Join to apply for the Director of Sales role at Golf Traveller
At Golf Traveller, we are redefining how golf travel is experienced. As luxury experience curators, we craft unparalleled golf travel discoveries for a global clientele of elite private clubs, high net worth individuals, and corporate investors in golf.
With a strong heritage in golf, travel, hospitality, and events, our leadership team has a clear vision for the role Golf Traveller can play for discerning guests, blending world-class destinations with seamless service and exclusive access.
We have recently secured funding to accelerate our expansion, reinforcing our reputation as an innovative force in golf travel. With offices in London, St Andrews, Stockholm and Singapore, we are growing and looking for ambitious, forward-thinking individuals to help us build the future of luxury golf travel.
While direct experience in the golf industry is a plus, we’re open to outstanding commercial leaders with an affinity for the game and/or proven success in luxury or high-ticket B2C/B2B sales.
About the Opportunity
You’ll be stepping into a newly created leadership role with ownership of our entire sales function. Success will mean building the structure, rhythm and culture that allow our sales team to thrive - both now and as we scale. Each of the four revenue streams is staffed with specialists; your task will be to lead this team to excellence while ensuring cross-functional alignment with our Product, Marketing, Fulfilment and Technology teams, collectively the Verticals.
Key indicators of success include:
* Delivering against revenue targets across all four streams
* Collaborating with Verticals to align lead generation and conversion strategies
* Translating high-level commercial goals into actionable sales playbooks

* Creating a performance culture through structured reporting, accountability and training
* Implementing effective onboarding and development programs to upskill the team
* Driving high client satisfaction and repeat business through a hands-on, strategic sales approach
You’ll be both strategic and operational — able to zoom out to set direction and zoom in to support your team on the ground. This role is central to our next stage of growth and your impact will be visible from day one.
