  • Deliver accurate forecasting, reporting, and market insights to support executive decision-making and identify growth opportunities.
  • Provide clear, inspiring leadership to a geographically dispersed team, fostering accountability, collaboration, and innovation.
  • Drive continuous improvement in portfolio performance, ensuring efficiency, strong governance, and alignment with Virgin Australia's strategy.
  • Champion a culture of safety, security, and resilience by adhering to compliance requirements and embedding safe work practices.
What you'll be great in this role if you:
  • Relevant tertiary qualifications.
  • Minimum 10 years' experience in sales leadership and B2B business development.
  • Proven success in developing detailed business plans that deliver positive ROI.
  • Resilient, with the ability to challenge and influence while maintaining a focus on sustainable business growth.
  • Exceptional negotiation skills and proven ability to engage at senior executive levels within corporate partners.
  • Extensive network of corporate and travel industry contacts, with the ability to build and strengthen relationships at an executive level.
  • Strong knowledge of contract negotiation and acquisition tender processes for new business.
  • Deep understanding of the Australian corporate travel (B2B) market.
