  • Experience with Salesforce (not essential).
  • Experience working with North America and EMEA markets.
  • Background in the educational travel industry or as a travel consultant.
  • International travel experience.
  • What’s in it for you

  • Basic salary of up to R25,000 ZAR per month
  • Commission (earn more by making an impact)
  • Generous leave policy + half-day Fridays every quarter
  • Opportunities for growth within a global organisation
  • Flexible, collaborative, and fun culture
  • Regular connection with our leadership team and CEO
  • Access to in-house wellbeing support
  • What you'll be doing

  • Champion client satisfaction : Become obsessed with the client experience, anticipating challenges and owning solutions to ensure every trip detail exceeds expectations.
  • Cultivate lasting relationships : Build strong rapport to establish loyalty and ensure participants consider World of Difference a trusted partner.
  • Masterful project coordination : Oversee the entire group travel process from contract to delivery, coordinating seamlessly with internal operations, sales, and business development teams.
  • Bridge communications : Act as the vital link between our participants and internal departments, ensuring clear understanding of requirements and deliverables.
  • Proactive problem solving : Anticipate client needs and address potential challenges proactively, maintaining high levels of satisfaction.
  • Support growth and impact : Collaborate with sales and business development through offering tailored solutions and supporting new business meetings where required.
  • Manage pre-departure support : Assist travellers with documentation collection, payment chasing, expectation management, and host engaging webinars.
  • Why work at World of Difference?

    If you want your work to matter, this is the place for you. You’ll be part of a fast-paced, fun, and purpose-driven environment dedicated to creating transformative experiences that connect people, cultures, and communities for a better world. We believe travel nurtures empathy, growth and good global citizenship. Our programs are designed to contribute meaningfully to important conservation and community development projects around the world. And as a proud sister company to GVI, under the second nature group, you’ll have access to a strong global network of shared expertise to help you learn more, do more and achieve more.
