Safari JOBS is recruiting for an enthusiastic and highly organised Sales Coordinator to join the Cape Town-based commercial team of an award-winning, ultra-luxury safari company.
The role will provide high-quality administrative and sales support to the Commercial Manager and Head of Sales, while also assisting with trade partner communication, marketing coordination, financial administration and reservations support when required.
The successful candidate will also work closely with the Marketing & PR Manager and collaborate across the wider commercial team, and will play an important role in keeping the commercial function organised, responsive and accurately administered, while helping to maintain strong relationships with travel advisors, tour operators, trade partners and clients.
This is a full-time, office-based position in Cape Town and requires flexibility in work scheduling and responsiveness to occasional urgent operational requirements, including alternate-weekend reservations support when required.
The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic, organised and highly attentive to detail, with a natural inclination towards adding structure and keeping things on track.
The company is looking for a stable, committed person who is comfortable working within a practical, hands-on environment where, although important SOPโs are in place, the focus is very much on getting the work done efficiently.
A good understanding of the leisure buying channel would be highly beneficial.
The ideal candidate is already Cape Town based, with preference for candidates residing within reasonable daily commuting distance of the Southern Suburbs. Candidates residing further afield must be comfortable with the daily commute, as hybrid or remote working cannot currently be offered.
