Are you a sales talent with a passion for active travel? Do you enjoy achieving goals and targets? If so, then the role of Adventure Sales Specialist at Macs Adventure is a fantastic opportunity to live out your passion and advance your career in active and adventure travel!

We are looking for someone who shares our values to join our sales team. You will make a difference by helping our customers find their perfect self‑guided walking or cycling adventure and enabling them to experience memorable “Macs Moments.”

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an ambitious, fast‑growing international business and progress your career in travel and sales. Reporting into the Sales Director, you will have the opportunity to become a destination specialist and experience what we offer our customers to support your success within the business.

We’re a scaling adventure tour operator on a mission to be the leading global brand in self‑guided, active travel.

Welcoming over 40,000 customers on walking and cycling trips to destinations around the world, we employ over 150 people across the UK, US and Germany who share our purpose to create #macs moments by leading, advocating & enabling self‑guided, active travel as a positive force for people and planet.

We’re an ambitious, forward‑thinking business with a bold vision for the future, and our culture reflects these ambitions. We’re an action‑oriented, fast‑paced organization and we like to have fun along the way. We’re looking for people who can grow with Macs and join us on our journey. It’s not the easy route and we’re looking for people who enjoy challenges, love learning, want to make an impact and align with our core values:

• Love the journey: A Macs trip is all about the journey, not the destination. We are all believers in Macs’ unique brand of self‑guided, active travel and shout about it. As more travelers convert to the Macs Way, we accept our business will grow and change. We welcome new connections, and embrace new opportunities.
• Take a different path:
  We’re not different for different’s sake; but we won’t succeed if we’re just the same as everyone else. We devise creative solutions to problems, find new ways of doing things, and trust colleagues who are doing so too. We are brave and feel empowered to take the initiative.
• Tread thoughtfully:
  We are considerate, empathetic and try to put ourselves in our customers’, suppliers’ and each other’s shoes. We support local, and find ways of having less negative impact on the planet.
• Go the extra mile:
  We know that creating a perfect #Macs Moment involves going that bit further. We imagine the best feedback we can get and set out to earn it. We take ownership and accountability – it’s yours, not someone else’s, problem. We step up and help our teammates when they need us.
