Ventrata is excited to announce we are recruiting a skilled, US-based Sales Manager with a love of tours and attractions to drive new sales growth in the Americas. Our product is changing the way tours and tickets are sold across the planet.
This rewarding new role will be integral to our growth trajectory. If you're excited about working in a fast-growth, scale-up environment with cutting-edge products that remove operational friction and maximize revenue opportunities in the leisure and tourism industries, then this is the role for you.
The role is remote and will be based in North America. For consideration, it's expected that you are based in and able to work during the office hours of the target region. Additionally, you will be traveling for prospective customer visits or to conferences and events.

  • Sales Targets and Growth: Responsible for the delivery of net new business and client wins.
  • Deliver against business targets and objectives
  • Management of the sales process end-to-end in your assigned territory. Identifying opportunities in the market to position the product effectively and enhance the value proposition to your target market
