The Gig:
The Voyage Planner is a sales-driven role responsible for generating revenue through outbound and inbound opportunities while delivering exceptional Sailor service. This is a hybrid Sales and Service role. You own the full sales cycle — from lead engagement to booking and follow-up — while also supporting Sailors with their existing bookings.
This role operates in a metrics-driven environment with clear revenue and conversion targets. High performance in this role means hitting numbers and leaving sailors glad they called.
This gig is based at VVHQ - our swanky Virgin Voyages Head Office in Plantation, FL where we follow a hybrid work environment. We can't wait to 'sea' you in person during our Collaboration Days, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, while you enjoy Mondays and Fridays' as remote days.
