This is an in-office role. Close collaboration with your team is a big part of how we work.

France is new territory for Nordic Visitor. Your knowledge of the destination its regions suppliers and hidden gems will feed directly into the product we build for travellers coming in from outside Europe.

At its core this is a people and operations role. Youll manage and grow your team drive sales keep the office running smoothly and work closely with peer managers across our five European offices.

The first year involves a lot of groundwork: building supplier relationships from scratch and establishing credibility before volume follows. Were looking for a patient builder not just a quick seller.
