COMPANY: PREMIUM EXPEDITION CRUISE AND LUXURY HOSPITALITY GROUP
Position Overview
On behalf of our client, we are seeking a mission‑critical Head of Global Sales to serve as a field sales commander and revenue driver with hands on approach. This role is designed for a high‑energy disruptor who thrives in entrepreneurial, privately held environments. You will be responsible for the total sales function, reporting directly to the CEO and Shareholders to deliver immediate results and stable long‑term partnerships.
This is not a traditional administrative or corporate role. We are looking for a riser in the ranks who prefers doing over telling, and who possesses the mentality to organize actions, timelines, and structures independently, sometimes in a very tight deadline schedule. You will lead a 100 percent sales‑focused team, stripped of the distractions of operations, marketing, or finance, to focus entirely on maximum revenue generation. The primary objective is to continue to create awareness and build our partnerships in support of our top ranked industry brand.

Direct and manage all global sales efforts, focusing 100 percent on sales activities and revenue generation.
Build and implement a structured sales timeline and action plan to be executed by the sales team.
Lead by example as a field commander who is comfortable managing and delivering results remotely, setting a strategic travel schedule to help build partnerships, close deals, and support each market as needed.
Focus on big business opportunities first, prioritizing groups and charters, followed by Travel Agent Partners and Retail Segments.

Leverage and expand a rolodex of high‑end partners and luxury travel networks capable of delivering $800 plus per diems.
Cultivate stable, long‑term partner relations that withstand market shifts.

Create the structure and framework for your team to own and drive their sales targets effectively.
Ensure 100 percent alignment with sales goals through clear task setting and performance follow‑up.
Strategic Collaboration
Work in direct partnership with the CEO and Shareholders to implement results‑oriented solutions.
Maintain a focus on action and delivery, minimizing time spent on internal debates or non‑sales processes.
Ensure clarity between sales and other departments (Operations, Revenue, Marketing, Finance) without interjecting into their functional management.
