The world needs more Intrepid people: 

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. 

 

In this role, you’ll sit at the centre of our Southern Africa product and sales strategy - designing and pricing group itineraries, collaborating closely with Sales, Ops and Product teams, and building strong supplier partnerships. 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. 

 

 

Some of the experience you’ll bring with you may include: 

 

  • Strong experience in tourism across product, sales, operations or commercial roles (5+ years) 

  • In-depth knowledge of Southern Africa travel operations, ideally within small group adventure travel 

  • Proven experience designing, costing and pricing itineraries 

  • Experience working with DMCs and tourism suppliers, including negotiation 

  • Ability to create commercially viable, experience-led travel products 

  • Familiarity with travel systems (e.g. Salesforce, Travel Studio, Elements) and strong Excel skills 

  • Understanding of global travel trends and customer expectations 

 

We know people bring different experiences and perspectives, so even if you don’t tick every box, we still encourage you to apply. 

 

Please note 

  • We recognise that AI use in applications is becoming more common. We review applications carefully, so if you choose to use AI, please do so thoughtfully and include something personal - it really makes a difference. 

  • Due to the volume of applications we receive, we may not be able to provide individual feedback to every applicant. 

  • We also reserve the right to close this advert earlier if we receive a high volume of applications.
