Why Work For Us?
If you’ve got a passion for travel and thrive in a dynamic environment where you’ll make an exciting impact on travelers around the world, Vantage may be your dream employer! As we expand our portfolio of travel experiences — including river and small ship cruises and land adventures — and our customer base, we increasingly seek creative, progressive, and motivated professionals to join the Vantage team in our Boston headquarters or in one of our global offices in Budapest, Buenos Aires, Beijing, and Cape Town.
We offer a robust benefit package including your choice of top medical, dental and vision insurance plans, free international travel, a minimum of 3 weeks vacation to start, 3 personal days to use as you wish, on-site gym, lunch walks, wellness initiatives and more.
Our Group Travel department works to secure travel reservations on a larger scale by working with current and potential Group Leaders to arrange groups of 10 or more family & friends traveling together. Our lucrative incentive program (1 free traveler for every 10 paying travelers) and our expert Account Management and Marketing teams make this an easy sell and a seamless process for our guests. Group sizes range from smaller Family & Friends groups of 10-25 to larger Affinity Travel groups of 50-100. Travel Agency accounts are also managed by the Group Travel department.
Group Account Managers are assigned a geographical territory of existing accounts and are responsible for maintaining and growing their pipeline. In addition to securing Group Deals and sales from existing and new accounts, Group Account Managers work to provide excellent service by enhancing travel experiences through our suite of upsell offerings and complimentary concierge services.
Communications with Group Leader accounts are primarily via phone and email, with travel rarely required. Outbound sales experience and/or account management experience, phone sales experience, and excellent organizational skills are a must; travel industry experience is preferred but not required.
