Conduct needs analysis to fully understand client goals, preferences, and constraints, and identify opportunities to upsell additional experiences or extensions that enhance the itinerary. Think laterally and creatively to design unique, high-value itineraries tailored to client needs. Treat every client with the same care and attention you would give a friend or family member. Build strong relationships with North American clients, advising with confidence and professionalism. Use CRM and other tools efficiently to manage and nurture client relationships. Work remotely, autonomously, and efficiently — prioritising speed, quality, and client satisfaction. Collaborate with the team to continuously refine processes and improve client experience. What We're Looking For Experienced Travel Designer who is naturally enthusiastic, quick, and self-motivated. Flexible mindset — able to handle day-tour lead requests and transform them into multi-day itineraries through thoughtful service and needs analysis. Experience with large itineraries — able to manage complex multi-day trips with multiple destinations and services. Upselling skills — ability to identify opportunities based on client needs and add value to itineraries. Client-first attitude — treats clients as they would treat friends or family.

Fluent Italian & English (C1) — excellent written and spoken communication. North American market experience or proven ability to build relationships with international clients. Tech-savvy — able to use CRM and other digital tools efficiently. Fast, adaptable, and reliable — able to handle multiple high-value clients with attention to detail. Ambition — potential to train and grow into a future sales manager role. Must have legal permission to work in Italy.
