We’re looking for a Commercial Sales Representative to help drive the next phase of growth at Traverse. This is a hands-on business development role at the intersection of travel, creators, and live events – working with brands, tourism boards, and partners from day one.

You’ll be speaking to decision-makers, building long-term relationships, and turning conversations into commercial opportunities. It’s a role for someone who’s self-motivated, target-driven, and excited by fast-paced environments where initiative actually matters.

If you’re excited by the travel and creator economy and want real responsibility, meaningful relationships, and visible impact in a growing company, we’d love to hear from you.
