About the Role
Weâre hiring a Sales & Planning Coordinator to help turn early-stage ideas into accurate, compelling, client-ready proposals. Youâll work across Sales and Planning & Product Solutions, coordinating timelines, gathering supplier inputs, supporting destination and product research, and keeping proposal details organized from initial sourcing through handover to Operations. On any given week, you might be issuing hotel or DMC RFPs, comparing proposals, building room blocks and program grids, collecting quotes, updating cost models, maintaining CRM data, or preparing presentation content for a client opportunity.
Success in this role looks like stronger proposals, reliable timelines, accurate information, and smooth handoffs between teams. Youâll bring âBe the Participantâ into the planning process by researching experiences with the end user in mind and balancing creativity with cost, feasibility, and client expectations. This is a collaborative, detail-heavy role with exposure to sourcing, budgeting, supplier relationships, and program design. If you enjoy organizing moving pieces and helping ideas become clear, polished solutions, youâll do well here.
The base salary range for this role is $60,000 - $65,000 annually.
This Role Is a Strong Fit If...
- You enjoy working across teams and can balance priorities from multiple stakeholders without losing sight of deadlines.
- You can turn a broad brief and many supplier inputs into organized, polished, client-ready information.
- You are curious about global destinations, hotels, experiences, and what makes a program memorable for participants.
- You take ownership of details, follow up consistently, and flag risks before they affect a proposal.
- You want to build commercial, sourcing, and planning skills in a fast-paced, proposal-driven environment.
This Role May Not Be a Fit If...
- You are looking primarily for on-site event execution rather than pre-sale research, sourcing, budgeting, and proposal work.
- You prefer to work independently and find frequent collaboration, follow-up, or changing priorities frustrating.
- You dislike spreadsheets, detailed comparisons, or quality-checking information from multiple sources.
- You need every process to be fully defined; this role requires comfort with ambiguity and helping improve how work gets done.
