The Role You will own new-client acquisitions. This means identifying prospects – resorts, restaurants, guest houses, liveaboards – building relationships, understanding their needs, pitching our capability, and closing them as customers. You will work closely with our sales manager to convert prospects into live accounts. This is not a specific back-office role; you will spend time out meeting clients, not at a desk all the time.
