Junior Business Development/Content Manager [CLOSED]

BikeTours.com is a team of Europe bike experts who help clients choose, plan, and book the bicycle tours of their dreams. They offer more than 150 bike tours and bike + boat tours in over 30 countries from value to luxury and everything in between!

"Our goal is to provide an opportunity for every traveller to explore the world and enjoy the journey at the perfect pace."

Customers come to them because they are travellers helping travellers and they have the most curated bike tours offers on the market.

Their team of circa 30 is located across the US, Georgia, South Africa and the Philippines. They are a global and loyal team with almost no turnover, as the company takes care of its employees and views them very much as the extension of the family.

Right now, BikeTours.com is looking for a Junior Business Development/Content Manager to help build out a company with a global presence. Ideally, you also share the company's passion for cycling and travel, and you want to work for a sophisticated family-owned company with an international team.

Key points of your role will, therefore, include:

🔵Managing and finding partners in each city

🔵Collecting, organising and rewriting tour offers for each partner

🔵Identify other potential re-selling fits with each partner

More specifically, within this role, you will:

• Help reach out to and sign up a single-day bike tour operator in every tourist market in Europe and eventually the world.
• Collect relevant media and help find unique photos for city landing pages
• Rewrite day tour content for each city
• Note potential expansion opportunities with operators (e.g. multi-day tours)
• Help manage the content of each city landing page
• Help collect deal information i.e. how BikeTours connects with their APIs, facilitates business relationships
• Manage Salesforce (the company’s CRM) by entering operator information, assisting in potential automation and data collection / analysis
• Report to the CEO and interact with marketing teams and other tour development/content team members

Initially, the focus will be on the European market, however, that will soon expand to more cities across other continents and you will play a key role in that process. The basics of your role are simple and you will be able to quickly hit the ground running by reaching out to new partners and learning more about the company's systems, processes, and team members.

To excel in this role, you need to have:

• Excellent communication and writing skills
• Experience with/knowledge of sales and best practices
• Ability to see the big picture
• Great computer skills – you are tech-savvy
• A passion for travelling and cycling
• Gregarious personality and great work ethic
• Familiarity with Google Workspace, CRM(s), Slack, email & content management systems, and SEO (a plus!)

Ideally, you also have experience in sales/business development and/or tourism. However, you must be able to demonstrate your interest in these areas.

What’s in it for you?

• $1500 - $2500* per month + 20% yearly bonus
• Full-time & fully remote role
• Working hours largely during the EU business hours, with some overlap with the Californian time for communication with the CEO; the hours are very flexible as long as you get your job done
• Potential bonus packages based on your performance and contributions to the company
• Opportunities for professional development and growth to a more senior role as the company grows
