Head of Sales & Product Development
Your chance to help shape the future of active tourism
Active holidays are all the rage! That’s why specialisation and clear positioning in the tourism sector are more in demand than ever. And that’s exactly where you come in.
As a leading marketing agency for themed holidays, we are dedicated to helping hotels and regions specialise in mountain biking, road cycling, gravel biking, leisure cycling, motorcycling, cross-country skiing and ski touring. Our day-to-day work involves a comprehensive marketing mix for our six successful brands, as well as supporting around 200 hotels and over 50 destinations across six countries.
We are growing steadily and aim to further expand our market leadership. To achieve this, we are not looking for a traditional administrator, but rather a strategic go-getter, a sales-focused communications talent and a leader who will grow with us and take independent responsibility for managing our entire sales division.
Your areas of responsibility with us:
- Sales strategy & implementation: You will develop an efficient sales strategy for our partner groups, design modern sales materials and implement the measures independently.
- Market development & new customer acquisition: You will evaluate regional potential, draw up bespoke proposals for focus regions and actively drive forward new customer acquisition (hotels & destinations).
- Product development: You will help shape the strategic development of our product groups, implement new projects – including refinancing models – and keep an eye on the market for potential new niches.
- Key Account Management: You will manage our existing hotel and regional clients, build long-term relationships and capitalise on upselling opportunities.
- External Presence & Lead Generation: You will take MTS Austria’s external presence at trade fairs, events and in press relations to the next level to generate high-quality leads.
- Sales Administration: You will maintain our sales software and coordinate internal activities to ensure marketing initiatives are executed flawlessly.
What you bring to the role:
- A solid background in tourism or business (university or university of applied sciences) and several years’ demonstrable success in sales (ideally in the tourism or destination sector).
- Strategic vision combined with a thoroughly hands-on approach to sales – you thrive on direct customer contact and successfully closing deals.
- Strong presentation and communication skills (for keynote speeches, events and negotiations on an equal footing).
- Excellent German and very good English skills (additional foreign languages an advantage).
- A passion for active holidays and cycle tourism.
What we offer you:
- Attractive salary package: A crisis-proof fixed salary plus an uncapped, performance-based commission.
- Top-of-the-range equipment: A company car and a modern company mobile phone.
- Security & flexibility: A long-term employment contract.
- Genuine autonomy: The chance to make a decisive impact on the future of sales at a leading tourism agency, working independently and directly on the ground within a very short timeframe.
