Description
The Opportunity African Safari Group is a fast-scaling luxury safari business selling five-star African safari experiences to high-net-worth clients across the UK, EU, US, and Australia. Our sales organisation is 104 consultation-led consultants across six managed teams, converting 2,000+ qualified leads per month — and we are scaling it to 200+ consultants over the next 24 months while opening entirely new revenue lines. (Especially targeting the Eastern & Southern African regions) We need a sales leader to own that scaling. All six sales managers report to you. You consolidate the organisation under one operating rhythm, one forecast, and one standard — and then you double it without letting quality slip. What You'll Lead The Organisation Six sales managers and their teams: Eastern Africa, Southern Africa, and four South African teams Fledgling Flights, DMC and ITC Departments Full ownership of sales execution, forecast, and manager performance A documented, proven sales process as your operating standard — your job is to enforce and improve it at scale, not invent it Conversion and Discipline A weekly stage-conversion scorecard by team and consultant as the single management instrument Lift performance inside the existing funnel — contact, consultation, quote-to-deposit — before adding heads Develop the six managers into leaders who run their own performance management The Scaling Machine Build the recruitment and onboarding engine that takes us from 104 to 200+ consultants, measured by cohort ramp and time-to-target Plan manager capacity ahead of consultant intake so teams never outgrow their leaders Partner monthly with the Head of Performance Marketing on lead supply and capacity planning New Revenue Lines Launch and prove a group bookings desk (photographic, incentive, special-interest) Build an independent travel consultant (ITC) network selling under the ASG brand Establish DMC services for international agents and operators who need Africa expertise
