The travel industry has a vast array of talent and is bursting with opportunities. It is filled with unseen people, people like you, who behind the scenes make our journeys possible and bring them all to life. Whether it be the social media teams behind a hotel booking app or the operations people for a cruise around the Caribbean, the tech teams behind your flights to Spain or the sales people for a global holiday review website. Wander will be telling their story and finding fresh new talent to join their teams.
Are you socially aware? Are you self-aware? Do you have strong work ethic, are open to feedback and are naturally organised? A sales career within travel can be hugely rewarding, not just financially but with the places you may be lucky enough to visit. Great sales people own their accomplishments without any ego, they learn from their mistakes and they are natural relationship builders. Is this you?
As one of the most dynamic, constantly changing professions right at the forefront of business, marketing has much to offer you if you are looking for a lasting and rewarding career. You need to be an excellent communicator, must be able to organise and to plan. It is vital you are creative, analytical and a good understanding of digital terminology and processes really helps. Are you this person?
Are you able to showcase first class organisation and outstanding attention to detail? Are you an excellent problem solver or all-round lateral thinker? Ops people are the beating heart of any business. Their responsibilities include both the operations process, embracing design, planning, control, performance improvement and operations strategy. They make sure things run smoothly and effectively and keep everything on budget. Does this sound familiar?
A technically-minded and highly skilled digital native? Whether you’re an app developer, front or back end web developer or even a systems analyst, those who succeed in digital roles within travel are those with the best communication skills, a team work attitude and serious problem solving abilities. The travel industry has more innovative startups than almost any other industry, fancy joining one of them?
