  • Travel Perks : Up to 50% off O.A.T. and Grand Circle trips for you and a companion
  • Future Benefits : 401(k) with company match, life insurance, and disability coverage

Key Responsibilities

Channel Development & Strategy

  • Design and execute O.A.T.’s travel agency and consortia sales strategy , including partnership models, contracting, and go‑to‑market approach.
  • Develop scalable frameworks for commission structures, incentives, and training programs that drive performance and loyalty.
  • Identify high‑potential agencies and consortia to establish preferred partnerships and long‑term business growth.

    • Revenue Growth & Performance

  • Deliver measurable passenger and revenue growth through the agency channel, with accountability for targets, profitability, and ROI.
  • Leverage data and analytics to track partner performance , optimize spend, and refine sales priorities.

    • Relationship Management

  • Build trusted relationships with key partners across the U.S. travel trade
  • Serve as the face of O.A.T. to the travel advisor community, representing our brand at industry events, conferences, and trade shows.

    • Trade Marketing & Enablement

  • Collaborate with Marketing and Product teams to create compelling trade marketing materials, training content, and co‑op campaigns.
  • Oversee FAM trips, webinars, and roadshows to engage advisors and showcase the O.A.T. experience.
  • Champion the development of an agent portal and communication tools to streamline engagement.

    • Cross‑Functional Leadership

  • Partner with internal teams — including Marketing, Finance, Operations, and Customer Experience — to ensure smooth integration of trade partnerships into our overall distribution strategy.
  • Maintain brand integrity by ensuring the agency channel enhances, rather than competes with, our direct‑to‑consumer business.

    • Qualifications

  • 10+ years of progressive sales experience in the travel, tourism, or hospitality industry, including at least 3–5 years managing travel agency or trade partnerships.
  • Demonstrated success launching or scaling a trade sales channel for a tour operator, cruise line, or experiential travel brand.
