Sales Executive - Matchmaking. London, Hybrid

Please note that the shift pattern for this role will be Sunday - Thursday each week.

Life is too short for average stays…

We are all on this earth for a short and precious time, which means every single holiday is really quite important. Plum Guide is on a mission to eradicate travel disappointment for the discerning traveller resulting in an exceptional experience every single time.

We promise:

1. The Best Homes: We vet every home selecting only the best in each destination (across 3 categories)

2. Total Transparency: We cut the crap, calling out home truths and taking a zero BS approach to comms - building trust and brand integrity

3. Exceptional Service: Real humans, readily available, delivering unparalleled service. If things go wrong, we do all we can to rectify the situation.

Since launching in 2016 we have grown incredibly quickly expanding to hundreds of locations returning the highest NPS scores in the industry.

We are backed by some of the world’s top entrepreneurs and VCs. These include the founders and backers of TransferWise, Citymapper, Zoopla, Secret Escapes, BuzzFeed, Appear Here, Graze, LoveFilm, and many more. Our goal for the next 12 months is to dominate the top 1% market share in our customers' top 60 markets, turning every guest into an advocate along the way.

There are 3 core principles at the heart of everything we do: speed, service, and solutions.

Our guests and partners (predominantly luxury travel agents, concierge companies, and Film and TV studios & production companies) often require assistance in finding the perfect home(s) for themselves or their clients without needing to sift through hundreds of homes on the website.

• Providing quotes

• Working as part of a fast paced, agile team, offering our Partners a world class customer service experience

The role won’t include:
