Inbound Travel Sales Specialist

Embark on an Adventure with Happy Travels!

Buckle up, things are about to get spicy. At Happy Travels, every day is different, every traveller has a story, and every shift comes with a healthy dose of banter (the good kind). We’re not your stiff corporate robots; we’re here for vibes, adventure, and graft. If you're a hard-working weapon who loves to chat and wants to level up in the travel sales industry, you’ll fit in nicely.

About Happy Travels:

We’ve spent 25+ years sending travellers on the kind of trips that make their mates back home wish they’d said ‘YES’. Reef dives? Sorted. Skydives? Easy. Campervan road trips that turn into “I might never go home”? Happens weekly.

We specialise in tailor-made adventures across Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia and beyond - basically, we make the impossible look easy and the boring look extinct.

The Role:

As an Inbound Travel Sales Specialist, you’re the first point of contact for backpackers and travellers who want “the best trip ever” but have zero clue where to start. You’ll chat, plan, recommend, upsell, calm chaos, create bucket-list itineraries, and have fun doing it.

This isn’t a “sit quietly and pretend you enjoy spreadsheets” job. This is fast-paced, energetic, and ideal for anyone who thrives on making things happen.

Our workplace vibe:

- Music is always pumping - silence is for libraries.
- Friday arvo drinks if we’ve smashed it (and we usually do).
- Maya the Lab and Franky the Staffy-X: emotional support doggos and unofficial HR.
- Jokes, energy, teamwork, and an atmosphere that genuinely slaps.

Benefits of the Role:

- Join a team of absolute legends - no egos, just people who hustle hard and have fun.
- Unlimited earning potential if you’ve got passion in your DNA.
- Sponsorship opportunities for top performers.
- Free travel perks - famils, adventures, all the good stuff.
- Friday arvo drinks on our rooftop balcony with the team.

- Bonus points: Speak French, German, Dutch - flex on us with your multilingual skills.
- Creative edge: Maybe you’re a blogger, photographer, content fiend, or just know your way around a cheeky reel.

Requirements:

- A valid working visa with a minimum of 6 months left
- Minimum 6-month commitment
