Role
Who you are
- A proven track record leading high-performing B2C or hybridB2c + B2B sales teams in a fast-paced, growth-stage environment
- Strong commercial instincts and analytical ability - you understand funnel metrics, can diagnose CVR shifts, and translate data into actionable plans
- Expertise in managing multi-channel sales (phone, chat, email, outbound) with clear operational playbooks
- Experience partnering with RevOps/Marketing/Tech teams to improve lead quality scoring models, and conversion tracking, as well as understanding shifts in the pipeline and how to optimize and drive more high quality leads in through lifecycle efforts
- Deep coaching and people-leadership capability; you build cultures that balance empathy and accountability
- Strategic mindset - comfortable zooming out to define direction and zooming in to execute when needed
- Strong communication and influence skills across all levels; able to secure alignment without hierarchy
- Experience building or managing communities (private members' clubs, tiered membership programmes, ambassador networks) would be a real bonus
- Someone willing to roll their sleeves up when their team needs it - no job is too small for them
- Passion for travel, storytelling, and human connection - you resonate with Flash Pack’s mission and brand
- Adaptability—thrives in a high-growth, evolving environment where no two weeks look the same
- We’re after the right person and if you don’t quite hit all the criteria, we’d still encourage you to apply. We’d love to chat and see if you could be a great fit for Flash Pack
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a strategic and performance-driven Head of CX Growth (Sales) to lead Flash Pack’s global sales function and drive revenue and new customer growth across our pre-booking funnel
- This is a mat-cover role for 12 months, starting no later than October 2026
- You’ll lead an international team of Travel Experts across multiple timezones, converting prospective customers into bookings through live chat, phone, email, and outbound channels
- This isn’t a caretaker role; you’ll have full autonomy and genuine creative license to reimagine how we sell - from building out an entirely new community-led approach to driving sales, to lifting performance across every channel and every stage of the funnel, from those who have just discovered the brand through to ultra-repeats ready to book again
- You’ll define the strategy, build out your team as you require, test new ideas and partner with teams across the business to accelerate conversion (CVR) at every touch point
- You’ll combine commercial acumen with empathetic leadership - driving outcomes through clear direction, coaching, and data-driven insight - while championing the customer experience and scaling a world-class sales culture
- If you're a commercially sharp, people-first leader who wants the freedom to build something, this is your role
- Owning performance: Lead and grow the Pre-Booking sales team to consistently exceed CVR targets across all lead and customer types
- Driving strategy: Define and execute the sales roadmap - channel optimisation, outbound development, and partnership with teams across the business to improve conversion at every opportunity
- Improving systems: Collaborate with finance, tech and RevOps teams to enhance workflows, dashboards, and conversion reporting, ensuring insights directly inform daily decisions
- Developing people: Coach Team Leads and Travel Experts, build clear progression pathways, and foster a high-accountability, high-support culture
- Experimenting and scaling: Test new sales motions (community forums, webinars, live content plays, AI tools) to improve lead engagement and booking velocity
- Representing the function: Communicate performance narratives, forecasts, and learnings to senior leadership, shaping company-wide commercial strategy
Application process
- Our interviews take place on Google Meet and usually consist of the following stages:
- Introductory chat with our Talent team to see if there is a match (30 mins)
- A competency-based interview with the hiring manager and another key member of the team to hear more about your background and experience and to give you a deep dive into the role (~60 mins)
- A case study and presentation with the hiring manager and our CEO to see how you’d solve a problem (60 mins)
- Meet with one of our other founders for any final questions you or we have (~60 mins
- Some roles may have extra stages, but we will let you know as soon as possible in the process if this is the case
Our take
Flash Pack is a travel firm whose mission is to build new friendships through group travel for solo travellers. The founders are a couple who started discussing the business idea behind Flash Pack during their first date. Both of them realised that there was a gap in the market for a travel company that catered to people such as themselves.
Their target market is professionals with a growth mindset. Their trips are carefully designed to offer immersive and authentic experiences, distinguishing Flash Pack in a tourism market that is crowded with bland trips.
While the company took a hit during the pandemic, hitting pause on its adventures like many others - but it didn't stay down for long. Since relaunching, the company has seen even more success, with triple-digit year-on-year growth and a shelf full of awards to show for it. And with the solo travel market heating up fast, Flash Pack looks perfectly positioned to ride the next big wave.

Company values
- Customer, Team, Self: You seek what is best for Flash Pack before yourself or your group. Service is the foundation on which this business is built and we believe a culture that fosters non-ego, servant leadership is a truly differentiated advantage that can only be built on trust.
- Growth Mindset: We compete in a hyper-competitive industry where benchmarking against competitors is the norm. We’re looking for people who want to set the benchmark rather than celebrate incremental improvements over the competition
- Simplify, Focus, Execute: We value simplicity over complexity. We strive to ruthlessly prioritise. We say no to many things so we can focus on the things that are truly meaningful to us. Bias-to-action and avoid analysis-paralysis. Focus on great results rather than on process
- Humility: No A’holes please, this includes staff and customers. We bring together exceptional individuals but we optimise for the best team outcome. There is no individual bigger than the team and we don’t tolerate egotistical or selfish behaviour. Be self-critical, welcome feedback, continuously experiment and seek perspectives and solutions from outside the company
- Embrace the Adventure: Yes we stole this from Airbnb! To us this means embracing challenges, use feedback and learn from failures and mistakes rather than dwell on them. Be a curious and a continuous learner, focus on bettering oneself and your team rather than protecting oneself
