Sales Manager (product & Contracting)

Dé VakantieDiscounter is one of the largest online travel agencies in the Benelux and does everything just a little differently. From our colourful office in Amsterdam, we work hard to continue growing nationally and internationally in the coming years. To help realize our ambitious goals, we are looking for a Sales Manager.

What will you be doing?

As a Sales Manager, you are responsible for the commercial performance of your assigned destination portfolio. Your focus is continuously analyzing sales and performance, identifying opportunities, and taking direct action to improve results. Based on data and insights, you steer your portfolio daily to ensure it remains competitive, attractive and commercially successful.

You work closely with our suppliers to secure strong partnerships and the best possible deals. You negotiate availability, pricing and conditions, with a focus on maximizing performance and securing (exclusive) commercial opportunities that differentiate our offering.

On a weekly basis, you collaborate intensively with the cross-commercial teams, Supply, Revenue Management and Marketing, to identify opportunities, set priorities and align actions. Together, you decide where to focus, which deals to push and how to optimize performance across the full customer journey.

As part of the Supply department, you contribute directly to building and optimizing the holiday offering on our website, ensuring both strong contracting and optimal bookability of your assigned destinations.

In addition, investment planning and business case development (including budgets, ROI and risk analysis) are part of the role, but play a smaller, supporting role in driving overall performance.

 What do we ask of you?

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in tourism, hospitality or international business

• This role is ideal for ambitious professionals ready for their second step, eager to take ownership and drive commercial performance.

• Demonstrated success in negotiations and commercial steering

• Strong analytical skills, persuasive communication and the ability to justify complex decisions clearly

• Willingness to travel for partner visits and international trade events (3-5 times a year)

• Fulltime available (39 hours)

• Living max. 1 hour travel distance from Amsterdam

• Fluent in English
