switzerland, the UK, Ireland, Argentina, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, and Japan. Our clients are 50+ travelers who’ve been everywhere and expect everything to be right. We don’t do “good enough,” and neither should you. This isn’t a job where you close the sale and hand the client off to someone else. You’ll open the relationship, close it, and then stay in it — booking the hotels, coordinating with our suppliers on the ground, and being the voice on the other end when a client has a question three weeks before they fly. If you take pride in seeing a client relationship through from first call to final thank-you, this is the role for you. THE OPPORTUNITY You’ll wear two hats, sometimes in the same hour: Sales: Field incoming leads, walk prospects through our programs, and close deals with people who are used to being sold to and can spot a script from a mile away. Logistics: Book the services behind the sale, work directly with suppliers at destination, and be the person our clients trust after they’ve already paid — answering questions, solving problems, and making sure the trip we promised is the trip they get. WHAT WE OFFER Remote, full-time (40 hrs/week) $60K–$65K base salary, plus bonuses and the possibility of commission 3 weeks (15 business days) of PTO, plus holidays Retirement plan Weekend work (Saturday and Sunday) is required for this role. The other three days are yours to arrange. ARE YOU THE RIGHT FIT? You need: A minimum of 5 years of experience in the travel industry — this is not an entry-level role Strong, working knowledge of at least two of these destinations: Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland), Switzerland, the UK, Ireland, Argentina, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, the Balkans or Japan Excellent people and customer-service skills, with communication that doesn’t need workshopping An outgoing personality — comfortable initiating and sustaining relationships with strangers Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the composure to resolve supplier or booking issues under time pressure You’ll thrive here if: You can hold two very different mindsets at once — the close and the follow-through — without dropping either one You take ownership of a client relationship from first hello to final thank-you note You’re comfortable with weekends as part of your normal workweek, not an exception to it TO APPLY Click the link above to complete our application for this position.
