Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the Solo proposition as a ā€œbrand within a brandā€, ensuring a clear and differentiated customer promise across product, marketing communications and on‑holiday delivery.

  • Continuously review, refine and enhance Solo itineraries and experiences to ensure they remain compelling, relevant and competitive.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and suppliers to ensure consistent standards for accommodation, transport and tour content, resolving issues and driving quality improvements.
  • Identify and develop new Solo product opportunities, researching and creating new itineraries in a cost-effective way and in line with customer expectations.

  • Support brochure and website content creation by providing detailed tour notes, checking accuracy of copy and ensuring amendments are implemented.

Requirements

  • Strong problem-solving skills
  • Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple priorities under pressure.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to influence stakeholders at all levels.
  • A proactive, can-do attitude with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
