You'll act as the voice of your schools within the business, making sure itineraries, logistics, and communications reflect their needs and expectations.
- Maintain detailed records within their CRM system, ensuring that school profiles, meeting notes, follow-ups, and relationship histories are always current and accurate. You'll also use their portal to track expedition progress and ensure clear handover points with other teams.
- Drive repeat business and upsell opportunitiesby developing strong, trusted relationships with key school stakeholders. You'll promote future expeditions, identify potential growth within your existing schools, and support the sales team in bringing new schools on board where time allows.
- Support the Operations team during expedition delivery periods, helping ensure smooth communication between schools and in-country teams, resolving issues where needed, and assisting with any hands-on coordination that might arise during peak travel times.
- Travel internationally to support expeditions or carry out a destination reccewhen required. This may involve assisting expedition teams on the ground, reviewing trip elements for quality assurance, or helping to build stronger local supplier relationships.
