The Company is seeking an Associate Vice President for Travel and Tourism Communications. The successful candidate will be responsible for the day-to-day management of significant international client accounts within the travel and tourism practice, serving as the senior client relationship holder. This role also involves contributing to new business development, including hands-on pitching for prospective clients. The ideal candidate should have a background in communications and PR, with a focus on travel, tourism, or destination marketing, and a proven track record in managing multi-market or multi-office client programs. Key responsibilities for the Associate Vice President include owning the delivery, quality, and client relationship for major accounts, managing editorial quality control, leading a support team, and writing and leading new business proposals. The role requires a professional with strong, confident writing skills, the ability to manage senior client relationships with limited oversight, and a comfort level in a small, start-up-style regional team environment. Experience in new business pitching, particularly in the travel and tourism sector, is essential. The candidate should be fluent in English, with a strong editorial judgment and sourcing discipline, and be prepared to travel internationally as needed.
