Destination Product & Sales Manager, South Africa

We’re looking for a Destination Product & Sales Manager, Southern Africa to join our team in Johannesburg on a permanent, full-time basis.  

This is your chance to shape how travellers experience Southern Africa - building meaningful, sustainable, and commercially strong travel experiences that truly connect people and places. 

We work in a 3-2-1 hybrid model, with 3 days in the office and 2 from home, including at least 1 office day on a Monday or Friday.

You’ll take ownership of creating market-ready, experience-rich trips that drive sales, hit margin targets and deliver great customer outcomes. 

This is a great fit for someone who knows the Southern African travel landscape inside out and enjoys balancing commercial thinking with creativity. You’ll thrive working cross-functionally, influencing stakeholders, and shaping products that are both sustainable and competitive.
