Relationship Manager, Faith and Pilgrimage
Hunt. Build. Own a book of business that takes people to the places that move them.
This isn’t a desk job — it’s a builder’s role. As Relationship Manager for Corporate Travel’s Faith & Pilgrimage division, you’ll go out and find group leaders, win their trust, and turn them into multi-year clients. You set the pace. You own the pipeline. And every group you contract is a real journey to Rome, the Holy Land, Lourdes, Fátima, the Camino de Santiago, and beyond.
We’re looking for hunters — entrepreneurial closers who wake up thinking about the next group leader they’re going to land, and who are energized by the chance to build a book from the ground up in a category that actually means something.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Hunt. Source, qualify, and win new group leader relationships — parishes, schools, faith communities, alumni networks. New logos are the scoreboard.
Sell. Run discovery meetings, pitch itineraries, close contracts, reactivate dormant accounts.
Build. Co-create world-class pilgrimage itineraries with our Project Management team that wow clients and protect margins.
Own it. Manage your portfolio end-to-end — from first conversation to departure meeting to the post-tour follow-up that becomes next year’s deal.
Lead the room. Present confidently to congregations, leadership boards, and large groups.
Sharpen your edge. Continuously deepen your command of destinations, sites, lodging, dining, and logistics until you sound like the expert your clients deserve.
Deliver. Make sure every client has the right documents in their hands at the right time.
WHAT YOU GET
Competitive base salary plus uncapped commissions
Real ownership of your book
A category that matters: you’re not selling widgets, you’re enabling life-changing journeys
Travel — site inspections, familiarization trips, and the chance to walk the destinations you sell
WHO YOU ARE
A sales hunter with 3+ years of professional sales experience and a track record of going out and getting business, not waiting for it to come to you
Entrepreneurial and self-directed. You don’t need a manager telling you to make the next call.
Faith-fluent. Comfortable with and respectful of Christian and Catholic pilgrimage traditions, and genuinely passionate about faith-based travel.
A strong communicator — written and oral — equally credible in front of a board, a congregation, or one-on-one over coffee
Detail-obsessed under pressure. You can run a complex pipeline and still get every itinerary, every name, every date right.
Calm, organized, and patient in a fast-paced environment; resilient when timelines compress
Bachelor’s degree in business, communications, or a related field
Fluent in MS Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word)
Willing to travel for training, sales, and event production
Willing to put in the time outside 9-to-5 when a deal — or a departure — demands it
