Tour Consultant, Group Sales

JOB DESCRIPTION

Start Date: February 2nd, 2027

Application Deadline: December 31st, 2026

For consideration, applicants must live/relocate to the state of Massachusetts or within commutable distance to our Cambridge, MA office. Enjoy the flexibility of working from home on Fridays, while collaborating in the office from Monday through Thursday.

For over 30 years, EF Go Ahead Tours has guided adult travelers across the globe via carefully crafted group travel itineraries. Our travelers range from young professionals to retirees, solo travelers to entire families, travel enthusiasts to those stepping off their first flight. We believe the best way to learn about the world is to experience it and every day we come to work hoping to help as many people as possible do just that.

The Role:

In this role, you will be responsible for owning and growing a book of business made up of Group Coordinators. We are looking for ambitious, high performing, self-motivated individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit. To achieve success, you will be responsible for qualifying, following up with, and converting sales leads to customers via outbound phone sales. You’ll drive a mission of sustainable and scalable growth, work on business challenges, and ultimately build a customer base that is loyal and will want to travel with us year after year. Internally, we are looking to create a world class sales team motivated by learning, professional growth, and consistently hitting key sales metrics.

You will be part of our Sales Development Program where you will receive one-on-one personal attention designed to promote professional growth and understanding of the business. Your goal will be to develop your own book of business, follow up on warm leads and maintain a healthy pipeline. You will help our customers see the world and take pride in being part of an organization that is shaping the global perspective of travelers.

A Successful Tour Consultant Will Be:

• Influential and can intrinsically motivate others (persuade vs. tell)
• A good listener with strong communication and collaboration skills
• Self-starter who desires to take responsibility for their professional and pipeline growth
• Confident and decisive when faced with a challenge
• Able to take feedback and implement it quickly
• A problem-solver who has the ability to utilize curiosity and apply what they’ve discovered to create an effective solution
• An adaptable and highly motivated team player and individual contributor
