About you
• You are a friendly, knowledgeable golfer who enjoys helping other golfers plan the perfect trip.
• Proven customer-facing experience, ideally in travel, hospitality or golf
• Excellent telephone and written communication, with a warm, professional manner
• Strong numeracy and attention to detail, as quotes and itineraries must be right first time
• Ability to manage a busy pipeline and prioritise follow-ups without being chased
• A regular golfer, with first-hand experience of playing a variety of courses, preferably including outside the UK
• Strong IT skills, including email and booking systems
• A team player who is also happy working independently

What we offer
• Competitive salary, pro rata for part-time hours, with no sales targets or commission.
• 28 days’ holiday plus bank holidays (pro rata for part-time), with days off in lieu when supplier inspection trips fall at weekends or on bank holidays
• Industry discounts and the chance to join supplier familiarisation (fam) trips to play the courses you sell
• Training on our products, systems and destinations
• Hybrid working considered after a successful first year (the role is office based)
