Job Description

Travel Architect
You already know how to design a journey. But what if your next journey is your own?
There's a certain kind of person who thrives in luxury inbound travel. Not the loudest. Not the flashiest. The one who sees the invisible threads -- the pacing, the personality cues, the unspoken expectations -- and quietly weaves them into something unforgettable. If that's you, keep reading.
Why this role might be calling you (even if you're not "looking")

• Because you've mastered the mechanics of itinerary design, but you're craving a place where craft still matters.
• Because you want to work somewhere that treats travel like an art form, not a transaction.
• Because you want ownership -- real ownership -- of the client relationship, the creative direction, the emotional arc of the journey.
• Because you want to build trips that feel like stories worth retelling.

This division is built on four things you already value:

• Authenticity -- real stories, real connection.
• Distinctiveness -- experiences that don't feel mass?produced.
• Connection -- with travellers, suppliers, communities, landscapes.
• Humanity -- empathy, care, and the kind of hospitality that can't be scripted.

What your days look like.

• You're the architect -- the one who holds the vision from the first hello to the final "tell me everything when you're home."
• You'll shape journeys for travellers from the USA, UK, Europe, and Australia who expect excellence -- and appreciate the human behind it.
• You'll guide them, design for them, protect their experience, and sometimes rescue it when the unexpected happens.
• You'll collaborate with a Junior Assistant who supports the operational load, while you retain the creative and relational ownership.
• You'll be trusted to make decisions, solve problems, and deliver "over-the-top" moments that turn clients into lifelong advocates.
• And you'll do it with a team that understands the weight of this craft -- and gives you the space to do your best work.

Who you are (if we're describing you, you'll feel it)

• You've spent 5+ years crafting luxury FIT itineraries across Southern & East Africa.
• You think in routes, rhythms, seasons, and stories.
• You write beautifully, speak confidently, and build rapport without trying.
• You're commercially sharp -- FOREX, margins, supplier terms don't intimidate you.
• You're calm in crisis, meticulous with detail, and warm with clients.
• You know how to own a sales cycle without feeling "salesy."
• You're the person colleagues come to when they need something done properly.

If you're nodding, you're likely the one we're hoping to meet.
Why this opportunity stands out
Because this is a place where:

• Your expertise is respected.
• Your creativity is encouraged.
• Your standards are matched.
• Your clients become your clients -- not just names in a CRM.
• Your work genuinely changes how travellers experience Africa.
• And because you deserve a role that feels like a step toward something, not just another stop along the way.

The practical bits

• Senior, client?facing role
• Full ownership of itinerary design, proposal creation, booking oversight, and client relationship

If this feels like it was written for you... it probably was.
